A Note From Dr Aleks
Skin hydration is one of the most common concerns we see at OLA Aesthetics. In Perth, our climate can present unique challenges for maintaining balanced, well-hydrated skin. Prolonged sun exposure, low humidity, and changes in temperature can all contribute to dryness and surface dehydration.
At OLA Aesthetics, we go beyond general moisturising. We want to support the skin’s barrier function and water retention through professional treatments and an appropriate skincare regimen. By addressing both environmental and individual factors, we help patients maintain proper skin hydration throughout the year.

Understanding Dehydrated Skin
While dry skin is a skin type that is related to a lack of oil, dehydration can affect any skin type, even oily skin.
Dehydrated skin is a temporary condition in which the skin lacks sufficient water in its outer layers. This can occur when the skin’s natural barrier is unable to effectively retain moisture or when external factors accelerate water loss. In Perth’s dry climate, environmental conditions like heat, wind, and low humidity can draw water from the skin, and certain lifestyle and skincare habits may further disrupt its ability to stay hydrated.
When the skin becomes dehydrated, it may respond by producing more sebum in an attempt to restore balance. This can create a surface that feels oily and congested, yet appears dull or rough.
Treatments for dehydrated skin restore the skin’s moisture balance and improve its ability to retain water. This involves reinforcing the skin barrier, supporting the natural production of humectants within the epidermis, and improving the movement of water through the different layers of skin.
