Your skin barrier is your skin’s first line of defence, protecting against environmental stressors, bacteria, and moisture loss. Keeping your skin barrier healthy is key to achieving a glowing, resilient complexion.
The skin barrier (or moisture barrier) is the outermost layer of your skin, also known as the stratum corneum. It acts like a brick wall: the skin cells are the “bricks,” while the natural oils and lipids act as the “mortar” holding it all together. A healthy skin barrier locks in hydration and keeps irritants out.
These are signals that your skin barrier needs extra love and care.
1 – Gentle Cleansing
Avoid harsh cleansers that strip your skin of natural oils. A gentle option like our Powder-to-Foam Cleanser helps maintain your skin’s balance without over-drying.
2 – Hydrate and Nourish
Hydration is key to keeping your skin barrier strong. Use a hydrating serum with nourishing ingredients, like our Hydration Serum, which supports barrier health while keeping skin plump.
3 – Avoid Over-Exfoliation
Too much exfoliation can damage your barrier. Stick to gentle exfoliation once or twice a week and always follow with a moisturiser to replenish your skin.
4 – Seal It In
Moisturising is crucial to maintaining your skin barrier. A moisturiser helps seal in hydration and keeps your barrier healthy and intact. Look for a skin barrier repair cream like our Daily Moisturiser that includes plant-based ingredients to help repair and restore.
Your microbiome and skin barrier work hand in hand. A healthy microbiome supports your skin’s natural defence system, while a strong barrier provides the perfect environment for beneficial bacteria to thrive. Strengthening both ensures healthier, more resilient skin.
Your skin barrier works hard for you every day—give it the care and attention it deserves to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.
