Repairing Skin Barrier. What is the moisture barrier of skin?
The skin barrier, also sometimes referred to as the “moisture barrier” or the “acid mantle”. Is responsible to keep bad things like irritants out of your skin and good things like hydration in. But what about when your skin barrier becomes compromised or damaged.
Healthy Skin Barrier. How to fix a damaged skin barrier.
You got three major skin cells you're dealing with. Keratinocytes, which are your main skin cell that gives you those natural oils, ceramides, and cholesterols being the glue for your skin. Melanocytes, which produce melanin and give the skin its tone, and Langerhans cells, which provide immune protection against germs. You need these 3 cells to work effectively at all times to keep a functioning skin barrier possible. Because just as it is important to keep pollutants out of the skin, the skin barrier also helps to hold onto natural moisture by preventing TEWL.
Signs of a damaged skin barrier.
Dehydrated and dry skin. If you have chronic skin irritation, your rosacea and eczema isn't controlled, or if your skin constantly itches, or if you have delayed wound healing. Other signs can be rough patches along the skin, and a big one is if you experience stinging when you are applying your products, especially those that are tailored for sensitive skin.
How often to exfoliate for skin barrier.
Exfoliate gently. two to three times per week - as long as your skin can handle it is a good step. A classic mistake is exfoliating everyday and overusing those exfoliating acids.
Does sleep affect the skin?
Sleep quality is just as important as sleep quantity. 7-8 hours a night is great and all, but are they quality hours?
Cleanser damaged my skin barrier. Best cleanser for damaged skin barrier.
Some cleansers strip the skin barrier of its natural oils. You want to use a gentle cleanser and massage it using lukewarm water and rinse it off. Never with hot water. Another big contributor are environmental factors like smoke, pollution, and uv radiation. Try your best to Apply sunscreen every day and remember to Reapply every two hours, or more if swimming or sweating.
Does smoking affect the skin. How to repair moisture barrier.
In fact UV radiation and smoking has this synergistic effect that you should know of.
How to repair skin barrier function.
1.) Pay attention to pH. When healthy, the skin's natural pH is between 4.5 and 5.5. Most soaps and cleansers have a higher pH, are more alkaline and can strip the natural oils from your skin, so while you're in the repair process, opt only for products that are best for sensitive skin and have a pH that is close to your own skin.
2.) Use a multi faceted moisturizer. Some of the best moisturizers have a combination of emollients and humectants. But speaking of humectants like hyaluronic acid, if you live in an area with low humidity (30% or less) the hyaluronic acid will draw moisture from your skin, leading to dryness.
3.) Lastly third tip to repair the skin barrier is take care of yourself. Afterall, your skin is the largest organ on your body. What you eat, how much quality of sleep you get, and how you handle stress have an impact on your skin. So in the meantime, find ways to help you control your stress, even if its 30 minutes of exercise a day, tending to your spirituality, taking care of a pet, journaling, and trying out forest bathing.

[@spietroify]

Thank you so much for this video! I was hoping to ask a quick question. The only sign of a damaged skin barrier in my case is that my moisturizer and very mild exfoliant cause a mild burning on my nose that lasts for about 30 seconds. I have no inflammation, dryness, peeling, bad acne, etc. And all of my products are indeed for sensitive skin. I had a mild case of perioral dermatitis, and have been using metronidazole cream 0.75% for about 6 weeks. I stopped using hot water to cleanse my face, and the stinging from the products improved a fair amount, but it's still there. What does this sound like to you? Again, my skin mostly looks very healthy and I don't have any of the common symptoms of a damaged barrier except my products briefly stinging a bit! Thank you!

[@Josh-fp2qn]

I realized I had been exfoliating way too much using different products when I cleansed my face one evening and put on the most mild moisturizer imaginable: the aveeno oat gel moisturizer “calm and restore” and it burned like 🔥 on my face. Red cheeks and tight skin also. Stopped all my exfoliating acids and retinoid. Will be moisturizing my skin back to health for the next couple weeks.

