Any of these sound familiar? You may have a damaged skin barrier. The skin’s moisture barrier is part of what’s known as the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis and its job is to keep damaging elements out and balanced hydration in. The most common reasons for a compromised skin barrier and sensitized skin are over-exfoliation, using harsh products, exposing skin to hot or cold water, and environmental exposure. 🫧Does this sound familiar?🫧 Luckily you can repair your skin's barrier by treating your skin gently (scale back your exfoliation routine,) protect your skin from environmental damage (SPF!) and look for products with ceramides and omega fatty acids to replenish your skin. And of course, our wonderful aestheticians can analyze your skin and curate a routine based on your skincare concerns and goals!
