Beyond Sensitivity: Demystifying Skin Troubles – The Real Story Behind Compromised Barriers and Your Skin's Health!
Do you feel like everything irritates your skin? Does it always feel like there is heat radiating from it?
Did you know that you may NOT be a sensitive skin type but that your barrier is most likely compromised? And, guess what! WE CAN FIX THAT!
When a person's skin has a compromised barrier, it means that the outermost layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum, is not functioning properly. The skin barrier plays a crucial role in protecting the body from external irritants, allergens, and pathogens, as well as preventing loss of moisture. When this barrier is compromised, several issues can arise:
Increased Sensitivity: A compromised skin barrier can lead to increased sensitivity, making the skin more prone to irritation and inflammation.
Dryness and Dehydration: The skin barrier helps to retain moisture. When it is compromised, the skin may lose water more easily, leading to dryness and dehydration.
Inflammation and Redness: Irritants, allergens, and bacteria can penetrate the skin more easily when the barrier is compromised, leading to inflammation and redness.
Itching: A compromised skin barrier can result in increased itching due to heightened sensitivity and dryness.
So, now what can we do to fix that? First, we have to bring everything back to homeostasis and nourish the skin with active ingredients that will support your skin immune system to accelerate healing.
