Today, we'll be covering everything from what causes a skin barrier to break down, what symptoms can appear, how to restore your skin barrier at home, and even helpful dermatological procedures!

1. Causes of skin barrier breakdown

1) Temperature change

First, as the seasons change and winter approaches, cold winds blow more frequently, humidity levels drop, and skin moisture evaporates quickly. This can damage the skin barrier.

4) UV rays
