Understanding it

Dehydration describes a lack of water in the skin and can affect a range of skin types. Tightness, temporary fine lines or a less supple appearance can have several possible causes.

Darling's approach

The practitioner reviews products, sensitivity and recent procedures before suggesting gentle barrier support, a facial or another suitable skin-quality pathway.

Possible influences

  • Over-cleansing or unsuitable active products
  • A compromised skin barrier
  • Individual health, lifestyle and skin factors
