Find Your KÜR - Dehydration

Dehydration

Dehydration is the annoying skin issue that makes your complexion look dull and lackluster. Essentially, dehydrated skin means your skin is lacking water, even if it's producing enough oil. It’s different from dry skin (when your skin doesn’t produce enough oil) and it's more common than you think.

There are a few different types of dehydration, but the most common are caused by external factors like air conditioning, central heating, harsh weather conditions, and caffeine (yes that double shot latte is drying out your skin) Dehydration can also be a result of not drinking enough water, which can happen to the best of us.
