Barrier Repair 101: How to Use Balms, Creams, and Oils the Right Way

From seasonal changes to over-exfoliation, your skin barrier takes a beating more often than you think. Signs like tightness, redness, flaking, or increased sensitivity are your skin’s way of saying: “I need repair.”

At FWBEAUTY, we take barrier repair seriously—with rich, plant-powered balms, deeply hydrating creams, and nurturing oils that restore the skin’s resilience and radiance.

🔍 What Is the Skin Barrier (and Why Does It Break)?

Your skin barrier is the outermost layer of your skin—a protective shield made up of lipids and dead skin cells. Its job?
✔ Lock in moisture
✔ Keep irritants and bacteria out
✔ Maintain balance and elasticity

Factors that damage it include:

Harsh cleansers and actives
Cold weather and wind
Overuse of exfoliants
Stress and poor diet