[@Dan24.]

My cheeks got badly irritated almost 7 weeks ago after using a moisturizer and by plucking hairs on my irritated cheeks which worsened the redness significantly. I still haven’t healed and feel like my skin is badly damaged. Has your skin recovered ? Is the redness and tightness gone by now ? I’m so depressed because of the tight uncomfortable feeling on my cheeks I can’t even laugh or smile without feeling discomfort 😔

[@ophelia8351]

Very informative. Thank you dr. Could you please touch on how to treat exema on kids, sagging neck skin on adults and black heads (a la Morgan Freeman) on face, neck and chest for adults? Hope it’s not too much asking.

[@dccd673]

Vanicream cleanser and La Roche Posay (Lipikar moisturizer) are great for ppl with eczema. Both safe for newborns too. When drying the skin ALWAYS PAT to dry, never rub. It makes a difference.

[@SlavaZone]

Just recently, I finally saw how snail mucin is harvested. It's not kind. 😢 (Once I really thought about it, DUH, there's no such thing as snail retirement homes, and you can't ask politely for them to secrete.) The snails are sprayed with acid to make them panic and secrete their mucin, then killed after they stop secreting (about 5 times max). And it takes A LOT of snails for even a little bit to use in products. And it's very popular. So the skincare industry is breeding and killing the snails by the millions, if not billions. Soooo unfortunately the "no harm" is absolutely incorrect. 😞

[@TrishStarr]

How’s castor oil for the face?

[@nguyenhongsonnnguyen7360]

I would like to ask, does the skin in sensitive parts such as the lips and genitals have a natural skin turnover cycle like skin elsewhere?

[@meghavarghese2061]

Is sebamed foaming cleanser good for damaged skin barrier?

[@Akosuah]

The snail cream burns when I use it even before that I started breaking out when I started using it

[@dalarna5025]

should i double cleanse at night with an oil cleanser if my skin barrier is damaged?

[@browniegay9130]

What do you use if the skin barrier is bad from using a scrub on your arms and legs? My arms and legs feel like a coating of black pepper.

[@mercycann6831]

I did a daily salt bath for 3 months and now I have damaged my skin so much that I get attention too much due to the smells I attract from the environment and it really smells bad. I cannot even apply shea butter or cream in both my hair and body and nice fragrances and perfumes even smells bad on me😢 I need help please on how to restore my skin back to normal

[@muntazirnajir]

Can u plz make a vedio for specially oily and acne pron skin people.. who have damage skin barrier..also suggest the vedio what products they should use repair their skin barrier...

[@ASap586]

Did you get a reply 🤔? I asked Dr Idress too couple of days ago NO Answer. My skin is still burning. I bought aloe plant, even that was burning.

[@adityamittal2849]

How long will it take to restore my skin Barrier ??

[@jenniferbrook1720]

I jus started tret. Everything burns lol cerave moisturizer and sunscreen when applied for the first 15 mins . Would calming or soothing toners help?

[@lanadionet]

I had that happen to me when i started, too. What I did is switch to la roche posay hydrating cleanser and another ceramide moisturizer without niacinamide. I use aestura hydro soothing cream. You don't need to use that one, but look for something with ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids. A great moisturizer is more useful than a soothing toner. Also, lessen the amount of days you use tret. Maybe to once or twice a week after you heal.

[@pnevlud]

I was using the ordinary HA no problem. Recently went all fancy and got Maelove HA B5 and added some to my routine and my neck and chest are on fire, red, swollen and itchy. 🤦‍♀️ can this be too much HA? And how to fix it. Definitely going to take a break. I definitely do not have sensitive skin I do have all the CosRx products maybe I’ll try that tonight

[@wafavefa4692]

It might have other ingredients that are irritating you. It looks like it has alcohols, which are drying. I also use the Ordinary HA and have no issues. Always look at ingredient list, sometimes simple is the best

[@pnevlud]

I didn’t even know it had alcohol. But it is expensive $38. I just asked for a refund and no issues at all. I will definitely stick to my Ordinary products. Thanks

[@user-el5dm2km2q]

I try to use sunscreen but i break it so bad :(

[@dinosemr8141]

[@savattsun7815]

Can Cicaplast B5 be used for damaged skin?

