Understanding The Skin Barrier

Your skin barrier is the outermost layer of your skin. Think of it as a security guard for your skin. It plays a crucial role in keeping your skin healthy by retaining moisture and shielding it from harmful elements like bacteria, pollutants, and irritants. It is often referred to as the key to healthy skin

In scientific terms, the skin barrier consists of corneocytes (skin cells) and lipids, which act like bricks and mortar. When your skin barrier is intact, these elements are tightly arranged, preventing external irritants from penetrating the skin and reducing water loss, a condition known as Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL).

Signs of a damaged Skin Barrier

It is easy to identify a damaged skin barrier - your skin will let you know. Uncomfortable sensations like redness, itching, tightness or stinging when applying a product are obvious signs of trouble.

Overuse of products or using those with harsh ingredients can be culprits in damaging your skin barrier. In fact, various internal and external factors can affect your skin's barrier function, so it is crucial to be mindful of your skincare choices.

Protecting and Strengthening Your Skin Barrier

Prevention is always better than cure, and building a robust skin barrier is no exception.

By strengthening your skin's barrier, you not only improve the long-term appearance of your skin but also enhance its resilience. Nina recommends incorporating specific moisture-boosting ingredients into your skincare routine, such as ceramides, niacinamide, panthenol and free fatty acids. These ingredients help replenish and preserve the skin, activate its natural defence mechanisms, and enhance hydration in the stratum corneum.

This, in turn, reduces dehydration, skin roughness, and the risk of microorganisms penetrating the skin, all contributing to healthier skin.

How Skin Virtue can help

Skin Virtue takes a three-step approach to skincare: rebuilding and nourishing the skin barrier, customising therapy for specific skin issues, and ensuring skin cell longevity.

This ensures that your skin remains healthy, vibrant and beautiful over time.
