Skin Barrier: What is it and How Can You Protect It? | Choicy Beauty- a beauty training academic
When it comes to protecting the skin from UV rays, pollution, and other environmental stressors, your skin barrier plays a vital role. With a healthy and normal one, the skin is smooth and looks plump, with no redness and inflammation. When the barrier is damaged, however, you`ll notice dryness, dullness, sensitivity, and breakouts.
If your skin barrier is damaged, you may be more susceptible to developing the following skin conditions and symptoms:
1. Dry or dull skin
Here are a few tips that can help.
2. Less is more also applies to handling your skin.
You need to treat it delicately, not rubbing the skin excessively or putting too much pressure when applying products. You should also mind your habits and avoid over-washing and over-exfoliation, as well as wearing too many layers of makeup daily.
Too much UV exposure can damage the skin, make you prone to skin aging, and worsen the look of other skin conditions. This only makes it important to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, 20 to 30 minutes before going out. Make sure to apply sun protection even when it`s cloudy or rainy.
4. Keep your skin moisturized
This is important in maintaining your skin barrier, as moisturizing reduces your chances of having extremely oily or dry skin. Even if you have oily skin, moisturizer should be a part of your daily skincare. Just be sure to use the right amount and choose a formula that is right for your skin type.
5. Balance your skin pH
The skin`s pH is slightly acidic, sitting between 4.7 and 5.75. Some Skin care products, however, have a pH of below 3 or even higher than 8. These can damage the skin and disturb the skin`s acid mantle, or the barrier that helps maintain the skin`s slight acidity and keeps the optimal environment for the skin`s natural flora to thrive.
