Is Your Skin Hydrated?
By mati. Filed in Skincare |Tags: skincare tips
How can you tell if your skin is hydrated? There is a very simple “pinch-test” you can do. Lightly try to pinch your skin in different areas of your face. If the skin goes back to normal in less than a second, your skin is hydrated, but if it takes 2-3 seconds for it to go back , it is dehydrated.
Often times, you’ll find that the skin on your cheeks and chin is fine, while the skin under your eyes are dehydrated.
Why does the skin under the eyes get more dehydrated than the rest of the facial skin? It is because there are almost no sebaceous glands under the eyes, so there is basically no oily barrier to stop evaporation of water from the skin in that area.
This is why it is very important to to treat the eye area with the correct products. This area needs moisture, first of all, and also very light oils that can create a barrier that stops the evaporation of fluid.
