Tips for Strengthening Your Skin Barrier with Honey Girl Organics
Share
Your skin barrier is the outermost layer of your skin, and it’s your first line of protection against UV rays, bacteria, environmental pollution, and so much more! When your skin barrier is healthy and working the way it should, your skin rewards you with hydration from the inside out, a glowing complexion, and fewer flare-ups. When your skin barrier needs strengthening, you might deal with downsides like acne, eczema, dry skin, irritation, inflammation, or sensitivity.
The good news? Strengthening your skin barrier naturally is doable with a mix of smart lifestyle choices and the right skincare products!
Let’s walk through a full day of supporting and strengthening your skin barrier:
Morning
Start your day by skipping the cleanser if you cleansed the night before. Just rinse your face with warm water to remove any residue from the night. This helps keep your skin’s natural oils intact, which is important when strengthening your skin barrier.
Want a morning skincare routine that’s good for your body, skin, and barrier? Look no further than Honey Girl Organics! After rinsing your face, it’s time to add moisture back into your skin. Keeping it simple and avoiding too many products is key for barrier care, so let’s start with the Face & Eye Crème Extra Sensitive. This gentle, nourishing formula is crafted without essential oils, which can be a good idea to avoid when focusing on repairing your barrier. Let your skin soak up all that organic goodness and get the hydration it needs—no irritation, no worries!
Afternoon
Strengthening your skin barrier isn’t just about what you put on your face—it’s about your lifestyle, too. Including hydrating foods like cucumber in your diet is an easy way to support your skin. Cucumber is packed with water and silica, a trace mineral that helps with collagen production and overall skin health. Slice it up and put some into your glass of water for deep hydration!
Do you need a bit of external hydration during the day? Grab the Facial Toner or the H2GO, a portable moisturizer stick. These hydration options make it easy to add moisture whenever your skin feels like it needs it throughout the day.
Now, let’s step outside! A midday walk to move your body, get fresh air, and soak up sunlight can be a game-changer for overall wellness. Just don’t forget sun protection! Physical sunblock containing zinc oxide, like our Protect stick, is a must. It helps shield your skin from wind, sun, water, and pollution, which ensures your skin barrier doesn’t become more damaged. Toss the stick in your bag for on-the-go protection, no matter the season!
Evening
For dinner, focus on ingredients that give back to your skin and strengthen the barrier naturally, like avocado, fatty fish, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and much more. These foods are rich in vitamins and nutrients that hydrate and nourish from the inside out!
When it’s time for your evening skincare routine, clean your face with the Facial Cleanser & Makeup Remover. This will remove makeup, dirt, and bacteria while moisturizing your skin, thanks to the organic extra virgin olive oil and beeswax.
Next, reach for the Facial Toner to rehydrate. Spritz a few sprays onto your face, and then seal in that hydration with the Face & Eye Crème Extra Sensitive. If the cream feels too thick, apply it to damp skin for a lighter, smoother texture.
🐝Honey Girl Tip: We recommend that you do your skincare routine 30 minutes before bed to let your products fully sink in—this way, they’ll work their magic on your skin and not your pillowcase!
And there you have it, a full day of strengthening your skin barrier with nourishing foods, healing skincare products, and healthy lifestyle choices.
