WHAT IS THE SKIN BARRIER?
The skin’s natural barrier, known as the stratum corneum, forms an effective shield, restricting environmental stressors such as toxins, allergens and pathogens from penetrating the skin. It works to protect the skin from chemical damage, irritants, abrasion, UV and regulating the escape of moisture. Immune response biosensors, antioxidants, anti-microbial peptides and anti-microbial lipids defend against threats that have managed to penetrate the shield. This self-regulating, dynamic natural barrier system can adjust and adapt its composition in response to external stressors, fortifying its defence and addressing damage. However, dehydration and inflammation impair many catalysts required for optimum function, hindering its ability to protect and repair. The skin’s natural barrier system is fundamental to maintain healthy skin. A compromised stratum corneum is directly correlated to undesirable skin conditions such as sensitive skin, acne, dry skin, loss of elasticity and accelerated signs of ageing.
The La Clinica Essentials Hydrating Healing Serum contains soothing, nourishing and fortifying actives to assist the skin's barrier.
