How I healed my skin barrier🧴🧼

I ruined my skin barrier a couple months ago and this is how I healed it!!

1️⃣ Distilled water:

I live in a city with hard water and switching to washing my face with distilled water CHANGED my skin.

2️⃣ Benzyl peroxide and micellar water:

Double cleansing with these two products leaves my face clean clean. Plus Benzyl peroxide is an acting fighting ingredient. (Be careful it will bleach clothes and towels)

3️⃣ ROSEWATER:

Anti- inflammatory, anti-aging, and fights acne.. need I say more😭

4️⃣ Toners:

Korean skincare is too good. The Acewell toner gets rid of ALL of my acne scars and tightens my pores. The Anua is soo hydrating.

5️⃣ Moisturizers:

Vanicream in the morning and La Roche-posay at night.

6️⃣ KIDS Black Girl Suncreen:

I should make a separate post about this suncreen because it’s too good!! It’s made for kids so it’s gentle on the face and it gives you the most beautiful glow without feeling greasy. Go get it rn!

DISCLAIMER: these products are what work for me but every skin is different. Always patch test and implement products one at a time so if your skin gets irritated you know which product did it.

Healing a damaged skin barrier can be challenging, but knowing the right products and techniques can make a significant difference. First, using distilled water for washing your face can help reduce hardness and harsh minerals that irritate the skin. Next, implementing a double cleansing routine with a micellar water and benzoyl peroxide targets acne-causing bacteria while ensuring thorough makeup removal. Adding soothing ingredients like rosewater into your regimen not only hydrates but also minimizes redness and inflammation. Toners, particularly those with anti-aging ingredients like licorice, can help in brightening the skin and reducing the appearance of scars. Choosing the right moisturizers is critical; opt for ones formulated with hyaluronic acid and ceramides to lock in moisture and strengthen your skin barrier. Lastly, a gentle sunscreen like Black Girl Sunscreen is perfect for daily protection without clogging pores or causing irritation. Remember, everyone's skin is unique, and it's essential to patch test products when trying something new. Gradual introduction can help you track how your skin reacts and achieve the best results safely.
