Good evening residents, I hope you are well 💫

When it comes to skin, a topic that is talked about a lot is the skin barrier, and rightly so! But what is it? The skin has layers, the outer layer is called the Stratum Corneum, otherwise known as the skin barrier. It works as the protective layer from things like infections and pollution. Without a skin barrier, harmful allergens and chemicals could enter the body, this is why it’s so important!

How does the skin barrier become damaged? Although our skin barrier is a defence for us, it can become damaged from both internal or external factors, this includes:

• sun exposure
• sun damage
• products that strip the skin of its natural oils
• Ageing
• Skin conditions such as dermatitis
• Allergens
• Pollutants
• Products that affect your skins PH
• Stress
• Overuse of exfoliants
• Harsh products
• Using very hot water

How do I know if my skin barrier is damaged? These are the kind of things your skin ,any experience if you have a damaged skin barrier:

• dryness
• Flaking
• Rough texture
• Inflammation
• Redness
• Itchiness
• Breakouts
• Sensitive
• Irritation
• burning sensation when applying even gentle products

How do I repair my skin barrier if it’s damaged?

The best thing to do is to strip your routine right back, and go back to a basic routine whilst your skin is healing. This could include:

• no fragranced products
• No exfoliation
• Using a gentle cleanser
• Using a gentle hydrating moisturiser
• Including humectants like hyaluronic acid
• Products that contain ceramides

How do I protect my skin barrier and avoid damaging it? To keep our skin barrier healthy, we can make sure we protect it from external aggressors, and by keeping our skin hydrated. Other tips include:

💫 Using a gentle cleanser 💫 Using moisturisers with humectants and ceramides 💫 Using Vitamin C, this protects your skin from free radicals as it’s an antioxidant! 💫 Using SPF 50 daily and reapplying every 2-3 hours 💫 Not using harsh exfoliants on your skin, this could be physical or chemical depending on your skins tolerance 💫 Central heating and air conditioning can also dry your skin out, try to keep this to a minimum 💫 Using warm not hot water to cleanse and shower

I hope you found this helpful residents, here’s to a happy and healthy skin barrier! 💫

Speak soon,

Love Amna x

Good Morning Residents,

I hope you are all well and enjoying this gorgeous warm weather.

In the warmer weather our skin can start to produce excess sebum which can lead to having excessive shine and oil , specially in the t zone area. There are many things we can do to help control oil levels in the warmer climates.

One of the things I love to do is switch my everyday SPF to the Oil shield Defense SPF 50. This is because it is specially formulated for oily skin. A light weight, residue-free formula with mattifying properties to help reduce skin oiliness. An invisible SPF with high UVA and UVA broad spectrum protection and a dry-touch finish.

It contains: 💫Blend of mineral and chemical filters for broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection 💫Silica silicate absorbs sebum for a light-scattering and blurring effect, perfect for use under make-up

Have a lovely weekend, May 💫

Good afternoon Residents, happy Friday! I hope you’re all doing well 💫

So, you hear about using actives and how they can be incredibly beneficial for your skin and help your skin concerns, BUT you’re a little nervous! That’s okay, sometimes not knowing which actives to use can be a little confusing too (we do free consultations btw, click on the link to book: https://www.skinceuticals.co.uk/en_GB/teleconsultation.html)

A great way to incorporate an exfoliant without using a leave on product like a serum is using a cleanser to slowly introduce the active ingredient.

One of my go to cleansers is the fantastic...

💫GLYCOLIC RENEWAL CLEANSER💫

This foaming gel cleanser exfoliates with a dual-acid blend while effectively cleansing impurities and long-wear makeup without stripping the skin of moisture.

Glycolic Renewal Cleanser is clinically proven to complement and help maintain chemical peel results. The cleanser is suitable for dull, discoloured or ageing skin.

💫 Key Benefits:

💫 Visibly brightens the skin

💫 Visibly clears complexion

💫 Skin appears rejuvenated

💫 Key Ingredients:

💫 Glycolic acid

As I use other actives in my routine such as the Cell Cycle Catalyst in the morning alongside Phloretin CF, and Retinol in the evenings, every other night, I only use this cleanser twice a week to get a little extra exfoliation in to my routine without overdoing it!

Give this a go residents! Have a gorgeous weekend 💫

Speak soon,

Hey Residents! how are we all?

I wanted to talk today about our amazing triple lipid moisturiser!

Aging skin is increasingly susceptible to lipid depletion: the loss of natural compounds in skin’s surface, present in the form of ceramides, natural cholesterol, and fatty acids. This lipid loss compromises skin’s natural protective barrier, resulting in visible signs of accelerated aging, as skin loses its ability to effectively self-repair.

Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 is a cream for mature skin, formulated with a maximized concentration of lipids: 2% pure ceramides, 4% natural cholesterol, and 2% fatty acids. This unique lipid correction cream for ageing skin contains the first 2:4:2 cholesterol-dominant ratio to help restore skin's external barrier and support natural self-repair, while potently nourishing aging skin for improvement in visible signs of accelerated aging. Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 has been clinically proven to improve the visible appearance of skin smoothness, laxity, pores, and overall radiance.

💫Restores essential skin lipids: ceramides, natural cholesterol, and fatty acids 💫Improves the look of skin fullness, texture, and pore appearance 💫Improves the appearance of skin evenness and overall radiance 💫Provides improved hydration in 24 hours, ideal for dry skin 💫Unique stabilization system in a lightweight and fast-absorbing texture

KEY INGREDIENTS

THIS ANTI-AGEING CREAM IS FORMULATED WITH A RICH CONCENTRATION OF LIPIDS:

💫2% PURE CERAMIDES 💫4% NATURAL CHOLESTEROL 💫2% FATTY ACIDS
