As Skin Therapists, we often focus on treating the visible issues such as wrinkles, dark spots, or acne.
However, what we often forget is that healthy skin requires a strong foundation, which is the skin's moisture barrier and microbiome. The lipid barrier is made up of natural moisturising factors and lipids, and when balanced, gives the skin a plump, smooth, and luminous appearance.
On top of this barrier sits the microbiome, consisting of friendly bacteria and other protective elements that help the skin resist environmental stressors.
