Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a damaged skin barrier?
The skin barrier is most often damaged by aggressive cleansing, frequent washing with hot water, excessive exfoliation, or strong active ingredients. Dryness, cold weather, air conditioning, pollution, and stress also play a role. The result is a loss of lipids and water, leaving skin drier, redder, and more reactive even to products it previously tolerated well.
How do I know if my skin barrier is compromised?
Typical signs include tightness, stinging or tingling after applying cream, redness, fine flaking, and loss of natural glow. Skin also tolerates previously well-loved products less well and reacts faster to weather changes or new products. In more advanced cases, a sensation of heat without an obvious cause can also appear.
Which ingredients and care routine best help restore the skin barrier?
Ceramides, panthenol, sodium hyaluronate, and similar ingredients work best, replenishing lipids and binding water in the skin. LESIMO follows the Less is More philosophy – a simple routine with fewer steps protects the barrier better than a complicated regimen with many active ingredients at once.
Can LESIMO products be combined with retinol or exfoliants?
With a compromised barrier, we recommend temporarily reducing active ingredients such as retinol or stronger exfoliants and first calming and hydrating the skin. Once the barrier strengthens and the feeling of tightness or irritation disappears, active care can gradually return and be combined with the LESIMO hydrating routine.
