Why is it important to use a skin barrier cream? - Nirvana Natural Bliss Luxury Skincare

Using a skin barrier cream (including lotions and moisturisers) is important for maintaining healthy skin, especially for those who have conditions that weaken the skin barrier or are exposed to external stressors that can damage the skin.

Here are some reasons why using a skin barrier cream is important:

 

Protection: A skin barrier cream creates a physical barrier between the skin and external stressors such as pollutants, harsh weather, and irritants. This barrier helps prevent these stressors from penetrating the skin and causing damage.

 

Moisturisation: A healthy skin barrier retains moisture and prevents water loss from the skin. A skin barrier cream can help replenish the skin's natural lipids and prevent moisture loss, which helps maintain hydration and prevents dryness and flakiness.

 

Soothing and Calming: Some skin barrier creams contain ingredients that help soothe and calm irritated skin. These ingredients can help reduce redness, itching, and inflammation, which can be especially helpful for those with sensitive or damaged skin.

 

Barrier Repair: Skin barrier creams can help repair a damaged skin barrier by providing the skin with the necessary lipids and nutrients to rebuild and strengthen the barrier. This can help improve the skin's overall health and resilience.

 

Overall, using a skin barrier cream can help protect and maintain the skin's natural protective function, keeping the skin healthy and looking its best. However, it's important to choose a skin barrier cream that is appropriate for your skin type and condition, and to use it as directed for best results.
