Compromised Barrier

Understanding a Compromised Skin Barrier: Signs, Causes, and Solutions

Compromised  Barrier

The skin barrier, or moisture barrier, is the outermost layer of the skin that protects against environmental stressors, bacteria, and moisture loss. When compromised, this protective layer becomes weakened, leading to increased sensitivity, irritation, and dehydration. A damaged barrier can result from over-exfoliation, harsh skincare products, environmental aggressors, or underlying skin conditions. Strengthening and repairing the barrier is essential for healthy, resilient skin.

Main Identifiers of a Compromised Skin Barrier:

Increased sensitivity, redness, and irritation
Dryness, flaking, or tightness
Burning or stinging sensation when applying skincare products
Increased breakouts or inflammation
Skin that appears dull, rough, or dehydrated
More pronounced reactions to environmental factors like wind, cold, or pollution


Solutions:

A compromised skin barrier requires gentle, nourishing care to restore its function. Working with a professional allows you access to professional advice and guidance towards rapid results.
