REPAIR
Barrier is the word of the season. In healthy
skin the top layer (epidermis) has a seal
around the cells to trap moisture, known
as a barrier function. Dryness, cold and
sensitising products wreak havoc on this
natural function, so you need products
to bolster your skin’s defences. Using or
adding a richer cream or oil into your routine
will help to nourish and nurture your skin
back to health.
