When it comes to your skin, nothing is more frustrating than a damaged skin barrier. Some of the warning signs of a compromised skin barrier are dryness and peeling, flaky skin. If your complexion is struggling to hold onto hydration no matter how thickly you apply mosituriser, there’s a good chance your barrier has become damaged.
Whether it’s been caused by the extreme cold temperatures we’ve been battling over winter or from being a little overzealous with harsh skincare products, if you suspect your barrier has become compromised, there’s only one way to repair it – hydration. One product that we consider an essential to repair and maintain your skin’s natural defences is the Nudestix Nudeskin Dewy Barrier Hydrating Stick, £28 here , which helps boost hydration levels and repair dry, peeling skin.
The hydrating stick acts as a three-in-one product to improve your complexion. It’s enriched with skin-plumping ceramides which are known for reducing dry and flaky skin, giving you a smooth, even base and making it a great primer to use before makeup application. It also contains squalene, which locks in moisture, and peptides rich in antioxidants which when combined with its handbag-ready size and easy-to-apply stick formula are ideal for giving you a boost of hydration while you’re out and about.
Harsh products like retinols are often responsible for damaging your skin barrier when not used correctly. If you’ve had to ditch your retinol, the Nudestix stick can be used in its place
It contains bakuchiol, which is a plant-based alternative to vitamin A (which retinol is a derivative of), and is much kinder and more gentle on your skin. It also gives you the same skin-boosting benefits like reducing the appearance of fine lines and pigmentation.
One Cult Beauty shopper said: “Really like using this, it really does feel cool under the eyes makeup goes on nicely over the too to give a dewy complexion.”
Meanwhile over at Look Fantastic , another happy customer said: “This is perfect for keeping my skin barrier hydrated on the go!” whilst a third added: “Really dewy and really soft on my skin! Makeup goes on beautifully on top as well.”
Another product currently going viral for its skin-repairing benefits is La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 Multi-Purpose Repairing Balm, £10.90 here , which has been carefully formulated to work on all skin types including post-injury and broken skin. It gives your complexion an intense boost of hydration, as well as soothing and nourishing dry, sore and damaged skin. Trust us – your face will thank you for it!
