You should know that every skin type needs hydration and the concept that only dry skin should be hydrated is wrong. Even extremely oily skin can be dehydrated, as hydration has nothing to do with fat. Regardless of your skin type, your cells may be dehydrated and this makes the skin look lifeless and not aesthetically pleasing. However it often happens that we confuse dry skin with dehydrated one thus making us use the wrong products and making the condition worse.
