Overly aggressive cleansing or excessively frequent exfoliation can leave the skin less comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>That is why, when you have dehydrated skin, it is not only important to choose moisturising products, but also to make your whole routine more balanced.<\/p>\n<h2>Gentle cleansing is the first step<\/h2>\n<p>Every skincare routine starts with cleansing.<\/p>\n<p>The skin needs to be cleared of impurities and residues, but without using products that leave it excessively dry.<\/p>\n<p>Biokosmo&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biokosmo.bio\/en\/prodotto\/antioxidant-and-replenishing-cleansing-cream\/\">Antioxidant Nourishing Cleansing Milk<\/a>, for example, can be used in your routine to cleanse the face and prepare it for the treatments that follow.<\/p>\n<p>After cleansing you can also use a toner, always choosing products that are consistent with the characteristics of your skin.<\/p>\n<h2>Dehydrated skin: which products to use?<\/h2>\n<p>One of the best-known ingredients when it comes to cosmetic hydration is <strong>hyaluronic acid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Biokosmo&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biokosmo.bio\/en\/prodotto\/anti-ageing-elasticising-face-serum\/\">Anti-Ageing Elasticising Face Serum<\/a> contains hyaluronic acid together with aloe, snail slime and organic Damask Rose water, and is designed to help the skin stay soft, elastic and hydrated.<\/p>\n<p>The serum is applied after cleansing and before your cream.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you can choose a face cream according to your skin type. Dehydrated but combination skin may prefer a lighter texture, while skin that is also dry may need a more nourishing formula.<\/p>\n<h2>Be careful with exfoliation<\/h2>\n<p>A scrub can help make the skin smoother and more radiant, but it should not become an overly frequent gesture.<\/p>\n<p>When the skin is dehydrated or particularly sensitive, overly intense exfoliation can increase the feeling of discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>It is therefore better to follow the product&#8217;s directions for use and always observe how your skin responds.<\/p>\n<p>Masks and specific treatments can also be used periodically to complete the routine, without replacing daily gestures.<\/p>\n<h2>The routine for dehydrated skin<\/h2>\n<p>Effective skincare does not have to be complicated.<\/p>\n<p>In the morning, this may be enough:<\/p>\n<p><strong>cleanser &#8211; serum &#8211; cream &#8211; sun protection.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the evening:<\/p>\n<p><strong>cleanser &#8211; serum &#8211; cream.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Periodic treatments can be added to these steps as needed.<\/p>\n<p>The key word is <strong>consistency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Dehydrated skin can change quickly depending on the season, the environment and your habits. That is why it is useful to observe how it reacts and adapt your routine when necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing targeted products, without overloading the skin, allows you to build a simpler, more enjoyable and more mindful skincare routine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how to recognise dehydrated skin, its most common causes and which products to use for a simple, targeted skincare routine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":74,"featured_media":8502,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[101],"tags":[384,385],"class_list":["post-8526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-skincare-en","tag-dehydrated-skin","tag-skin-hydration"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biokosmo.bio\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biokosmo.bio\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biokosmo.bio\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biokosmo.bio\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/74"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biokosmo.bio\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8526"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.biokosmo.bio\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8526\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8548,"href":"https:\/\/www.biokosmo.bio\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8526\/revisions\/8548"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biokosmo.bio\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biokosmo.bio\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biokosmo.bio\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biokosmo.bio\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
