Dehydration and Dryness

Dehydration is a lack of water in the skin while dryness reflects a reduced oil content. Both weaken the barrier and can cause tightness, flaking, irritation, dullness and accelerated ageing.

Causes:

• Compromised skin barrier from harsh cleansers or over-exfoliation

• Low humidity, cold weather, or indoor heating

• Hot showers stripping natural oils

• Age-related lipid + ceramide decline

• Diet low in essential fatty acids

• Caffeine, alcohol, and dehydration

• Overusing active ingredients damaging the barrier

Treatments at Anya Haus Aesthetics:

• Deep Hydration-focused facials

• Skin boosters to restore water and elasticity

• LED therapy for healing and barrier support

• Dermal needling to improve hydration channels

• Barrier repair skincare (ceramides, lipids, HA serums)
