ad I've recently been making a few early winter skincare routine changes, specifically to support my skin's barrier function. What does this even mean? It isn't anything super sophisticated, but it means that I'm not tearing my skin apart with harsh products that leave my skin red, irritated and flaky. Instead, I'm specifically choosing products that help the skin hold on to moisture, especially if they do so with molecules that work with this skin, rather than just creating a heavy layer of product over the top. This new overnight moisturizer from @Biossance (now available at @Sephora) is my new favorite find! Like the rest of Biossance's products, it does feature Squalane, the plant version of Squalene, found in our skin and important for barrier function. It also helps soothe irritated skin, without feeling heavy. The new important ingredient is Ectoin, an ​​anti-stress molecule derived from single-cell bacteria that can be found in the most extreme environments around the world. It helps your skin hold on to moisture, reduces transepidermal water loss and helps stabilize your skin barrier. The end result is skin that is smoother, less irritated, with improved texture and less apparent fine lines and wrinkles. I've added this into my nightly routine after my serums and eye products. I've already seen smoother makeup application in the morning (because there are no more dry spots!) and less redness. Have you made and early winter skincare changes?
