The skin barrier, also known as the outermost layer of the skin, acts as a protective shield. It is made up of skin cells, lipids (fats), and natural moisturizing factors that work together to: Keep moisture locked into the skin Protect against environmental damage Prevent harmful substances like pollutants and bacteria from entering When this barrier is strong and healthy, your skin looks smooth, hydrated, and resilient.

Ways to Maintain Healthy Under-Eye Skin The skin under your eyes is one of the most delicate areas of your face.

Aloe vera and green tea soothe and hydrate, reducing inflammation that can break down collagen over time. Peptides and amino acids from natural plant sources stimulate the skin’s repair mechanisms, encouraging new collagen formation. Oils like rosehip and argan provide essential fatty acids that nourish the skin and improve elasticity, while hyaluronic acid derived from natural sources helps reta...
