Dry Skin
Dry skin is often linked with reduced oil or lipid support in the skin barrier. It may feel rough, flaky or uncomfortable, especially after cleansing or weather changes.
Skin Concern
Dryness & Dehydration. Restore Comfort, Radiance and Resilience.
Dry or dehydrated skin can feel tight, rough, dull or reactive. We take a measured approach: supporting the skin barrier, improving hydration and selecting treatments that suit your skin's tolerance and goals.
A skin assessment is recommended to confirm the most appropriate approach. Results vary between individuals. Skin sensitivity, medication use and barrier condition may affect suitability.

Understanding the Concern
Dry Skin vs Dehydrated Skin.
Dehydrated Skin
Dehydrated skin lacks water, not necessarily oil. It can feel tight, look dull, show fine creasing and still become shiny or congested in some areas.
Barrier Stress
When the barrier is stressed, the skin may lose moisture more easily and become more reactive. A measured plan helps rebuild comfort without overwhelming the skin.

Home Care
Supporting Your Results At Home.
Rebuild the barrier slowly
Dry or dehydrated skin often responds best to consistency. Gentle cleansing, barrier support and daily SPF are usually more useful than adding too many active products at once.
Avoid over-exfoliation
Strong acids, retinoids or frequent exfoliation can worsen tightness and reactivity if the barrier is already stressed. Your practitioner can help sequence active skincare safely.
Maintain clinic results
Hydration and barrier-focused treatments usually work best as part of an ongoing plan. Treatment intervals and home care should be adjusted to your skin response.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?
Dry skin usually lacks oil or lipid support, while dehydrated skin lacks water. Some clients experience both, which is why assessment is important before choosing a treatment pathway.
Can oily skin still be dehydrated?
Yes. Oily skin can still feel tight, dull or reactive when it lacks water or has a stressed barrier. The goal is to support balance rather than strip away oil.
Which treatment should I start with?
Many clients begin with a Medical Grade Facial or skin assessment to understand barrier status. If deeper skin quality support is appropriate, your practitioner may discuss REJURAN or Skin Quality & Hydration pathways.
Is REJURAN a hydration treatment?
REJURAN is not simply a moisturising treatment. It may be considered for broader skin quality, resilience and regenerative support where suitability is confirmed at consultation.
How does Skin Quality & Hydration differ from a facial?
Medical Grade Facials are topical and protocol-led. Skin Quality & Hydration is a consultation-led treatment pathway focused on hydration, elasticity and skin quality from within the treatment plan.
Is there downtime?
Medical Grade Facials usually have no downtime for most clients. REJURAN and Skin Quality & Hydration pathways may involve temporary redness, swelling or pinpoint marks depending on the method used. Individual responses vary.
Can I combine these treatments?
Yes, some clients benefit from a staged plan combining facial protocols with deeper skin quality support. Your practitioner will advise on the most appropriate sequence at consultation.
