The Highlight Issue 13 'Spring into Summer'

ARUJ SAYS: Start by using a hydrating cleanser to remove impurities. Protect your skin with broad-spectrum SPF30+ during the day to help prevent UV rays from disrupting your skin barrier. Before bed, apply a lipid-rich moisturiser/serum formulated with ceramides to help restore your skin barrier. Ceramides increase hydration to help you achieve a radiant complexion. How can I strengthen my skin barrier? ARUJ SAYS: If your skin feels itchy, has a dry, flaky texture, appears red, or you are starting to experience sensitivity or irritation, your skin barrier may be damaged. Try removing active ingredients, such as retinol, vitamin C and exfoliant AHA/BHAs, from your routine. Apply a hydrating sheet mask to soothe a damaged skin barrier.
