how to achieve a healthy skin barrier

A healthy barrier=glowing healthy skin 

What is a barrier? 

The skin has a protective layer called the barrier or the lipidic film, this protects the skin from harmful outside factors 

Why do we have broken barriers? 

Often we have broken barriers due to using products that have harsh ingredients or sometimes this is due to weather changes. A broken-down barrier followed by T.E.W.L (transepidermal water loss)is most common in the colder months. 

How to have a healthy barrier? 

  • Use a gentle milky cleanser daily 

  • Luke warm or cold water to rinse the skin 

  • Protecting the skin in extreme weather change 

  • Always making sure the skin has a good oil-to-water ratio