[@dccd673]

I’ve used it and it helped. Since it’s a lil thicker, I switched to Vanicream moisturizer once I noticed my skin getting better. I accidentally damaged my skin barrier when I tried a new product.

[@slm8263]

what if my skin is so damaged it hurts 24/7 and hurts even to touch, no barrier left whatsoever on my forehead, hurts to sweat, cold hurts, hot hurts, even water hurts, and it peels constantly and just doesn't feel like skin at all. it gets worse everyday and I'm scared it will never recover. I'm so sad please help I literally can't live my life anymore

[@eastwestview]

I’m not a skin care professional at all, but I just hurt inside reading your description of your current skin condition. In my opinion, it’s time to see a dermatologist; if you don’t have insurance coverage for a specialist, even making an appointment with your primary doctor would be a place to start, ask questions, get their impressions. Thinking of you 💗

[@Dan24.]

Omg im going through the exact same thing!! Have you found any relief by now ? I badly damaged my skin 6 weeks ago by using a moisturizer which irritated my cheeks. I’ve made it all worse by plucking hairs on my cheeks which worsened the redness significantly. I’ve used steroid creams which helped to reduce the redness a little bit but I feel like they gave me side effects so I stopped. My skin is now tight and painful on certain spots on my cheeks all the time it’s extremely depressing and I can’t even live normal because of this. I hope this will recover someway because I can’t live like this.

[@Dan24.]

@curtis5 Unfortunately not. The tight uncomfortable feeling has become less and has improved. However I’m now dealing with another skin issue. I didn’t wash my face for like 2 weeks not even with water because I though it would heal my redness from contact dermatitis. Doing this and also over exfoliating a while ago has turned my skin extremely greasy and oily. it feels so uncomfortable and I hate the way I look like 😔 I wish I just left my skin alone and waited for it to recover instead of doing stupid things like that because now I have permanently damaged my skin. I also made it worse by using a retinoid cream which caused further oiliness and redness and breakouts. What symptoms are you dealing with ?

[@stanleyhudson9781]

I need help please. I’ve always had clear skin but I had oily skin so I tried to dry out my oiliness with a harsh cleanser and that ended up stripping my face badly. My face is oily but feels tight and I started getting lots of acne. I switched to the Cerave hydrating cleanser and the vanicream daily facial moisturizer for 6 months already and my skin has not improved. I need help please

[@kelpioo]

same thing for me it’s so bad

[@arvuu8132]

Updates??? Coz samee please help :'(

[@Yasmine-ly6tx]

Update? I have the exact same problem

[@elowyn9664]

I have a very destroyd skin barrier. My skin is extremely sensitive, very dry, like chalk, hyarolonic acid makes it worse. Ceramides, glycerol and panthenol dont work etc. The only thing that works for me is the "Weleda Almond" line (for very sensitive skin) The creamy cleanser, the face cream and facial lotion has been a game changer and absolutely wonderful. It's such a relief! No burning, no itching. My skin immediately calmed down, and is now feeling far more comfortable. I just wanted to share this information in case it might be useful to others.

[@Dan24.]

Hey have you found any solution? My skin is tight and painful 24/7 on my cheeks I can’t even live normal anymore I just want this to end 😔

[@user-fp1cx3dn7v]

After using a sheet mask i have completely destroyed my skin barier, it's been 1.5 years but my skin is still damaged, it became more sensitive.

[@ArsalanAspires]

[@hammouda_wassim]

Do you also have tight uncomfortable skin on the damage areas ? I do and it’s painful and uncomfortable 24/7. I’m depressed and don’t know what to do 😔
