Dry or dehydrated skin in autumn? Learn the difference and discover a gentle hydration routine with moisturiser and rosehip seed oil.
Dry skin vs dehydrated skin: what is the difference?
Dry skin is a skin type often associated with reduced surface lipids and roughness. Dehydration is a temporary condition in which the outer skin layer lacks water, and it can affect oily skin too.
Both may cause tightness. Effective care often combines humectants with emollients.
Why does autumn make skin feel drier?
Cold air, wind, indoor heating and low humidity can increase moisture loss. Hot water and harsh cleansers may add to irritation.
A simple 5-step autumn skincare routine
1. Cleanse gently. MARUSHA Cleansing & Massage Oil with rice and oat oils can be one option.
2. Add hydration with a product such as MARUSHA Vegan Collagen Face Mist.
3. Apply MARUSHA Vegan Collagen Face Cream with niacinamide and caffeine.
4. If skin still feels dry, massage in 2–3 drops of MARUSHA CoQ10 Face Serum or Rosehip Seed Oil.
Ingredients worth looking for
Glycerin, hyaluronic acid and panthenol help attract water; niacinamide can support skin-barrier function. Squalane, shea butter and rosehip seed oil soften the skin and help reduce moisture loss.
Common mistakes to avoid
Using oil without a water-based moisturiser, over-cleansing, layering too many potentially irritating actives and skipping sunscreen can undermine your skincare routine.
