Moisture Barrier Skin | How Skin Barrier Repair Works
28th Jan 2021
As much as we all like to consider ourselves experts on our own skin and bodies, the fact is that there are always things we can learn about ourselves. An important case in point is the moisture barrier, a skin care element that even some experts do not take into consideration when coming up with treatments. Today, Salameh Skin Care will explain this important concept, and how you can use it in your own skin care regimen.
What is the Moisture Barrier?
Even in simple language, the moisture barrier can be a little bit difficult to describe, but essentially, it is the part of your topmost skin layer that seals in moisture and keeps out pollutants and dead skin. The moisture barrier is your first line of defense against all the things you do not want affecting your complexion, which means that keeping it in good shape is of the utmost importance for reaching your beauty goals.
How Can You Tell Its Status?
If your moisture barrier is in disarray, it may be necessary to engage in some skin barrier repair beyond the usual fare. The key term is “moisture”—your skin barrier will be easy to recognize as in good or bad shape by judging how hydrated it is. If your skin is flaky, dry, red, or noticeably irritated, it might be time for you to put some serious thought into how you are going to hydrate it going forward.
How Can You Fix the Moisture Barrier?
The way to make sure your moisture barrier is treating your skin right is to make sure it has plenty of, well, moisture! But what are the best ways to do that? We will divide this next section into two parts: ways you can improve your moisture barrier using medical-grade products, and ways you can improve it by making simple lifestyle changes.

2. Lifestyle Changes
You may be surprised at how a few simple lifestyle changes can do a lot of good for the moisture barrier of your skin.
- Drink lots of water and eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like poultry and walnuts
- Try to stay inside if the weather is dry or harsh, and if you must go out, make sure to put on sunscreen or hydrate plenty beforehand
- After exercising, wipe away grime and sweat with a gentle fabric so that excess material does not end up clogging your skin or its moisture barrier
- Get a full night of sleep as often as possible and do so on soft, clean sheets
