FORTIFYING<br />

SKIN BARRIER<br />

FUNCTION<br />

The skin’s barrier function (or malfunction) plays<br />

a crucial role in maintaining healthy, hydrated<br />

skin. The outermost layer of the skin, known as<br />

the stratum corneum, acts as a barrier to prevent<br />

water loss and protect against environmental<br />

stressors. When the skin’s barrier function is<br />

compromised, it can lead to dryness, sensitivity,<br />

and a whole host of other skin problems.<br />

During the cooler months, use skincare<br />

products that contain ingredients including<br />

hyaluronic acid, glycerin and ceramides, which<br />

help to lock in moisture and strengthen the skin’s<br />

barrier function.<br />

Just as you would layer your outer garments<br />

to keep warm, try layering your your products<br />

to help lock moisture into your skin and give an<br />

extra boost of hydration. Always apply serums<br />

first, then follow with your moisturiser.<br />

When applying creams and serums, massaging<br />

your skin in a light circular motion will also help<br />

to improve blood circulation to your skin and<br />

promote better penetration of active ingredients.
