Have you ever used skincare but it doesn’t seem to work, even though many people like the product but how come I don’t see any results?
There are 2 possibilities:
1. Incompatibility to your skin / Known allergies against certain ingredients
2. Broken Skin Barrier
💡What is Skin Barrier?
– The skin barrier is the outermost layer of skin cells, which is usually tough. It contains natural moisturizing factors from each of our skin which usually protects the skin from bacteria that cause acne and other skin damage. If your skin barrier is damaged, of course, the skincare you use will be in vain and produce nothing.
💡Things to Remember When Having Damaged Skin Barrier:
Stop Over-Exfolliating (Stop using AHA / BHA / PHA) 🚫
— This will harm your skin a lot and cause too much damage like peeling off skin, dryness, red patches and skin irritations.
Focus on using products containing CICA or Centella Asiatica🍃
— Centella asiatica, which also goes by the easier-to-pronounce nickname Cica, is a small-but-mighty green herb . There’s recently been buzz around everything this soothing botanical can do for our skin—even the sensitive types—and for good reason. The benefits of Cica read like a who’s-who of skincare needs—it improves scratches, burns, helps heal hypertrophic wounds, enhances collagen, acts as an anti-inflammatory agent for conditions like eczema, and more!
Focus on using products that contains Niacinamide✨
— niacinamide may help treat certain skin conditions, including acne and eczema. niacinamide may have a positive impact on your overall skin health. The ingredient can help reduce inflammation and hyperpigmentation, smooth your overall skin texture, and brighten your skin.
It can take several weeks to see noticeable improvement, so it’s important to be patient and to stick with your routine.
