Skin barrier is like a superhero, making a fabulous, invisible shield that defends against harmful pollutants. This remarkable layer, the<\/span> stratum corneum<\/b>, teams up with the lipids, keeping out the bad guys like dehydration, irritants, and even the sun rays. <\/span><\/p>\n In this blog post, we will <\/span>unravel the science behind the skin barrier, how it functions and what we can do to protect it<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The <\/span>stratum corneum, the skin’s outermost layer <\/b>made of tightly packed corneocytes embedded in a lipid-rich matrix, is at the center of this protection system. This lipid matrix works as a barrier, <\/span>preventing dangerous substances from accessing the skin and minimizing <\/b>water<\/b><\/a> loss<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n It regulates the passage of necessary nutrients while preventing pollutants and allergens from entering, thus reducing dehydration and lowering the risk of illness. <\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, it<\/span> plays an important role in preserving the skin’s elasticity and overall health, ensuring a <\/b>smooth<\/b><\/a> and supple appearance.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Several factors can damage our skin barrier without us even recognizing it, and some we can’t even control. What we can do is our best at protecting our skin from any potential damage that we might face.<\/span><\/p>\n Here are <\/span>the most common causes:\u00a0<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n Even though we may not always consider our skin to be a vital part, we should reconsider this because<\/span> protecting our skin barrier is essential for keeping our skin healthy.<\/b><\/p>\n Here we bring you some tips on how to make sure your skin barrier is protected and stronger than ever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Wear <\/b>SPF<\/b><\/a> at all times and <\/span>avoid exposing yourself to the sun in the peak hours <\/b>between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To increase moisture levels, the ultimate solution is<\/span> UFO™\u00a0 3.<\/span><\/a> It directly <\/span>combats the effects of aging skin’s loss of <\/b>hydration<\/b><\/a> and suppleness<\/b>, while tightening the skin using cold cryo-therapy.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n T<\/span>he Hyper-Infusion technology in UFO™ 3 provides deep, long-lasting hydration,<\/b> which helps to push the active elements deep into the dermis, resulting in a healthy, <\/span>bright complexion<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n We may believe we have completely washed our skin, but most of the time there is debris left behind which impacts our skin barrier. To achieve a <\/span>more gentler and thorough cleansing, use a gentle cleanser like <\/b>LUNA™\u00a0 Micro-Foam Cleanser 2.0<\/b><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When combined with the <\/span>FOREO LUNA™ 4 <\/b><\/a>device, this combo cleanses and exfoliates your face like no other,<\/span> removing 99.5% of dirt from your skin<\/b> and leaving you with a fresher, healthier-looking canvas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We can\u2019t forget the rest of our bodies! <\/span>This ultra-hygienic silicone brush washes, <\/b>LUNA™ body<\/b><\/a>, massages, and exfoliates your skin while increasing circulation and reducing muscular tension.<\/b><\/p>\nHow Does the Skin Barrier Function?<\/h2>\n
