The skin's barrier function is one of, if not the most important part of a healthy functioning skin.
The barrier is crucial to preventing dehydration, protecting skin from outside stressors and preventing many skin concerns (eg.: premature ageing, acne, redness & sensitivity).
When the skin barrier is not functioning correctly it can lead to many skin problems and what we called an impaired barrier.

How can we look after the skin barrier?
We can look at the causes and make sure we address the ones we have control over.

Moisturising isĀ essential in keeping the barrier protected, hydrated, to stop premature ageing, sensitivity, and breakouts.
