A strong skin barrier supports healthier, more resilient skin by shielding against environmental stressors and helping retain moisture. However, various factors—including aggressive skincare routines, pollution, UV exposure, stress, and hormonal changes (such as those experienced around menopause)—may affect its function. This can lead to increased dryness, dullness, and sensitivity.
Ways to Support & Strengthen Your Skin Barrier:
✔ Incorporate hydrating ingredients such as ceramides, hyaluronic acid & glycerin into your skincare regime.
✔ Choose skincare products free from harsh exfoliants and alcohol to help maintain balance.
✔ Protect against UV & environmental damage with sun protection.
✔ Consider discussing supportive treatments such as skin boosters, collagen stimulators, microneedling, or radiofrequency with a doctor to explore options for maintaining long-term skin health.
