What is the Skin Barrier?

The skin’s natural barrier, known as the stratum corneum, forms an effective shield, restricting environmental stressors such as toxins, allergens and pathogens from penetrating the skin. It works to protect the skin from chemical damage, irritants, abrasion, UV and regulating the escape of moisture. Immune response biosensors, antioxidants, anti-microbial peptides and anti-microbial lipids defend against threats that have managed to penetrate the shield. This self-regulating, dynamic natural barrier system can adjust and adapt its composition in response to external stressors, fortifying its defence and addressing damage. However, dehydration and inflammation impair many catalysts required for optimum function, hindering its ability to protect and repair. The skin’s natural barrier system is fundamental to maintain healthy skin. A compromised stratum corneum is directly correlated to undesirable skin conditions such as sensitive skin, acne, dry skin, loss of elasticity and accelerated signs of ageing.

The La Clinica Essentials Hydrating Healing Serum contains soothing, nourishing and fortifying actives to assist the skin’s barrier.

FAQs

What is the best hydrating serum?

Since everyone is different, there are no one-size-fits all when it comes to the realm of beauty. However, the best hydrating serums contain high concentrations of active ingredients, as well as hyaluronic acid. This is because it’s able to hold up to 1000 times its weight in hydration, enabling you to gain a huge dose of moisture at application.

What does a hydrating serum do?

While all products vary, hydrating serums, in particular, are formulated with a goal to hydrate lacklustre, dehydrated skin. A number of healing serums contain lipid-replenishing ingredients and antioxidants, which deeply nourish the skin and strengthen the skin cells. Even the healthiest skin can have its dry moments, so incorporating a hydrating serum into your beauty regime can not only enhance your skin’s moisture levels but also provide instant comfort and relief to malnourished skin.

How do you use a hydrating serum?

In order to gain the best results, we recommend using your serum after cleansing and toning the skin, but prior to applying your face cream or moisturiser. Simply take a generous amount and gently apply it to the face and the neck. Allow the formulas to dry and work their magic before you apply any other skin products such as oils or creams.

Do hydrating serums work?

Absolutely! Especially when you use products formulated to work with your skin, not against it. If you’re looking to elevate your skincare routine, serums are the perfect way to do so. While they cannot replace a moisturiser, the molecules in hydrating serums are to deeply penetrate the skin and restore the skin barrier. The benefits of this are hydration on a much deeper level – much deeper than a moisturiser can provide alone.
