Addressing Dehydrated Skin: Your Guide to Glowing, Youthful Skin in Denver

Hey beautiful! Let’s talk about something that’s all too real during our sunny Colorado summers—dehydrated skin. If you’ve been noticing your skin looking dull, feeling tight, or just off, I promise you, you are not alone.

So many of my clients—busy, hardworking women like you who juggle work, kids, outdoor activities, and self-care—come into my Lone Tree studio feeling frustrated. You’re doing your best, drinking water, trying different products, but still… the glow just isn’t there.

The good news? We can fix this—together. I’m Jessica, your go-to esthetician here in South Denver, and I’m going to walk you through everything you need to know about dehydrated skin and how to get that plump, healthy, radiant glow back.

Let’s Clear This Up: Dehydrated Skin vs. Dry Skin

First, let’s get clear on what we’re dealing with. Dehydrated skin is not the same as dry skin (even though they can feel similar).

  • Dehydrated skin lacks water. It can affect any skin type—even oily or acne-prone skin—and often shows up as tightness, dullness, sensitivity, and even breakouts.

  • Dry skin lacks oil. That’s more of a skin type, not a condition.

Here in Colorado, with our dry air, sunshine, and active outdoor lifestyles, dehydrated skin is incredibly common—especially in summer when sun, wind, travel, and sweat mess with our skin’s balance.

Why Dehydrated Skin is a Bigger Deal Than You Think

It’s not just about looking good (although yes, glowing skin is the goal!). Dehydrated skin is uncomfortable, and it can fast-track issues like:

  • Premature aging

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Breakouts

  • Uneven texture or roughness

When your skin is lacking water, its barrier becomes weak—meaning it’s more sensitive, less resilient, and just not as healthy. Think of it like a sponge that’s dried out. It cracks, it crumbles, and it doesn’t bounce back. That’s why hydration is everything.

How I Help My Clients Beat Dehydrated Skin

You’re busy, I get it. You don’t want to waste time (or money) on skincare that doesn’t deliver. That’s where I come in. At Pure Excellence Esthetics in Lone Tree, I focus on treatments and products that actually work—because you deserve real results.

Here’s what I use to treat dehydrated skin:

1. Hydrating Facials

These are one of my most requested treatments—and for good reason. My hydrating facials are customized to your skin’s unique needs. They’re packed with medical grade ingredients that deeply nourish and restore moisture. You’ll walk out feeling relaxed, refreshed, and glowing.

2. Dermaplaning

Don’t let the name scare you—it’s a gentle, relaxing treatment that removes dead skin and peach fuzz. Why do I love it? Because it lets all those beautiful serums sink in better and leaves your skin smooth as glass.

3. Glowing Enzymes & Exfoliation

Say goodbye to dull, tired-looking skin. Enzyme treatments gently dissolve buildup while boosting hydration and glow. Plus, deeper exfoliation (done safely) reveals that fresh, vibrant layer underneath.

4. Hydrojelly Masks

You’ve probably seen these on Instagram—they look fun, but they’re also powerful. Cooling, hydrating, and totally customizable, Hydrojelly Masks leave your skin calm, plump, and silky soft.

Treatments That Are Summer-Safe

One of the most common questions I hear is: Can I do this in the summer? YES! These treatments are perfect for warmer weather.

All of the services I offer—facials, dermaplaning, enzymes, and Hydrojelly masks—are non-invasive, hydrating, and completely safe for summer. I always tailor each service to fit your skin’s current condition and help you stay glowing and protected in the sun.

My Favorite At-Home Products (That You Can Grab In-Studio!)

Here’s the truth: what you do at home matters just as much as what we do in the studio. That’s why I only carry products I know work—especially in our dry Colorado climate.

Here are a few of my top picks:

Hydrinity Restorative & Renewing HA Serum

These are my holy grail hydration products. With advanced hyaluronic acid and peptides, it dives deep to hydrate and rebuild your skin barrier.

Image Skincare Vital C Serum

Packed with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, this brightens, protects, and hydrates your skin all in one step. Great for post-sun exposure.

Lira Clinical Mystiq Cleanser

A luxurious oil-based cleanser that hydrates while gently removing makeup and impurities. Great for sensitive or dry skin.

