The skin is the body’s largest organ, and the skin barrier is the “first line of defense” for healthy skin.
Warning Signs of Barrier Damage
When the skin barrier is damaged, the skin will send out distress signals: tightness and flaking after cleansing, redness under hot and cold environments, oil outside and dryness inside, difficult to absorb skincare products, and even tingling and itching. These symptoms suggest that the “walls” have cracks, harmful substances to take advantage of the opportunity to invade, accelerate the loss of water. If not repaired in time, may trigger inflammation, acne recurrence and other problems.
Scientific Repair in 3 Steps
1.Streamline your skincare: Pause on efficacious products and use repair creams containing ceramides and panthenol.
2.Gentle cleansing: choose amino acid or APG cleanser, control the water temperature at 32-35℃, and avoid friction.
3.Enhanced protection: Give priority to hard sunscreen (hats, masks) to reduce the irritation of sunscreen on the damaged barrier.
Repairing the skin barrier requires patience and usually takes 1-3 months. A healthy barrier not only gives your skin a natural glow, it is also the foundation for advanced treatments such as anti-aging and whitening. Remember: less fuss, more repair is the key to maintaining healthy skin for a long time.
