Your skin barrier is your first line of defense. A compromised barrier leads to dryness, redness, breakouts, and premature aging.
What weakens the barrier: over-exfoliation, harsh cleansers, environmental stress, pollution.
How to repair it:
Use ceramide-rich moisturizers to restore lipid balance. Incorporate barrier-supporting ingredients like ceramide, hyaluronic acid, cholesterol, phytosterols, and niacinamide. Avoid products with excessive alcohol or sulfates.
Daily routine: Hydrating cleanser → Hydrating Essence Toner → Ceramide Lipid Barrier Cream → SPF in the morning.
