Your skin barrier is like a shield that protects your skin from dryness, irritation, and germs. When it gets weak, your skin can feel sensitive and dry. Here’s how to know if your barrier needs help and what to do about it.
Signs your skin barrier is damaged
-
Your skin feels itchy, red, or irritated.
-
It stings when you apply skincare.

You’re breaking out more than usual.
How to fix it
-
Keep it simple – Avoid too many products or strong treatments.

Use gentle skincare – Look for soothing and hydrating ingredients.
-
Apply sunscreen daily – The sun can make damage worse.
When your skin barrier is healthy, your skin looks and feels better. Be kind to it!
