The skin barrier, sometimes referred to as the moisture barrier, is our body's built-in armor. It protects us from outside aggressors, like free radicals, toxins, and infections, while helping prevent moisture loss to keep our skin hydrated and healthy. Within our range, we have skin barrier repair products in the form of moisturizers, serums, cleansers, eye creams, exfoliators, and more by professional and luxury brands like Eminence Organic Skin Care, Allies of Skin, and 111SKIN.
While our skin barrier is remarkably resilient, it's not invincible. As it's the outermost layer of the skin, it can become damaged through over-exfoliation, harsh ingredients, and environmental stressors—like prolonged water exposure, extreme weather, or too much sun. This causes the skin to feel dry or irritated. It can also make skin more sensitive.
When the skin barrier is compromised, your skin often lets you know. Some signs of a damaged barrier include increased skin reactivity, like stinging, redness, dryness, itchiness, or flakiness. You may also experience unexpected breakouts or even a skin infection. Discover specially formulated products to help repair the skin barrier and give it the TLC it deserves, as well as those designed to help you maintain optimum barrier health. A good barrier-strengthening routine can make a difference—and a lot of this comes down to choosing the right products and ingredients. To strengthen or repair your skin barrier, look for ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, probiotics, oat beta-glucan, and glycerin.
