Our skin barrier just might be one of the most important organs of the human body. It helps keep out chemicals and other harmful substances while locking in all that good stuff. That’s why it’s super important that we protect and take good care of our skin barrier by choosing products that have our skin’s best interests at heart. Here are a few. —Jennifer Cox
The Triple Lipid Restore from Skinceuticals ($170) is an anti-aging cream that contains the patented lipid ratio of 2% pure ceramides 1 and 3, 4% natural cholesterol, and 2% fatty acids, which is proven to nourish dry skin and reverse the signs of aging. It helps to restore the skin’s external moisture barrier and support natural self-repair, improving the appearance of skin smoothness, laxity, pores, and overall radiance.
A Best Of Beauty Award winner of Allure magazine, Skinfix’s Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream ($70) for the face deeply hydrates with active lipids, peptides, small particle hyaluronic acid, and rich shea butter. Nutripeptides support skin barrier health, seaweed sodium hyaluronate deeply hydrates, and lily root helps lock hydration into the skin. The result is a brighter, firm complexion from the inside out.
The Avocado Ceramide Recovery Serum from Glow Recipe ($44) reduces visible redness and supports the skin barrier with soothing and calming avocado. It is specially formulated to target dehydration, irritation, and redness, and has a lightweight milky texture that wraps sensitive skin in a healing layer of actives to restore skin to its natural, healthy state.
Paula’s Choice carries the Resist Barrier Repair Moisturizer With Retinol ($37), a skin-renewing anti-aging moisturizer that nourishes dehydrated skin while promoting a firmer-looking, radiant complexion. Even though it creates a moisture barrier, it’s light and helps soothe and soften the skin. Retinol visibly reduces the appearance of wrinkles and firms skin, while antioxidants reduce the effects of environmental factors.
For those who have sensitive skin, there’s TULA Skincare’s Calming Vitamin B Serum ($63). There are four types of Vitamin B, including Niacinamide, that help to hydrate and smooth skin, and ginger, aloe, cucumber, and oats improve skin’s overall resilience. The smell is divine – it’s so refreshing, you won’t believe it’s made without fragrance.
