Skin barrier

The skin barrier is the outermost layer of the skin, primarily made up of dead skin cells and natural oils. Its main function is to protect the body from harmful substances, allergens, and bacteria while keeping moisture in. A healthy skin barrier maintains hydration and supports overall skin health. Factors like harsh soaps, extreme weather, and skin conditions can damage this barrier, leading to issues such as dryness, irritation, and increased sensitivity. Caring for your skin by using gentle products and moisturizers can help strengthen and restore this vital protective layer.
