Not Sure How Healthy Your Skin Barrier Is?
The skin barrier is the outermost layer of your skin, mainly made up of skin cells, lipids (fats), and natural moisturizing factors. Think of it as your skin’s protective shield.
If you're experiencing:
• Dryness or tightness
• Redness or sensitivity
• Rough or flaky texture
• Products suddenly causing irritation
…it may be time to give your skin barrier some attention.
Common causes include over-exfoliating, harsh cleansers, too many active ingredients, excessive retinol use, environmental conditions, and over-treating the skin.
