Over-exfoliating? Skipping moisturizer? You’re wrecking your barrier 😬
🧠 FACT: Most skin problems start with one thing “a damaged skin barrier.”
If your skin suddenly feels dry, tight, red, or sensitive… it’s not “just how your skin is.” It’s your barrier crying for help 😬
Here’s what can quietly damage your skin barrier (and how to stop it): 👇
🚫 Over-exfoliating: Scrubs, acids, or retinols used too often can strip away your skin’s natural oils and protective layer.
🚫 Harsh cleansers: Foaming or alcohol-based formulas can cause micro-tears and irritation.
🚫 Skipping moisturizer: Even oily skin needs hydration — otherwise, your skin overproduces oil to compensate.
🚫 Too many actives at once: Mixing retinol, vitamin C, and exfoliating acids without guidance = inflammation overload.
🚫 Sun exposure without SPF: UV rays break down lipids and proteins that hold your barrier together.
🚫 Cold weather or hot showers: Both can dehydrate your skin fast, leading to flakiness and redness.
💡 Your barrier = your skin’s bodyguard.
When it’s strong, your skin stays balanced, hydrated, and resilient.
