Common conclusions
Using too many skincare products can damage and weaken your skin barrier. Try to simplify your skincare regime and only use those ones with a suitable pH.
Make sure you are not over-exfoliating your skin especially if you have a sensitive skin type. Consider using a soft cloth or gentle exfoliator to avoid damaging your skin barrier.
Try using plant oils that are rich in antioxidants and have antibacterial effects. These include argan oil, coconut oil, almond oil, and sunflower oil.
Moisturizing your skin regardless of your skin type is essential in order to prevent dryness and redness. Choose a moisturizer that has a ceramide ingredient as it helps in healing the skin barrier and strengthen its structural integrity.
Avoid using warm water or taking a hot shower often as it will destroy the skin’s surface. Keep it cool at all times and wipe your face gently by using a soft towel or just air-dry it.
Try including fresh fruits and vegetables on your diet meal to help heal the damaged skin barrier. Fruits like pomegranate, papaya, strawberries, and sweet potatoes are helpful in giving you healthy skin.
If there’s someone who knows the right procedure and process in repairing a damaged skin barrier, it would be the skin experts. Make sure you ask for skin advice and product recommendations.
Try seeking a dermatologist’s guidance regarding your damaged skin protective barrier. This is to ensure you are using the right products and prevent irritation or any harsh side effects. It will also enlighten you about what kind of product ingredients are causing damage to your kin.
