Skin that feels tight.
A less radiant complexion.
A feeling of discomfort after cleansing.
These signs are often associated with dry skin. Yet they often point to another reality: dehydrated skin.
Contrary to popular belief, dehydration does not only affect dry skin. All skin types can lack water, whether normal, combination or oily.
Hydration and nourishment: two different needs
Skin needs water to maintain its suppleness, comfort and radiance.
It also needs lipids to strengthen its protective barrier.
Dry skin primarily lacks lipids.
Dehydrated skin primarily lacks water.
This distinction is essential, as it helps you choose skincare suited to your needs.
Why does skin become dehydrated?
Every day, skin is exposed to numerous aggressors.
Wind.
Cold.
Sun.
Air conditioning.
Heating.
Pollution.
Water that is too hard.
Or overly harsh cleansers.
All these factors can disrupt the skin's natural balance and encourage gradual water loss.
Ageing also contributes to this phenomenon. Over time, skin retains water less easily and its protective function becomes more fragile.
How can you preserve your skin's hydration?
The first step is to cleanse the skin gently.
Gentle cleansing removes impurities without unnecessarily affecting the hydrolipidic film.
Next comes the application of suitable skincare.
Hydrating ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid and plant-based glycerine, help attract and retain water in the skin's superficial layers.
Plant oils, meanwhile, help preserve skin comfort by limiting the evaporation of this water.
Combining these two approaches naturally supports the skin's balance.
Hydration that lasts
Hydrating your skin is not about compensating for a temporary deficiency.
It is a daily gesture that supports its natural function.
At SHAYKO, we develop skincare designed to respect this balance, with pleasant textures and formulations that prioritise ingredient quality.
Because comfortable skin is skin that functions harmoniously.
And when it regains its balance, it naturally reveals its radiance.
“Radiant skin is not simply nourished skin. Above all, it is skin that naturally maintains its water balance.”
