Everything Good About Barrier Repair

Barrier Repair uses the best of nature by using organic silicones from plants. Silicones are used in this moisturiser because they act as a barrier, prevent clogging to the skin. They also make the skin feel really smooth and silky, hydrate and reduce irritation.

To strengthen the barrier function dimethicone and cyclopentasiloxane are used. They are two silicones that are very similar that enhance the skin’s barrier. The barrier function of the skin is protected by the silicones as the melt between the skin’s cells. Protecting the skin, reducing moisture loss and preventing dehydration. Dehydration can cause sensitivity.

It’s a known fact that dehydration causes sensitivity. Silicones are an important step at reaching sensitivity in the skin.

Fumeric Acid, Furmitory Extract and Lemon Extract make up the Anti-Ozonate Complex in Barrier Repair and is combined with the silicones. Protection from pollution is a must. Fumeric Acid is a super ingredient as it protects the membranes, enzymes and vitamins of the skin.

Vitamin E can be reduced by as much as 25% in your skin by being exposed to ground level pollution with sunlight. This environmental pollution is toxic and destroys vitamin E in your skin’s cells.

Slow down the process of aging by applying vitamin E to your skin. Vitamin E protects your cells membranes. It’s no wonder that Barrier Repair contains vitamin E. It’s great for smoothing the skin, protecting the barrier , providing deep hydration and antioxidant properties.

Vitamin C is also used in this dermalogica moisturiser for it’s amazing anti-oxidant properties at protecting the skin.

This moisturiser also uses Shea Butter and Evening Primrose Oil.

The barrier function of the skin is strengthened thanks to Evening Primrose Oil and the skin is protected thanks to Shea Butter.

Tightness, flakiness, Dry, scaly skin are all signs of dehydration. Dehydration can be spotted by pulling gently on your skin, if it forms crinkles, even if your skin is oily, this is a tell-tale sign of dehydration.

Dermalogica use part of the chamomile plant called bisabolol an inflammatory ingredients that soothes, heals and calms irritated skin.

Barrier Repair is an Excellent Moisturiser

The barrier function and water balance of the skin is repaired and restored thanks to this sensitive skin moisturiser. We all want to see results instantly; unfortunately you will have to wait at least three weeks before your skin starts to feel better. Dehydrated skins will also need to use a more hydrating moisturiser over the top.

I like to use skin smoothing cream over the top for extra hydration if needed. This product is to be used when your skin is environmentally sensitized. When your skin is repaired you can go back to your normal dermalogica moisturiser.

I often suffer with sensitivity on my neck. I have found using the dermalogica sensitive ultracalming range has returned my skin’s state back to normal and I can return back to my usual routine.

Any irritation or sensitivity needs to be treated with dermalogica’s barrier repair, it’s worth the investment in your skin.
