repair the skin you’re in.

Our skin barrier, also known as the "acid mantle," is an important protective layer that shields our body from environmental irritants and harmful bacteria. However, with all the environmental stressors and pollutants,  this barrier takes a hard hit day-to-day and can become damaged. 

This can lead to a range of skin issues, including dryness, sensitivity, and inflammation, as well as other major skin problems down the track. Repairing and nourishing the barrier of your skin is not as hard as you may think!

Use a Gentle Cleanser

One of the most common causes of skin barrier damage is over-cleansing. Harsh cleansers can strip the skin of its natural oils, leaving it vulnerable to damage. Instead, opt for a gentle cleanser that won't disrupt the skin barrier and contains antioxidants to fight those environmental stressors. 

Our Delicate Cream Cleanser is best suited for those of us who find the cleansing process irritating and sensitising to their skin. Designed to gently remove daily pollutants, excess oil and makeup from the skin while also reducing redness and irritation. With active ingredients of Milk Thistle, Jacaranda and Elderflower to help soothe skin conditions as well as provide antioxidants to the skin to protect it and repair it from damage.

We also recommend our Confused Gel Cleanser for those who require a deeper cleanse. This Cleanser is also ideal for those who have combination or oily skin. Particularly those who wear lots of makeup or products that they want to remove thoroughly but don’t want to over-strip or irritate their skin. It is deeply cleansing but won’t leave the skin feeling dry or tight.

Not to mention, it is packed with antioxidants to fight environmental pollution, free radical damage and harmful bacteria. This in turn prevents premature aging, utilsing active ingredients including Wheatgrass, Parsley Seed, Lemon Tea Tea and Petitgrain.

Use a Moisturiser

Moisturising is essential for repairing and protecting the skin barrier. Look for a moisturiser that contains ingredients like ceramides, fatty acids and oils which help to strengthen the skin barrier and lock in moisture.

The Confused Moisturiser is a lightweight lotion that is packed full of superfoods and antioxidants to help fight free radical and environmental damage. As well as being deeply hydrating, it is rich in Rice Protein and Vitamin A & E. It also contains active ingredients including Mangosteen and Wheatgrass that help to repair and strengthen the skin's protective barrier.

Use a Barrier Repair Serum


Barrier repair serums are especially formulated to help repair and strengthen the skin barrier. Look for a serum that contains ingredients like Niacinamide, Panthenol, and Hyaluronic Acid, which can help to soothe the skin and promote healing.

Our Eternal Hyaluronic Serum is a must for everyone’s skin, providing essential hydration that will plump, smooth texture and soothe skin irritations caused by dehydration. It contains 97% hyaluronic acid to provide maximum benefits of hydration which in turn will give your skin the best start at repairing and strengthening itself.  

 

Avoid Harsh Ingredients


Some skincare ingredients can be particularly damaging to the skin barrier, including alcohol, fragrance, and certain types of exfoliants (depending on your skin). At Organic Ministry, you can rest assured that you know exactly what ingredients are present in your products. We believe in full transparency and only use the highest quality ingredients. 

 
Repairing the skin barrier is essential for maintaining healthy, radiant skin. You can help to repair and strengthen your skin barrier, and protect it from future damage. Remember, taking care of your skin is a long-term investment, so be patient and stay committed to your skincare routine for the best results!
