Dry skin is a condition where glands are unable to produce the naturally occurring oils, while a dehydrated is skin lacks water content, not oil. A dehydrated skin might not always be rough in texture but it would rather lack flexibility. Symptoms such as, increase in the itchiness in the skin; under-eye circles and puffiness; your skin tone appears to be dull or wrinkles and fine lines have become distinguished- indicates that your skin is immensely dehydrated. Although personal hygiene includes washing of hands and Vitamin D too is important for other health benefits.
