Many factors could lead to a damaged skin barrier, including environmental factors, over-exfoliating, medications, sun damage, harsh chemicals, and even ageing. From childhood, your skin barrier contains 70% water; this depletes as you grow older. A compromised skin barrier increases water loss, leading to dry, dehydrated skin and premature ageing.
Signs your barrier is compromised:
- Skin redness
- Dryness/itchiness
- Increased breakouts
- Rashes or Eczema
- Dullness
If your skin barrier is damaged, it’s highly recommended you use our Collagen Hydrating Face Mask Intensive regime. Used three times a week for two weeks, this ultimate support system works to improve hydration levels.