Image Skincare Bio Peptide Cream

This is a moisture-rich, anti-aging powerhouse. It firms, hydrates, and smooths—perfect for nighttime repair.

Enzymes & Gentle Exfoliators

I stock enzyme-based masks and exfoliators that help keep your skin fresh between appointments—without the harshness.

You can grab all of these in-studio at your next appointment, and I’ll help you choose what’s right for your unique skin type.

Why June Is the Perfect Time to Focus on Acne

Did you know June is National Acne Awareness Month? If you’re one of the millions dealing with breakouts or lingering acne scars, this is your sign to stop scrolling through influencer skincare routines and finally get real answers from a trusted professional. At Pure Excellence Esthetics in Lone Tree, Colorado, we specialize in helping women in their 20s get the clear, glowing skin they’ve been dreaming of—without the overwhelm or the guesswork.

Acne is more than a surface-level issue. It affects your confidence, your mood, and your lifestyle. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Understanding Acne: It’s Not Just a Teen Thing

Many women in their 20s are surprised to find themselves still battling acne. Adult acne is incredibly common and often caused by a combination of stress, hormones, diet, environmental toxins, and the wrong skincare products.

Common Causes of Adult Acne:

  • Hormonal fluctuations (birth control, stress, menstrual cycle)

  • Poor product choices or overuse of actives

  • Inflammation and bacteria trapped in pores

  • Lifestyle factors (diet, lack of sleep, stress)

At Pure Excellence Esthetics, we take a holistic, personalized approach to acne. No cookie-cutter treatments—just customized solutions for long-term results.

Acne Scarring: The Aftermath You Don’t Have to Live With

Breakouts can be frustrating, but what’s worse? The scarring they leave behind. Whether you’re dealing with pitted scarring, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), or uneven texture, our advanced treatments can dramatically improve the appearance of your skin over time.

Types of Acne Scarring We Treat:

  • Rolling scars

  • Ice pick scars

  • Boxcar scars

  • Hyperpigmentation (dark marks)

These scars can deeply impact self-esteem, but with the right treatments, they don’t have to be permanent.

Our Proven Acne Solutions

We don’t believe in harsh prescriptions or a 20-step product routine. Instead, we focus on evidence-based, skin-repairing treatments that actually work.

1. Chemical Peels

Chemical peels gently exfoliate the outer layers of the skin to remove dead cells, unclog pores, and fade dark spots. When done correctly and consistently, they help regulate oil production, brighten the skin, and improve overall texture.

We customize our chemical peels using professional-grade solutions from Lira Clinical’s brightening line, which is packed with botanical lighteners and exfoliants to treat discoloration without damaging the skin barrier.

2. Microneedling

Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for acne scarring. By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, it stimulates collagen production and helps to repair scar tissue from the inside out.

We pair this treatment with Hydrinity’s Hyacin Active Spray—a hydrating, skin-repairing mist that promotes healing and reduces inflammation post-treatment.

3. Acne Facials + LED Light Therapy

Our customized acne facials include deep cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, and a soothing mask to calm inflamed skin. We finish with LED light therapy, which targets acne-causing bacteria and reduces redness.

These facials are an ideal starting point for anyone new to professional skincare or feeling overwhelmed by product options.

Products You Can Trust (And Actually See Results From)

You don’t need a million products to treat your acne—you need the right ones. We offer a curated selection of clinical-grade skincare designed to work in harmony with your treatments.

Image Skincare Acne Line

A gentle yet effective system for treating active acne. The salicylic-based cleanser and spot treatment help reduce breakouts without drying out the skin.

Lira Clinical Brightening Line

Ideal for anyone battling dark spots or acne-related hyperpigmentation. Packed with brightening botanicals and anti-inflammatory ingredients to even out skin tone and calm redness.

Hydrinity Hyacin Spray

This post-treatment hydration mist delivers immediate soothing and moisture restoration. A must-have for anyone with sensitized or recovering skin.

Why Influencers Aren’t Your Skin Experts (And That’s Okay!)

We get it—TikTok and Instagram are full of skincare “advice.” But what works for someone online may not work for your skin type, lifestyle, or climate (hello, dry Colorado air!).

As a licensed esthetician, I’ve worked with hundreds of acne-prone clients right here in South Denver, and I understand how to create targeted treatment plans that actually work for your skin.
