Dehydrated skin is not a skin type but a skin condition. Ones’ skin can be dry, oily, combination or dehydrated. The natural moisturizing factor (NMF) is an invisible amino acid composition that sits on the stratum corneum as well as interwoven into the skin cell making up a part that is considered the skin's "acid mantle".  Both dry and oily skin can struggle to hold moisture when the acid mantel layer is disrupted. 

Harsh cleansers, hot water and excessive use of AHA's, retinoids and of course the biggest external culprit, the sun, contribute to dehydrated skin.  Seasonal changes, lifestyle and aging in general can also contribute to dehydrated skin.  Selecting products to promote internal moisture balance and enhance the skin barrier will help guard against dehydration.
