Restore your Skin Barrier!

What are the causes of a damaged barrier? 1. TOO MUCH OF PHYSICAL EXFOLIATION - for eg: using harsh face brushes and scrubs. 2. EXCESSIVE USE OF ACTIVES - like salicylic acid, glycolic acid etc. 3. OVER USING of ACNE products - such as Benzoyl peroxide & Retinoids. Others: UV rays, pollution, stress, frequent face washing, using harsh cleansers that strip off natural oils and smoking. Remember: Too much of anything isn't good. Avoid all extremes. How to treat? ✔️ STOP ALL PRODUCTS that are further drying & irritating your skin! ✔️ Next, look for products rich in CERAMIDES. This ingredient is what will help you to repair your barrier. ✔️ Products containing Hyaluronic Acid also helps in such cases. ✔️ Finally, you need Emollients to help lock in everything to prevent transepidermal water loss.
