Is Your Skin Barrier Damaged? Here’s How to Fix It

Your skin barrier is your body’s natural line of defense. It protects you from irritants, pollution, and moisture loss. But harsh products, weather, and over-exfoliating can weaken it—leading to sensitivity, breakouts, and dryness. The good news? You can repair it with the right care.

Signs Your Skin Barrier May Be Damaged:

• Constant dryness or flakiness

• Redness or tightness

• Sensitivity to products you used to love

• Irritated, inflamed skin

• Sudden increase in breakouts

  
  

What Weakens Your Skin Barrier?

• Overusing exfoliants or actives (like AHAs or retinol)

• Using too many products at once

• Weather changes—cold, dry, or windy conditions

• Harsh cleansers with sulfates or synthetic fragrance

  
  

How to Repair Your Skin Barrier (Naturally):

✅ 1. Use a Gentle, Hydrating Cleanser

Avoid anything that foams heavily or feels stripping. Instead, choose a calming formula like Radiance Carotene Face Wash, rich in Beta Carotene and Hyaluronic Acid.

✅ 2. Cut Down on Exfoliation

Take a break from acids or scrubs for at least a week. Give your skin time to recover.

✅ 3. Hydrate and Rebuild the Barrier

Use oils or moisturizers with calming and replenishing ingredients. Our Vitamin C Brightening Oil helps restore glow without irritation.

✅ 4. Keep Your Routine Minimal

Less is more. Stick to a cleanser, hydrator, and oil or moisturizer—then slowly reintroduce actives once your skin has healed.

Your glow starts with a strong foundation. Protect your skin’s barrier with gentle, clean products—and give it time to heal.
