STRENGTHEN THE SKIN BARRIER IN 5 STEPS - IT'S THAT SIMPLE
In this article, you will find out what you can do to strengthen your skin barrier, protect your skin and make it glow every day.
We explain:
- What is the skin barrier?
- What warning signs indicate a damaged skin barrier?
- How can I strengthen my skin barrier from the inside and outside?
What is the skin barrier?
The skin barrier is your protective shield against all external influences, such as environmental particles, chemical substances, allergens and pathogens. At the same time, it prevents the loss of moisture, regulates the skin's water balance and ensures the optimum moisture content that forms the basis for healthy skin. It also enables the penetration of active ingredients from various skin care products, which can have a positive effect on the skin barrier.
The skin consists of several layers, with the outermost layer being the most important component of the skin barrier. An intact skin barrier is important to ensure that the influx of harmful matter into our body is prevented and our skin is protected from dehydration and irritation.
What characteristics indicate a damaged skin barrier?
If the skin barrier is damaged, the skin loses important substances that help to keep the skin cells intact, such as ceramides, cholesterol and various fatty acids. As a result, more and more water disappears from the skin and it becomes more susceptible to skin-irritating environmental factors.
This manifests itself in skin irritations, blemishes, spots, inflammation, pigmentation disorders, dandruff, tightness, itching and dehydrated, dry skin. In addition, the complexion looks pale and there is no trace of a natural glow. But it doesn't have to stay that way! Because you can easily restore and strengthen your skin barrier with the following steps.
How can I strengthen my skin barrier from the inside and outside?
1. drink lots of water
Drinking at least two liters of water a day helps the skin retain moisture. It also detoxifies your body in a natural way, improves blood circulation to the skin and provides it with significantly more oxygen - for quick regeneration and a particularly beautiful glow.
A carafe can be helpful to keep reminding you to drink water. This allows you to keep track of how much you have already drunk. To make your water a little more flavorful, add some organic lemon, ginger and mint. This way, your water is guaranteed not to taste boring!
2. Moisturize your skin
Care products that contain valuable active ingredients play a special role when it comes to the health and strengthening of the skin barrier. The right concentration of moisturizers and natural fats that nourish the skin from the outside are essential.
Our CELLULAR RESURGENCE SERUM stands for the deep strengthening of the skin's barrier functions and the support of important regeneration processes. The short-chain hyaluronic acid it contains promotes deep skin renewal, while long-chain hyaluronic acid provides intensive moisture to the skin's surface, visibly reducing even fine lines. In addition, the natural vitamin C with higher bioavailability builds up effective protection against free radicals and thus prevents skin ageing.
3. Supply your body with antioxidants
You can strengthen your skin barrier with antioxidants from the inside. The reason for this is that they have a cell-protecting effect. Vitamin E in particular, also known as tocopherol, is a powerful antioxidant that helps to strengthen the skin barrier, gives the skin an extra dose of suppleness and promotes cell regeneration.
The 6 ELEMENTS SKIN REPAIR from DALUMA contains precisely this antioxidant as well as many other beneficial ingredients. It supports the rebuilding of the deep layers of the skin with effective collagen and bamboo-silicon compounds. It also promotes protection against the formation of free radicals caused by UV radiation and external stressors in the body. Omega-3 fatty acids also provide the skin with intensive moisture from the inside.
4. Strengthen your gut
That's right! Intestinal bacteria have a special influence on our skin health. Probiotics in particular, such as lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus), can strengthen the skin barrier and contribute to a healthy complexion.
The beneficial lactic acid bacteria are contained in our BIOTIC 20/5 BILLION, which is a combination preparation of prebiotics and probiotics. Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus rhamnosus can reduce oxidative stress and systematic inflammatory reactions, which has a positive effect on the skin barrier.
5. Get enough sleep
Sleeping is the be-all and end-all for healthy skin - because our skin regenerates while we sleep. Around eight hours is recommended and it is best to give your body a good night's rest at around 8 p.m., as the skin is intensively supplied with blood and moisturized at this time. The body's own vital substances are transported from the deeper layers of the skin to the higher layers to nourish the cells. From 11 pm, growth hormones are released, which are responsible for cell renewal and collagen formation.
At night, the pores widen and our skin barrier becomes more permeable. This allows the skin to absorb the active ingredients of skincare products particularly well. Serums, such as CELLULAR RESURGENCE SERUM, are particularly suitable for supplying the skin barrier with moisture and nourishing lipids during this time. In this way, you strengthen your skin's barrier functions and wake up in the morning with a natural glow that will accompany you throughout your day.
Our recommendation for you:
The triad of CELLULAR RESURGENCE SERUM and the two supplements 6 ELEMENTS SKIN REPAIR and BIOTIC 20/5 BILLION provides your skin with the necessary components for a strong skin barrier: deep moisture, nourishing lipids, valuable antioxidants and beneficial probiotics. Their interaction pursues a holistic approach that has a lasting effect from the outside and inside. This not only strengthens the skin's barrier functions, but also creates a healthy complexion with a radiant "glow" for every day.
Conclusion
A healthy skin barrier is important to protect our skin from harmful environmental influences and at the same time maintain the skin's moisture. If the skin barrier is damaged, this becomes visible in the form of blemishes, inflammation, pigmentation spots and dry, dull skin. The following factors can help to strengthen the skin barrier: generous water intake, moisturizing, supplying antioxidants, strengthening the gut with probiotics and sufficient sleep. External strengthening is primarily possible with moisturizing serums, such as CELLULAR RESURGENCE SERUM, which supports important regeneration processes. From the inside, the skin's barrier functions can be strengthened by taking antioxidants and probiotics in the form of supplements. So you have all the necessary ingredients together, as in the 6 ELEMENTS SKIN REPAIR and BIOTIC 20/5 BILLION: for healthy skin that glows!
