Ep 8: Is Your Skin Dry or Dehydrated?

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked…

The Difference Between Dry and Dehydrated Skin

Even though they sound similar, dry skin and dehydrated skin aren't the same thing. But how do you know if your skin was born dry, or is just perpetually thirsty? Or both?

Michelle explains the difference between these two skincare terms, including what they are, their common signs and how to tell the difference between dryness and dehydration.

Plus, can drinking water actually hydrate your skin? We find out in our Pop Quiz segment. Oh, and we also share the Best in Class products to help manage the signs of dryness and dehydration.
