WHAT IS YOUR SKIN BARRIER?
Our skin is comprised of lots of different layers, and your skin barrier is the outermost of them all. A healthy skin barrier seels in the good stuff like natural oils, hydration, and moisture and on the other hand it´s keeping bad things out like irritants in the environment.
WHAT CAUSES A DAMAGED SKIN BARRIER?
