The skin barrier and its vital role in skin health

Today we’re talking about the skin barrier and the significant role it plays in the health of our skin. The skin barrier consists of several layers and each one functions to protect our skin from outside invaders and stressors, and to help keep our skin hydrated. When the skin barrier becomes damaged it can lead to various skin conditions such as xerosis (dry skin), eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, acne, and seborrheic dermatitis. There are both internal and external causes of a damaged skin barrier. We go over skincare products and key ingredients that can help strengthen the skin barrier, as well as internal support for optimal skin barrier function. Join us in today’s episode and learn about what the skin barrier is, how to know if your skin barrier is damaged, and how you can support it holistically from the inside-out and outside-in! Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: What is the skin barrier and why is it important?

How do we support a healthy skin barrier holistically with skincare and internal support? Guest Info Connect with Dr. Bryant Esquejo on Instagram and Dr. Marilyn Merola on Instagram.
