If you are experiencing dehydrated skin, there are ingredients that can instantly help, explains board-certified dermatologistDr.
Tess Mauricio, who spoke to Bustle for this article.
Even too-hot showers and the wrong skin care products can dehydrate your skin.
That said, most ingredients that treat dry skin can also treat dehydrated skin, and vice versa.
Doctors Pick: Best Ointment
I dont leave home without this multipurpose healing ointment, says Dr. Mauricio.
Aquaphorcontains 40% petrolatum, glycerin, and one of my favorite calming ingredients, bisabolol.
Its the go to ointment to treat and prevent dry, rough, scaly, and itchy skin.
It adds and locks in moisture.
It is also an occlusive which seals in our skins moisture barrier.
This is a great instant rescue for the skin.
(Its also got the stamp of approvalfrom the National Eczema Association.)
This will leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed, not dry and stripped.
Best French Pharmacy Cleanser
Another great option to cleanse your dehydrated skin isLa Roche-Posays Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser.
Best Serum
ThisGlow Recipe serumcontains two of the ingredients Dr. Mauricio recommends, glycerin and several types of ceramides.
It doesnt hurt that this multipurpose oil smells amazing, either.
