Understanding skin barrier function

An overview of the skin barrier and its role in everyday skin health.

The skin barrier is the outermost layer of the skin and plays a primary role in protecting the body from external factors and regulating moisture.

When the barrier is supported by appropriate skincare, sleep, hydration and sun protection, the skin is generally more comfortable and resilient.

A consultation can help identify whether your current skincare and habits are supporting the barrier or working against it.
