How can we treat weak skin barrier with Comfort Zone?

Not all skin has a compromised barrier but ALL skin types are at high risk of having so - what's the best advice and what Comfort Zone products can we use, to prevent the skin barrier from breaking down:

Focusing on using the most gentle skin care products, that still give the desired results on the skin, is essential.

We can all strive to make the most appropriate choices in terms of screen use, sun worship, water intake, diet, alcohol consumption, exercise and bedtime, as well as focusing on reducing stress.

Other factors are out of our hands such as illness and trauma can be, while other influences require action to protect and spare the skin as much as possible from aggressors such as sun, frost, wind, heat and pollution in our surrounding environment such as air and water.

Seasonal changes often lead to imbalances in the skin, especially if it is already challenged in terms of sensitivity and inflammation that manifests as flares and/or breakouts. Either way, we can all educate ourselves in understanding which influences can lead to which skin symptoms and take action with support and proper care for the skin, as soon as possible!

Put extra focus on the following factors and see if you can change routines and habits:

• Never skip cleansing your skin, morning or night. The skin must be relieved of pollutant particles to prevent inflammation, irritation and clogging of the skin. Choose a cleanser that suits your skin. Comfort Zone has extra gentle cleansers for everyone: Remedy Cream to Oil Cleanser for all skin types including very sensitive, reactive, rosacea prone, inflamed and/or acne skin, is a true hero and Bestseller, the Must have cleanser. Mild, fragrance free and very very effective on all types of make-up, dirt and pollution, this is an ideal 1st cleanser for both morning and nighttime use. Use directly on skin that's not damp, massage the cream into an oil on the skin, let it sit for 1-2 minutes, emulsify with lukewarm water and make sure the oil transform into a light milk on the skin before rinsing and removing the cleanser completely. An ideal 2nd cleanser for very weak and unbalanced skin would be the Essential Micellar Water - also fragrance free, this no-rinse all in one mild cleanser can be used on face and eyes for a perfect complete cleansing ritual. Cleansing without soap or other lipid stripping agents and toning without alcohol is key, when it comes to building up the skin's barrier!
• Toner, mist, conditioner, skin tonic - whatever you call your "after-cleansing face water", it should be alcohol-free and not pore-tightening but moisturizing, soothing and softening. The aim, as always, is to primarily restore the correct pH of the skin after using water, which can be drying. For the best barrier support Remedy Toner is a very easy-to-use mist with rebalancing content of prebiotics and calming plant extracts. Recommended as the perfect end to a good cleansing routine and during the day for extra refreshing, calming and hydrating benefits, can be used on top of make-up.
• Exfoliation can be done via several methods but the method that disrupts the skin's barrier the least without removing essential lipids and beneficial microbiota is an enzyme based peel. Comfort Zone offers the most gentle Enzymatic Peel Mask for all skin types including sensitive and weak conditions. Essential Peel is used 1-2 times a week, apply a thin layer on clean skin, let sit for 10 minutes and rinse of, use toner, serum ,cream etc.
• Before you spend a lot of money on extra active skincare with a high concentration of stronger actives, think about the health and daily balance of your skin. If a skin is not balanced but very changeable, then focus on the skin's barrier and overall health, this comes first! Only when this is under control, the skin can receive and benefit from the more technical ingredients, so don't waste your money too soon! The absolute most indispensable, repairing and daily supporting product for this is: Remedy Serum!
  This can and should be used by EVERYONE regardless of skin type or age but especially the very sensitive skin, rosacea and dermatitis suffering skin - here we prevent as much as we actively cure. Use morning and evening after cleansing and toning, as the only serum or serum before another serum or oil. Ensures skin's health and barrier as the closest layer to the skin. Super high concentration of pre-biotics, Marvel of Peru and Hyssop flower extract to really calm down the neuroinflammation of the skin.

Take care of your skin all your life - we only have the one and it should last a long time :-)
