Is your skin feeling dry, irritated, or more sensitive than usual? Your skin barrier could be the culprit! In this episode, I’m diving deep into everything you need to know about your skin’s most important protective layer—the skin barrier. We’ll explore how the barrier works, what damages it (spoiler: it’s more than just UV rays), and, most importantly, how to repair it.

Learn how pollution causes oxidative stress, what free radicals really do to your skin (think: tiny wrecking balls!), and why antioxidants like Vitamin C are crucial for keeping your skin barrier strong. Plus, get practical tips on choosing the right cleansers and moisturizers to support your skin’s defenses.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:

• What exactly is the skin barrier? (And why you should care!)
• How everyday habits like over-exfoliation and skipping sunscreen are damaging your barrier.
• The science behind pollution and how it weakens your skin.
• The best barrier-repairing ingredients you need in your routine, like ceramides, fatty acids, and hyaluronic acid.
• Practical tips on how to layer your skincare to protect and nourish your skin.
