Addressing Skin Hydration in Gawler, South Australia
A professional approach to replenishing moisture and supporting your skin's barrier.
What is dehydrated skin?
It’s that tight, uncomfortable feeling after you wash your face. The dullness you can't seem to shake. The way your makeup looks patchy or flaky by midday.
That’s dehydrated skin, and it's a sign that your skin's natural moisture barrier needs support. Weather, stress, and even the wrong products can weaken it, leaving your skin feeling less comfortable.
Why does dehydration happen?
Dehydrated skin isn't only for people with a "dry" skin type. Even oily skin can be dehydrated. It happens when your skin's natural moisture barrier isn't working at its best. This barrier is a protective shield. Cold weather, air conditioning, using the wrong products, or even stress can weaken this shield, allowing moisture to escape.
Our Hydration Approach for a Stronger Skin Barrier
Our strategy is a two-step process. First, we apply treatments intended to replenish what's been lost. Then, we work on supporting your skin's natural barrier, which supports the skin’s ability to retain water. The goal is to support the long-term shift towards skin that feels balanced and comfortable.
Your Questions Answered
‘Dry' is a skin type that means your skin naturally produces less oil. 'Dehydrated' is a skin condition, meaning your skin is lacking water. You can have an oily skin type but still have dehydrated skin.
Drinking plenty of water is needed for your overall health, but it often isn't enough to fix a compromised skin barrier on its own. The problem is usually that your skin can't hold onto the water it has.
Your daily moisturiser is great for surface-level hydration. A professional treatment may deliver hydration to replenish your skin, while also exfoliating the surface to help your at-home products work better.
