What Is the Skin Barrier and Why Does It Matter?

What Is the Skin Barrier and Why Does It Matter?

The skin barrier is the structure found in the outermost layer of the skin that serves a protective role against external factors. This layer helps the skin maintain its moisture balance and resist external influences.

A healthy skin barrier can contribute to a more balanced and vital appearance. When the barrier is weakened, signs such as dryness, sensitivity or imbalance may be observed.

To support the skin barrier, a gentle cleansing routine, regular moisturising and product choices suited to the skin's needs are important. A personal assessment can be helpful in building a care plan suited to your skin type.
