What is skin barrier repair?

Skin barrier repair involves restoring the skin’s outermost layer, which protects against moisture loss and external irritants. To repair a compromised barrier, focus on hydration and nourishment with ingredients like ceramides, niacinamide, and fatty acids. Avoid harsh chemicals or exfoliants, which can worsen damage. Incorporating a gentle, hydrating routine and using sun protection can also help maintain the integrity of your skin barrier. Consistency in skincare and a balanced routine is essential for effective repair.
