As your first line of defense, your skin barrier’s performance can be weakened by various factors including environmental elements, lifestyle habits, and insufficient skincare practices.

Dehydrated skin is the cause of many skin problems - on the skin's surface, it can manifest in flakey, dull and itchy skin. Beneath the skin's surface, your skin cells are maturing faster and your skin barrier is weakening - making your skin more prone to allergies and even skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
Keeping the skin hydrated is extremely important!
