Skin Barrier Repair

What is the skin barrier?

The skin barrier is the outermost layer of the skin. It helps retain moisture while protecting skin from everyday environmental stress. When it becomes compromised, skin may feel dry, tight, flaky or more sensitive than usual.

How to build a barrier-supporting routine

Begin with a short, consistent routine. Choose a gentle cleanser, a hydrating or soothing serum, a nourishing moisturiser and daily SPF. Ingredients such as ceramides, lipids, panthenol and centella can be helpful when included in formulas designed to support skin comfort.

Avoid introducing several strong active products at once. If exfoliants or retinoids suddenly feel uncomfortable, consider reducing their frequency while focusing on a gentler routine.
