How to heal the Skin Barrier with the PHRB Method?

The Skin Barrier is crucial for our skin’s health - and plays a significant role factor when it comes to healing several skin conditions including acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, rosacea and more.

Most of the times the skin barrier is overlooked, and ends up getting irritated, inflamed and broken. This leads to :

• Acne recurrence

• Darker, stubborn & deeper Hyperpigmentation

• Tightness & Flakiness of the skin

• Skin looks and feels dehydrated from the inside & there is more sebum production on the surface of the skin.

• Increased skin sensitivity & reactivity - skin stings/ burns gets irritated, red and inflamed with every ingredient

• Decreased skin tolernece

The skin barrier should especially be given focus to when using exfoliating actives such as retinoids - Tretinoin/ Adapalene, and BHAs such as salicylic and other strong treatments such an Benozyl Peroxide. These are typically used when trying to heal acne. When these exfoliating actives are used, they strip the skin of it’s kernocytes which are the primary cells that form the skin barrier. These kernocytes act as a protective barrier on the skin which keep external allergens out, reducing UV damage, including withholding the tolerance of the skin when these actives are used.

Hence looking after your skin barrier is much more crucial then you realised. The PHRB Method shows you how to heal and catalyse this healing process of your barrier by using the right ingredients to rebuild your barrier and grow healthier cells.
