The barrier-building best ingredients for dry skin.

The barrier-building best ingredients for dry skin.

If you have sensitive or reactive skin, one day your skin feels like a peach and the next it's more like a spicy pepper. That's a sign your barrier is compromised and needs some rebuilding. Here are the powerhouse ingredients that will do the trick.

1. Ceramides

These lipid warriors help strengthen your skin barrier, which acts like a cosy blanket protecting you from irritants and dehydration. Think of them as tiny bodyguards that keep moisture in and nasties out. You can get a big dose of them in the shower, not just after you step out, by lathering up with my Ceramide Barrier Body Wash.

2. Hyaluronic acid

The original hydration hero. Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. For sensitive skin, a little extra moisture goes a long way in calming redness and irritation. My Hyaluronic Acid Body Serum is packed with it. Think of it as a refreshing drink for your skin.

3. Squalane

The silky smooth sidekick. This lightweight oil is derived from olives or sugarcane and mimics your skin's natural oils, which means it absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling nourished but not greasy. It also helps maintain your moisture barrier, making it a must-have for anyone dealing with dryness or irritation.

4. Panthenol

Also known as pro-vitamin B5, panthenol is super hydrating with anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for calming redness and irritation. My Barrier Body Creme is filled with it, a rich hydrator to drench dry skin and rebuild your barrier from the outside in.

Want all four working together? The Barrier Bodyguards Kit has everything you need to drench skin head to toe.
