So, what is dehydrated skin? Our skin becomes dry or dehydrated when it loses water too quickly, or is exposed to cold weather. The same is true of our bodies – that’s why it’s important to care for the skin on your body just as much as your face. If you need help for dehydrated skin on your body, developing a moisturizing skin care routine in the shower will help you care for your skin and leave it feeling beautifully smooth and hydrated.
