What Is Skin Barrier and Why Is It Important?

You might have heard the term skin barrier while scrolling through skincare content. But what exactly is it, and why should we care so much about it?

What Is Skin Barrier?

The skin barrier is the outermost layer of your skin (stratum corneum), which acts as a protective shield against external threats like pollution, bacteria, and moisture loss.

Why It Matters

A healthy skin barrier keeps your skin hydrated, smooth, and calm. A damaged one can cause dryness, redness, sensitivity, and breakouts.

Signs of a Damaged Skin Barrier:

• Flaky, tight, and dry skin

• Redness and stinging

• Sudden sensitivity to regular skincare

• Unusual breakouts

  
  

How to Care for and Repair Your Skin Barrier:

1. Use gentle cleansers.

   Try the Cleansing Mud Mask, enriched with Montmorillonite and Sodium Hyaluronate, to purify without over-drying.

2. Apply calming toners.

   The Rose Extraction Balancing Toner contains Chlorella Extract and Sodium Hyaluronate to hydrate and rebalance the skin.

3. Opt for lightweight moisturizers.

   The Exquisitely Tender Soothing Emulsion with Yogurt Extract and Sodium Hyaluronate soothes and hydrates without clogging pores.

4. Don’t skip moisturizing sunscreen.

   Moisturizing Sun Protect CC Cream includes Squalane and Tea Extract to protect from UV and maintain hydration.

5. Use weekly recovery masks.

   Try the Apple Skin Revitalizing Mask, formulated with Acetyl Hexapeptide to improve elasticity and texture.
