What behaviors can cause skin barrier damage? What are the symptoms of skin barrier damage?

Many women are paying more and more attention to skin care, but there are also many women who "deviate from the course" on the road of skin care, applying various products without paying attention to what ingredients are missing from the skin base, causing the skin to become sensitive day after day, which is the so-called "barrier damage." Let’s take a look at the symptoms of a damaged barrier.

There are no ugly women in the world, only lazy women who don’t take care of their skin. Many women suffer from skin barrier damage due to lack of skin care or excessive skin care. Let’s take a look at which of these problems you have.

What behaviors can damage the skin barrier?

1) Use products containing hormones or antibiotics: for example, freckle creams containing hormones and acne products containing antibiotics.

2) Harsh external conditions: such as very cold, dry, or very strong sunlight

3) Excessive skin care: The most common is excessive cleansing and frequent exfoliation (always feeling that the face is too oily!)

What are the symptoms of damaged skin barrier?

1. The stratum corneum is slightly thin

The initial diagnosis of skin with damaged skin barrier is that the stratum corneum of the skin will be thinner than normal, because the sebum membrane above the stratum corneum is damaged. When the damaged sebum membrane cannot protect the stratum corneum underneath, it will allow external stimuli to erode the stratum corneum, so the stratum corneum of damaged barrier skin is generally slightly thinner.

2. Large area of ​​red

After the skin's sebum film is damaged by various reasons, the facial skin cannot be relieved in time from external stimuli, so the skin will appear red like red blood vessels. Moreover, as the skin's sebum membrane becomes more and more damaged, the redness of the face continues to expand and darken, so the appearance of large areas of redness on the skin is also a manifestation of barrier damage.

3. Skin care products cannot be absorbed

Generally, people's skin will absorb skin care products after a while. However, some people will find that any skin care products they use cannot be absorbed by the body in time, so the skin will appear oily on the outside and dry on the inside. This inability to absorb skin care products in time is also a manifestation of damage.

4. Tingling and itching

A damaged sebum membrane often causes dryness, which causes the skin to become red and itchy after changing its current environment. When this problem occurs, you will try every possible way to solve it, but in the end you find that any skin care products that can soothe the skin are useless, and applying them is accompanied by bursts of stinging, making you feel very uncomfortable.

5. The skin cannot lock in moisture

One of the functions of the skin's sebum membrane is to lock in the moisture replenished by the skin from the outside. When the sebum membrane is damaged, it means that this function cannot be used normally. After using external hydrating skin care products, you will feel that your face is still dry. This is because the sebum film is unable to retain replenished moisture in time.
