If you have ever experienced dry, cracked, or irritated skin, you know how uncomfortable it can be. These symptoms can be signs of a damaged skin barrier, which is the outermost layer of your skin that protects it from environmental stressors, such as pollution and UV rays.

Luckily, there are several ways to improve your skin barrier and maintain healthy, hydrated skin. Today we'll discuss six ways to improve your skin barrier :

The first step in protecting your skin barrier is to avoid using harsh soaps and detergents. These products can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and susceptible to damage. Instead, opt for gentle, fragrance-free cleansers that are designed for sensitive skin.

Moisturizing is essential for maintaining healthy skin. By applying a moisturizer regularly, you can help to lock in moisture and prevent water loss, which can lead to dry, flaky skin. Look for moisturizers that contain ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid, which can help to repair and hydrate your skin barrier.

UV rays from the sun can cause significant damage to your skin, including a weakened skin barrier. That's why it's essential to protect your skin by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Apply it every day, even when it's cloudy outside.

Eating a healthy diet is another way to promote healthy skin. Foods that are rich in antioxidants, such as fruits and vegetables, can help to protect your skin from damage and promote cell turnover, which can lead to a stronger skin barrier.

Drinking plenty of water is essential for maintaining healthy, hydrated skin. When your body is dehydrated, your skin can become dry and flaky, which can weaken your skin barrier. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water a day to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.

Last but not least, using a high-quality barrier repair cream such as our Barrier Repair Antibacterial Cream can help to repair and strengthen your skin barrier. This cream is specifically formulated to hydrate and protect your skin. Its antibacterial properties make it ideal for use on hands, which are often exposed to germs and other harmful substances.
