Dry skin lacks oil, while dehydrated skin lacks water. This distinction is crucial because even oily skin can be dehydrated. When skin loses moisture faster than it can replenish it, it triggers excess sebum production, creating a misleading combination of shine and tightness that is often mistaken for combination skin.
How it manifests
- •Skin feels tight and uncomfortable after washing
- •Fine lines that look deeper in the morning but smooth out during the day
- •A dull, tired complexion lacking luminosity
- •T-zone shine accompanied by a feeling of dryness
Common causes
- •Dry indoor air, heating, and air conditioning
- •Over-exfoliation and overly aggressive cleansing
- •A compromised skin barrier that cannot retain moisture
- •Insufficient water intake, alcohol, and excessive caffeine
Our salon treatment
Intensive Marine Peptide Hydration and Lifting Treatment
We infuse deep layers of the skin with moisture and lock it in to prevent the skin from reverting to its previous dehydrated state.
- 1
Skin barrier assessment
We determine whether your skin is dry, dehydrated, or both. Our approach and product selection are tailored accordingly.
- 2
Gentle non-surfactant cleansing
We remove impurities without stripping away your natural protective lipid film.
- 3
Hyaluronic acid layering
We apply multiple layers of hyaluronic acid with varying molecular weights to damp skin, ensuring hydration reaches different depths.
- 4
Massage and lymphatic drainage
Manual techniques stimulate microcirculation, reduce puffiness, and enhance the absorption of active ingredients.
- 5
Occlusive sealing
We seal the moisture in using a mask and marine lipid balm, a crucial step often missing from home routines.
- 6
Routine optimization
We review your home care products and eliminate those causing dryness, often identifying products you previously thought were harmless.

Every skin reacts differently. During the diagnosis we pinpoint the exact cause of your problem (dehydrated skin) and compose the treatment for your skin, not from a one-size-fits-all protocol.

What to expect
- •Immediately: firmer, smoother, and radiant skin with improved make-up application
- •Two to three days: skin feels comfortable with no sensation of tightness
- •Effect lasts one to two weeks after a single treatment
- •With monthly consistency: the barrier repairs and the skin condition stabilizes long term
Home care tips
- •Always apply hyaluronic acid serum to damp, not dry, skin
- •Follow with a moisturizing cream to lock in water, otherwise it will evaporate
- •Exfoliate a maximum of twice per week
- •Wash with lukewarm water, as hot water breaks down the skin barrier
