Your skin barrier is like your bodyguard — when it’s compromised, everything gets in (bacteria, irritants) and hydration gets out.
1. You’re Always Red or Itchy
If your skin constantly feels irritated or sensitive, your barrier may be damaged.
2. Flaky Patches Keep Popping Up
Dry, rough areas — especially around the nose, eyes, or mouth — are common signs of barrier breakdown.
3. Products Sting (Even the Gentle Ones)
If your skin burns when applying lotion or serum, your barrier is likely inflamed.
4. Breakouts Are Constant
Weakened barriers allow bacteria to thrive. That’s often why breakouts won’t heal.
5. Your Skin Feels Paper-Thin
If it feels tight or fragile, like it could crack or tear — that’s a barrier problem.
