skin barrier
Epidermis protective layer
The skin barrier is the outermost layer of skin that protects the body from environmental threats like bacteria, pollutants, and irritants while preventing moisture loss.
In skincare contexts, maintaining or repairing the skin barrier has become a central concern, with products marketed specifically to strengthen this protective function.
My skin barrier is damaged from over-exfoliating.
A compromised barrier typically manifests as dryness, redness, or increased sensitivity.
