What does dehydrated skin primarily lack?

Oils
Moisture
Vitamins
Nutrients

The correct answer is: Moisture

Dehydrated skin primarily lacks moisture, which is essential for maintaining healthy skin function. When skin is dehydrated, it does not contain enough water, leading to a feeling of tightness, flakiness, and a dull appearance. This condition can affect individuals regardless of their skin type, including oily skin, which may still feel dehydrated if it lacks adequate hydration. Maintaining proper moisture levels in the skin is crucial for elasticity, plumpness, and overall health. Hydration also assists in the skin's barrier function, preventing transepidermal water loss and protecting against environmental aggressors. Therefore, understanding the role of moisture in skin health helps estheticians provide effective treatments and recommend suitable products to clients dealing with dehydrated skin.
