A healthy skin barrier is one of the key factor to maintain good skin, it is crucial for maintaining overall skin health and appearance. In fact, our skin barrier works as protective shield against external stressors. It keeps harmful elements at bay while retaining essential moisture. 

Unfortunately, our skin barrier is susceptible to damage. When compromised, it can lead to dryness, a higher risk of infections, premature aging, impaired healing, uneven skin tone, sensitivity, and can even worsen existing skin conditions. That's why identifying the culprits is the first step toward restoring your skin's vitality.

Common Reasons for Skin Barrier Damage

1. Over-Cleansing  

If you wash your face more than twice a day and often wash your face too much with a cleanser, then, you are harming your skin. Unfortunately,  excessive cleansing can strip the skin of its natural oils, weakening the skin protective barrier which can damage skin barrier. 

2.Harsh weather conditions 

Extreme weather conditions, be it harsh sunlight or cold winds, can compromise the skin barrier even taking a shower using very hot water isn't good for your skin either. 

3. Ageing 

 This is a reality of life we can't avoid, as we age, our skin's ability to retain moisture and collagen lessens. But we can somehow lessen the negative effect of aging in our skin if we take good care of it properly. 

4. Poor Nutrition

Unhealthy diet and improper nutrition can contribute to the skin's inability to regenerate. That's why nutrition is always important as it's connected to skin restoration.  So, protect your skin from the inside out. 

5. Using harsh skincare products and skipping sunscreen 

Harsh skincare can do more harm than good to your skin. And if you think not using sun protection won't have any effect, think again. Most of the signs of early skin aging is due to our exposure to UV rays.

6. Unhealthy lifestyle 

Sleeping deprivation, smoking, drinking, and other unhealthy factors can also lead to skin barrier damaged.
