What is the skin barrier, and why is it important to repair it.
The skin barrier is the essential gatekeeper of our bodies. It’s like the sweet security guard, who with a gentle smile stops all potential intruders from entering. When this precious guard isn’t taken care of, we become vulnerable to environmental damage and other skin mishaps. When your skin barrier is damaged, it can cause dryness, irritation or sensitivity and leave you more prone to further damage from external factors. Without proper protection and care, the weakened barrier can also lead to an increase in wrinkles, sagging skin and even infections. That’s why it’s so important to repair it as often as you can and keep it in top form!
