Skin Barrier Health

Find out whether your skin barrier is damaged and if so, ways to help reset and renourish your skin. Below is an extract from of our informative skincare guide:

“Our skin barrier helps to keep the outer layers of the skin together, creating a watertight seal from the external environment.   

A healthy skin barrier: skin feels soft and supple.   

A damaged skin barrier: skin may feel dry, rough and easily irritated.      

What happens when the skin barrier is damaged?  

When damaged it causes water loss from the skin and leaves the skin more vulnerable to the external environment, and can cause:   

Sensitivity    

Irritation    

Itchiness    

Very dry skin    

Inflammation   

Tips on ways to help prevent your skin barrier being damaged…”
