Skin Barrier Support

The skin barrier protects against moisture loss, irritants, and environmental stress. When it’s weakened, skin becomes dry, sensitive, or inflamed.

Supporting it with gentle, hydrating, and barrier-repairing ingredients helps restore balance and resilience.

Protocol: Skin Barrier Support

Beauty Goals

  • Restore and strengthen the skin’s protective barrier

  • Improve moisture retention and prevent transepidermal water loss

  • Soothe and protect skin from irritants and environmental damage

  • Calm inflammation and prevent further barrier damage

Concerns Addressed

  • Dry, irritated, or cracked skin

  • Sensitivity and redness

  • Chronic conditions like eczema or rosacea

  • Dehydration and compromised skin barrier function

  • Sensitivity to skincare products

Recommended Supplements

  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids (2000–3000 mg EPA/DHA daily) – Helps rebuild the skin barrier and reduce inflammation

  • Probiotics (10–20 billion CFU daily)—Supports gut-skin connection and reduces inflammation

  • Vitamin D3 (2000–5000 IU daily) – Regulates skin function and strengthens the barrier

  • Ceramides (1–2g daily)—Topical or oral supplementation for repairing the skin’s lipid barrier

  • Zinc (15–30 mg daily) – Supports skin repair and helps with barrier function

Hero Ingredients

  • Ceramides – Essential for repairing and reinforcing the skin’s barrier

  • Fatty Acids (Linoleic Acid)—Strengthens barrier function and improves skin hydration

  • Squalane—A lightweight lipid that mimics the skin’s natural oils and protects the barrier

  • Panthenol (Vitamin B5) – Deeply hydrates and soothes irritated skin

  • Madecassoside – A compound from Centella Asiatica, known for calming and repairing the barrier

Lifestyle Tips

  • Avoid hot water and prolonged showers, as they can strip the skin of its natural oils

  • Use a humidifier, especially in dry or air-conditioned environments

  • Avoid skincare with alcohol, artificial fragrances, or harsh exfoliants

  • Hydrate internally with water and antioxidant-rich foods (like berries, nuts, and seeds)

  • Manage stress, as it can exacerbate skin conditions like eczema or rosacea
