So many people are reaching for heavier moisturizers right now. 🧴❄️
If your skin has been feeling “dry” and nothing seems to work, you’re not alone, I’m seeing this constantly. 

Dry vs. dehydrated gets mixed up all the time — and they don’t respond to the same formulas. 
Sometimes skin is dry and missing oil (it needs lipids + fatty acids) 🧈 
Other times it’s dehydrated and missing water (it needs hyaluronic acid + glycerin) 💦 
And sometimes it’s both.

This guide breaks down the difference between dry and dehydrated skin, and the exact formulas I rely on in my own routine and reach for daily in the treatment room to restore hydration, support the barrier, and bring skin back to calm, comfortable balance. ⚖️

Not sure if your skin is dry, dehydrated or both? I’m always here to help. 🩵
DM me to book a virtual consult — available Tuesdays & Fridays. ✨📩
