Trockenheitsfältchen und Spannungsggefühle weisen auf eine feuchtigkeitsarme Haut hin. Fettarme Haut dagegen bildet leicht Schüppchen und juckt oft.

Obwohl \"defatted\" oft im Zusammenhang mit Exzemen gefunden wird, ist \"dry and dehydrated\" wohl eher geläufig, siehe

Dry skin might be an inherited trait (i.e., genetic) or it might be brought on by different irritants (e.g., by exposing the skin to harsh detergents). If the skin remains without enough oils for a prolonged time, the problem can become more serious and more difficult to treat. Healthy skin acts as an effective external barrier for the body, but dry skin is weakened and can allow water loss to occur, leading to dehydration. It can also be aggravated by the outside elements such as the wind, pollution, and the sun. To learn how best to treat your dry skin, talk to your healthcare professional.

Dehydrated skin has less water. This can occur through moisture evaporation through the skin, through exposure to the outside environment (e.g., wind), and through prolonged exposure to water (e.g., long showers). For further information on caring for and avoiding dehydrated skin, read the other subtopics of this health feature or talk to your healthcare professional.

dry and dehydrated skin

dehydrated skin is not fettarm, but lacking moisture. But the combination of dry and dehydrated skin is quite common, and should cover trocken und fettarm. Dehydrated and dry just doesn't sound the same.
