How can I tell if my skin barrier is compromised?

Following up on our series about the skin barrier, this week we’ll be discussing how to identify if your skin barrier is compromised!

Is your skin dry or flaky? Maybe it’s red and feeling irritated. Are you breaking out and feeling extra sensitive? Have you been using harsh exfoliants/products or peels frequently? Your skin barrier may be compromised.

A compromised skin barrier means that the protective nature of our skin is weakened. We can experience accelerated aging, break outs and inflammation, lose firmness, hyperpigmentation, and even diminished healing capabilities. Come in and get a facial and our expert estheticians can give you glowing healthy skin and evaluate your needs!
