If you’re a skincare nerd like us, you’ve likely seen and heard the term “moisture barrier” tossed around all over Instagram or in your favorite beauty mag 📚
The skin barrier is responsible for keeping moisture in and bacteria and irritants out. With its building blocks being fatty acids and ceramides, your skin will retain moisture and stay smooth and hydrated all year long.
A weak skin barrier:
👎 is more susceptible to irritants, such as UV rays and bacteria
👎 allows for loss of water and nutrients
👎 causes your skin to feel tight, irritated, and flaky no matter how much moisturizer you put on
Although the moisture barrier can be easily compromised during the cold, windy and drying winter months, it’s far from immune to damage during the summer due to environmental factors like heat, sun damage, air conditioning, pool water and one too many summer cocktails 🍹
Humidifiers can help keep skin, nasal and respiratory passages from experiencing dehydration. The Canopy Humidifier works to keep you comfortable while you work, play, or rest to keep your skin thriving and not just barely surviving.
