The Barrier Between You and Better Skin
Your skin barrier may be invisible, but it plays a powerful role in how your complexion looks and feels. Acting as your body’s natural shield, it protects against environmental stressors, allergens, and moisture loss. But when that barrier becomes compromised, it can lead to dryness, sensitivity, and irritation, or even flare-ups of skin conditions like eczema.
What Damages the Skin Barrier
Everything from over-exfoliation and harsh cleansers to weather changes, pollution, and stress can weaken the skin’s outermost layer. Once compromised, the skin can’t hold onto moisture as effectively, leading to dehydration and inflammation. A damaged barrier can also make active ingredients feel irritating rather than soothing, creating a cycle of sensitivity.
Restoring your skin barrier is the first step toward long-term health. When balanced, the barrier locks in hydration, keeps irritants out, and enhances the performance of your skincare routine. Repairing it not only brings back comfort and smoothness but also helps your skin glow with renewed strength and vitality.
Dr. Kaplan’s Solution for Compromised Skin
The Diamond Contour Clinical Repair Balm was developed by Dr. Kaplan to help calm, strengthen, and replenish the skin barrier. Formulated with colloidal oatmeal, shea butter, and a proprietary complex of peptides, this restorative balm replenishes essential lipids that keep the skin hydrated and resilient.
“Barrier health is the foundation of everything we do in skincare,” says Dr. Kaplan. “When the skin is inflamed or dehydrated, it cannot function properly. Repairing the barrier restores balance and allows the skin to return to its healthiest state.”
