Restore balance: healing the skin barrier

When the skin barrier is compromised, it loses its ability to protect itself and retain vital moisture and nutrition. This leaves the skin dehydrated, out of balance, and prone to irritation and sensitivity. Common signs include fine lines, redness, flaking, and an erratic sebum production. In an attempt to repair itself, the skin often overproduces oil, leading to a complexion that feels uncomfortably dry yet looks oily on the surface.

This imbalance is often caused by over-exfoliation, high-pH cleansers that strip the skin, sun damage, or harsh weather conditions like extreme cold and wind.

Our tips for recovery: to support the skin’s natural healing process, focus on consistent hydration with gentle, lightweight formulas. Essences and serums that stimulate cell renewal are ideal for rebuilding the barrier without causing further stress. For best results, try layering your hydration by pairing a soothing emulsion with a moisturizing gel-cream.
