Understanding Dry, Dehydrated & Dull Skin
Flaky patches, tightness, or a flat, lacklustre complexion can make your skin look tired and feel uncomfortable — no matter how much moisturiser you use. At Face Foundry, we understand that dryness, dehydration, and dullness have different causes, and each requires a targeted approach to restore your skin’s natural glow, softness, and vitality.
Understanding Dry, Dehydrated & Dull Skin
Dry skin lacks oil, while dehydrated skin lacks water. Both conditions can make your skin look dull, highlight fine lines, and impair its ability to protect itself from environmental damage.
Dullness occurs when the skin’s natural turnover slows down, causing a buildup of dead skin cells that scatter light unevenly, making skin look flat instead of radiant.
Common Causes
- Climate & Environment – Harsh weather or air conditioning strips moisture.
- Over-Cleansing – Disrupts the skin’s natural oil barrier.
- Ageing – Slows down oil production and cell turnover.
- Lifestyle Factors – Poor diet, stress, lack of sleep, or smoking.
- Skincare Choices – Harsh exfoliants or unsuitable products.
Common Signs You May Notice
- Flakiness or rough patches.
- Tight, uncomfortable feeling after cleansing.
- Skin that appears flat, ashy, or tired.
- Fine lines that look more pronounced.
- Makeup that clings to dry areas.
