Elevate Your Practice: Expert Strategies for Skin Barrier Recovery
As skin professionals, your success as a Skincare Consultant relies on prioritizing the maintenance of a strong skin barrier for your clients.
But how do you do this?
Dealing with clients who have strong skin barriers makes your job easier in creating skincare routines or putting them on a treatment protocol since incorporating potent active ingredients becomes easier, the chance of them sticking to the recommended treatment increases, ultimately leading to visible results that they'll love.
From a business point of view as well, a stronger skin barrier means less worry about aggravated skin concerns such as sensitivity and dryness, fewer product trial errors, and ultimately, cost savings for your client and greater satisfaction with your services.
Now, onto the fun part: helping the skin barrier recover efficiently!
Here's the approach:
Step 1: Return to basics.
Keep the skincare routine simple with a gentle cleanser and a moisturizer with barrier components such as ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol, and a mineral SPF for a few weeks. Nothing more…
Step 2: Introduce the long-term approach.
Incorporate soothing ingredients with humectant properties like niacinamide, sodium PCA, copper peptides and panthenol to support the production of essential fatty components while supplementing the skin's barrier.
Step 3: Slowly introduce back the potent actives.
When the barrier of your client reaches a stable stage and no more skin concerns are observed, more potent active ingredients with a gentle formulation can be introduced. Lactic acid has great efficacy in supporting the production of ceramides and fatty acids. Encapsulated retinoids such as retinal can also be slowly introduced in the evening, with stable vitamin C options such as sodium ascorbyl phosphate or THD Ascorbate to be included in emollient rich moisturizers.
Remember, it's crucial to understand the science behind skincare to efficiently assist your clients to reach their skin goals.
