When your skin feels tight, dull, or flaky, the first question is: is it dry or just dehydrated? While the two are often confused, they’re not the same — and knowing the difference can transform the way you care for your skin.
✨ Dry skin is a skin type. It lacks natural oils (sebum), leaving it rough, sensitive, or prone to irritation.
💧 Dehydrated skin is a temporary condition. It lacks water, often caused by weather, diet, or harsh skincare products.
The good news? Both can be treated with the right routine.
At shea&i, our body balms and creams are enriched with wild-harvested African butters like Shea, Baobab, and Mafura. These ingredients replenish oils and lock in hydration, giving your skin what it needs — balance, softness, and resilience.
✅ Tip: Drink enough water daily and use a moisturizer immediately after bathing to seal in hydration.
