Also knows as the acid mantle, did you know that your moisture barrier is your skin's BODY GUARD? This famous barrier is not only responsible to protect the skin from environmental debris and outside bacteria, but it also has another purpose: to keep the moisture within your skin. It’s made up of lipids (oils) that bind your skin cells together. When it's intact, the skin feels soft and supple. But when it's broken or damaged, it will make your skin feel irritated, red, sensitive, since it has tiny broken cracks that is letting the moisture OUT and letting the outside irritants IN. The moisture barrier usually will be influenced greatly by day to day habits (it's the little things over time that can make a big impact, like washing your skin with a soap bar, smoking, or not wearing SPF.)
