The skin barrier is the protective layer of the skin that helps to limit water loss and protect the skin from external aggressions.

When weakened, the skin becomes more uncomfortable, more reactive to external aggressions, and can more easily lose its natural moisture.

Understanding one's role allows one to adopt more appropriate actions and respectful routines on a daily basis.

The skin barrier is the protective layer located on the surface of the skin.

Its role is twofold:

• help maintain the skin's natural hydration by limiting water loss,
• protect the skin from external aggressions (climate, pollution, friction).

When this barrier is preserved, the skin is more comfortable, more supple and better balanced.

A weakened skin barrier can manifest itself through:

• sensations of pulling ,
• a diffuse or persistent discomfort ,
• skin that reacts more easily,
• a loss of flexibility or comfort.

These signs can affect all skin types, regardless of their nature (dry, combination, normal).

Several everyday factors can contribute to weakening the skin barrier, including:

• cleaning that is too aggressive or too frequent
• excessive exfoliation ,
• repeated use of powerful active ingredients (retinol, AHA/BHA),
• climatic variations (cold, wind, heating, air conditioning).

The skin barrier is dynamic: it can become fragile, but it can also be preserved by appropriate actions.

When skin is uncomfortable, the goal is not to multiply products, but to simplify the routine and prioritize treatments that contribute to skin comfort.

• multiplying the products and active ingredients during periods of discomfort,
