The skin barrier, ormoisture barrier, is mainly composed of three lipids: ceramides, cholesterol, and free (AKA essential) fatty acids. These lipids work together to prevent water loss and to protect your skin from the environment.

When your skin barrier isnโt functioning properly, you may be more prone to developing the following skin symptoms and conditions:
โญdry, scaly skin
โญitchiness
โญrough or discolored patches
โญacne
โญsensitive or inflamed areas
โญbacterial, viral, or fungal skin infections
๐๐The good news is that you can repair your skin barrier, no matter how much damage has been done. Of course, if the skin barrier has been damaged or compromised for a long time, it will also take a longer time to heal.Ideally, with consistent care, your skin barrier should restore itself within two to four weeks.
