These are how you maintain your skin's protective barrier

What strengthens the skin's protective barrier?

Strengthening the skin's protective layer starts with daily care routines, where the most important thing is to avoid products that disrupt the skin's natural balance and choose gentle, moisturizing and protective options, which you can find in this category.

1. Choose a sulfate-free detergent

The skin's protective barrier can be damaged by detergents that are too strong, leading to dryness and sensitivity. Therefore, it is worth choosing a sulfate-free and gentle soap for washing, which cleanses your skin without ingredients that damage its own protective layer.

Saaren Taika bar soaps are ideal for daily skin cleansing.

In a clinical test, Saaren Taika Tea Tree Soap has been found to maintain the balance of the skin's natural microbiome and reduce skin dryness and redness, while supporting the skin's natural brightness.

All Saaren Taika bar soaps follow the same skin-friendly recipe: they have been developed specifically for the needs of Finnish dry and sensitive skin , as their developer originally created them to ease his own skin problems.

Saaren Taika bar soaps have not been stripped of the skin-moisturizing glycerin, and they do not contain sulfates that dry out your skin. In addition, the amount of nourishing oils they contain has been increased so that your skin maintains its natural moisture balance even after washing.

2. Use a cream that strengthens the skin barrier

Moisturizing and protecting your skin is an essential part of strengthening your skin's barrier. Saaren Taia's Forest Microbe products, among others, can help balance your skin and support its natural resistance.

3. Lock in moisture with oil-based products

To prevent moisture loss and strengthen the skin's protective barrier, it is worth using nourishing oils that support your skin's natural renewal and reduce the risk of irritation.

Saaren Taika Argan Rosehip Luxury Facial Oil restores skin's elasticity and moisture balance . It contains argan, rosehip, evening primrose and jojoba oils , which support the well-being of your skin's protective layer and help prevent moisture loss from your skin. The oil is quickly absorbed, leaving your skin smooth and moisturized for a long time.

You can also try Strong Forest Microbe Facial Oil , which supports and strengthens your skin's bacterial population and barrier function like probiotics . The fragrance-free facial oil is suitable for all skin types, but especially for dry and sensitive skin .

To maintain the moisture balance of your body skin, I recommend Forest Microbe Body Oil or Almond Cedar Luxury Body Oil , which help support the well-being of your skin's protective barrier.
