Repair skin barrier skin care, everyone is most concerned about the repair of skin stratum corneum, in the choice of skin care products, but also pay special attention to the selection of cuticle repair, thickening skin stratum corneum effect of products. But in fact, our skin barrier is not only the stratum corneum.
Many people try to repair barrier skin care, but it is still difficult to improve the skin's redness, sensitivity and other problems. When we buy skin care products, we will also find the same repair products, but their focus is different.
If you are trying to repair skin care, but the skin condition has not changed, then today's comprehensive care of the skin barrier content, will certainly be able to answer your questions.
Our skin barrier is not only the so-called "brick wall" structure, in fact, the skin has a total of 4 layers of barrier, in order to completely improve the skin sensitivity state, the health of these 4 barriers need to be fully considered.
Microbial barrier
It is composed of various flora that live on the surface.
Microbial barrier health is very important for the skin, many people are prone to acne, and the performance of frequent redness of the skin is caused by the imbalance of the microbial flora. The structural disorder of the microbial barrier will lead to abnormal function of the other three layers of the barrier.
To balance the skin microecology, the first thing we have to do is to examine our own skincare habits. The following skin care behaviors can lead to the disturbance of the surface flora of the skin.
Frequent use of powerful cleansing facial cleanser, frequent deep cleaning, acid skin care, a wide variety of skin care in use, etc.
To improve the state of the microbial barrier, on the basis of adjusting to the skin care method suitable for ourselves, we can gradually adjust the skin microecological environment by using skin care products containing probiotic factors to achieve the purpose of stable skin condition.
Chemical barriers
This barrier is made up of sweat, sebum and some of the keratin secreted by the skin, the so-called sebaceous membrane. The main function of this barrier is to help the skin lock in water while providing some protection for the skin.
However, the sebaceous membrane is also a very fragile skin barrier structure. Daily excessive cleaning of skin care, moisturizing skin care is not in place, etc. will lead to the loss of sebaceous membrane structure; in addition, dry skin because of skin characteristics, its ability to form sebaceous membrane is relatively poor, if the daily skin care is not in place, it is easier to aggravate the damaged state of sebaceous membrane.
The structure of the sebaceous membrane is incomplete, the skin is very prone to dryness and peeling, redness and tingling, some inflammatory skin characterization, which in turn will also cause damage to the inner barrier of the skin and obvious skin sensitivity.
To improve the condition of the sebaceous membrane, the most important thing is to avoid damage to the sebaceous membrane. Gentle cleansing care is carried out, the skin is moisturized daily, and the structure of the sebaceous membrane can be repaired quickly.
Physical barriers
This is the barrier structure we often hear, existing in the epidermis layer, including the "brick wall" structure of the cuticle of the skin. Many obvious manifestations of barrier damage, such as redness, tightness, desquamation, tingling, etc., are caused by the unhealthy barrier.
Most of the skincare behaviors that cause damage to this barrier are caused by the use of strong products such as A alcohols, acid products that cause irritation, and frequent rubbing of the skin. If the physical barrier is damaged, it will be more difficult to repair.
To repair this barrier function, it is more important to do a good job of daily basic skin care. Avoid excessive skin irritation, ensure gentle cleansing and moisturizing care, and on this basis, you can use skin care products with barrier repair function to improve the stratum corneum structure of the skin and gradually develop a healthy skin state.
In fact, the physical barrier is damaged, which means to a certain extent that the sebaceous membrane has been seriously damaged, and the maintenance of the sebaceous membrane and the stratum corneum structure needs to be carried out at the same time.
Immune barrier
Made of immune cells, the last line of defense of the skin.
Once this barrier function is abnormal, then external stimuli, pollutants, etc. will easily attack the skin, resulting in an inflammatory reaction to the skin, with obvious allergic characterization.
Problems with the immune barrier tend to occur in a short period of time, and skin problems are more serious. Improving this barrier structure requires us to identify the causes of skin sensitization and stay away from allergens.
If the skin problem is serious, be sure to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition, at the skin care level, after the severe discomfort of the skin has subsided, it can be applied with a rapid and soothing effect, such as skin care products containing the ingredient of Xinyi, to repair the immune barrier in time and alleviate the symptoms of skin burning, itching and small rashes.
Regarding the content of skin barrier repair, let's talk about this. Now there are more and more skin care products on the market to maintain barriers, and when choosing products, we must carefully identify our own skin problems and choose products that are truly suitable for us, so as to achieve a more effective skin care effect with less.
