Gentle Cleansing with Non-Irritating Products
Choose gentle cleansing agents that do not strip the skin of its natural oils. Additionally, use lukewarm water for washing your face and body, as hot water can damage the skin's lipid barrier. Avoid cosmetics containing alcohol, strong acids, and other irritating ingredients. Overzealous skincare can lead to irritation or damage to this valuable protective layer of the skin. Always test new products on a small area of skin to ensure they are suitable for you and do not cause allergies or irritation. After all, each of us is different!

Sun Protection Essential for Maintaining Healthy Skin
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (UVA and UVB) with at least SPF 30 daily. Additionally, wear hats and sunglasses to minimize sun exposure. UV rays weaken the skin's natural barrier and contribute to photoaging.

Moisturizing and Nourishing with Valuable Ingredients
What active ingredients strengthen the skin's natural barrier? Choose cosmetics containing these proven substances:
- panthenol attracts and retains moisture in the skin, helping to maintain proper hydration. It has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, which help reduce redness and irritation. It accelerates the healing process, supporting the skin's natural repair processes.
- allantoin soothes, reducing irritation and inflammation, and supports the regeneration of damaged skin. It helps retain moisture, improving skin hydration, elasticity, and cell renewal.
- ceramides are key components of the skin's lipid layer, helping to maintain the integrity of the protective barrier. They prevent water loss through the epidermis, keeping the skin hydrated, and protect against harmful environmental factors and pollution.
- niacinamide promotes the production of ceramides and fatty acids, strengthening the skin's protective barrier. It reduces inflammation and redness, alleviating acne symptoms and other skin conditions. It helps regulate sebum production, beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin.
- peptides stimulate collagen production, strengthening the skin structure and improving its elasticity. They support repair and regenerative processes, helping to smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
- vitamin E protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals and UV radiation. It has moisturizing properties and supports skin regeneration processes. It soothes and calms the skin.
- vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals. It supports collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness. It helps reduce pigmentation and even out skin tone, giving it a healthier appearance.

Minimalism in skincare proves to be invaluable! Using few products at the same time helps avoid irritation and damage to the protective barrier. Overuse of mechanical and chemical peels can also damage the skin barrier. Insufficient hygiene of makeup tools can lead to barrier disruption and contamination. Regularly clean powder brushes and other accessories to avoid introducing bacteria to the skin. Changing your pillowcase and face towel frequently also helps minimize contact with contaminants.
Proper Diet, Hydration and Supplementation
An essential part of maintaining healthy skin is a proper diet, hydration, and supplementation. What we consume significantly affects our body. A diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins supports skin health and benefits the natural protective barrier. Adequate hydration helps prevent skin dryness. Consider supplements containing ceramides, collagen, or omega-3 fatty acids to support the skin barrier and improve skin hydration.
