Skin with a damaged barrier may cause other problems, and in the daily skin care process, it can be said that it is like walking on thin ice, so it is very important to stabilize the strong skin barrier structure.
But how do we tell if our skin barrier is healthy? Is it that the slightest abnormality in skin performance is a problem with the barrier? For a period of time, how do we confirm the health status of the barrier?
Today we will elaborate on the topic of the damaged barrier of self-judgment. How can I tell if the "skin barrier" is damaged? Look at these four points is enough, recommended collection!
Carefully check for damage to the skin barrier
When the skin barrier appears to be damaged, the skin gives us some risk signals. If we can detect it in time and carry out barrier repair work, then the skin will return to stability faster. On the contrary, if the repair is not carried out in time and the skin care behavior that destroys the skin barrier is continued, it is likely to lead to the formation of acquired sensitive skin and increase the difficulty of recovery. If your skin has the following symptoms of discomfort, then the skin barrier is already in a damaged state.
1) Abnormal dryness, tightness and discomfort
After we wash our face, wipe the moisture off our face, don't apply skin care products, and wait about 5 minutes. During this period, the skin with a damaged barrier will soon feel dry and tight on the face, and the cheek skin may appear at the same time with symptoms of cracked texture and peeling. Under normal circumstances, the cuticle of the skin is healthy and has sufficient moisturizing power.
After washing the face, the surface skin is temporarily dehydrated, the water content of the stratum corneum is low, and there is no skin wrinkle or peeling. However, the skin with damaged barrier, the lack of substances in the stratum corneum structure, the decrease in the skin's own water retention, and the lack of epidermal sebaceous membrane cannot regulate the temporary dehydration of the epidermis, and the skin will feel particularly dry and uncomfortable.
2) Often have red acne on the face
There are many reasons for skin acne, one of which is damaged barriers. If you have dry skin but often develop redness, swelling and acne, or if you often have closed mouths on your face, then you should pay attention to the health of the skin barrier. If you are too eager to feel dry during daily cleaning, or if you often rub the stratum corneum, the damage to the skin barrier is continuous and serious.
In addition, oily skin, daily cleaning is easy to overdos, but also lead to skin barrier structure damage, skin frequent acne and acne closure.
3) Skin pan in hot and cold environments
Normal skin manifestations, in the sun or in an air-conditioned room, may also have a large area of redness on the skin, but this redness will not be accompanied by tingling discomfort and may also dissipate quickly.
In the case of damaged skin barrier, the facial cuticle is relatively weak, the defense against external stimuli is low, the exposure to the sun, the alternating hot and cold environment, the skin will be accompanied by slight itching, pinprick pain, and this redness will not fade in a short time.
In addition, the skin barrier is damaged, and the surface of the skin may also appear as a small area of red blood, especially the cheeks, the position of the nose wings, and the red blood is protruding.
4) Skin oily and dry
This abnormal skin symptom often occurs on oily skin. Under normal skin conditions, oily skin does not experience symptoms of self-conscious dryness. Oily skin secretes a lot of oil on its own, and the surface skin will not have the problem of dryness and peeling.
However, oily skin with damaged barrier will have a dry and tight appearance of oily face, and the skin where the barrier is seriously damaged will have skin and dry skin. Especially after washing the face, if you do not apply moisturizing skin care products in time, the oil will soon come out of the face, but it will be accompanied by the phenomenon of skin turning up.
How is the skin barrier damaged?
After confirming that the skin barrier is indeed damaged, we need to take the correct barrier repair skin care behavior. On the basis of gentle cleaning and focusing on moisturizing, you can moderately enhance the repair type essence products to help the skin repair itself faster. During the Skin Barrier Repair skin care period, do not try other irritating skin care products.
In general, barrier repair and skin care is carried out for 3-6 months, and the skin condition will gradually stabilize. We can check whether the skin barrier is healthy in the following ways.
Dry the water on your face in time after cleansing, and wait 5 minutes for naked face without applying skin care products. During this process, the skin may have a slight wrinkle, but there will be no texture dry cracking, epidermis churning, tingling skin, redness and burning discomfort. In this state, our skin barrier is relatively healthy and stable.
The problem of damage to the skin barrier has attracted more and more attention from everyone, but sometimes it has been over-amplified, resulting in many girls being extremely worried about their skin condition, but there are excessive skin care problems. Therefore, accurately judging the state of the skin and taking appropriate skin care measures is what we have to pay special attention to!
