The key to healthy, happy skin is a sturdy skin barrier. For those unaware, the lipid barrier acts like the first line of defence for your body. Imagine it as a brick-and-mortar wall that keeps harmful pathogens, allergens, and irritants at bay. If this protective wall were compromised, it would wreak havoc on your skin in more than one way. There are a lot of external and internal factors that can impair the skin barrier. From natural processes like ageing to abrasive skincare products to long-lasting dehydration – the list is endless. And to summon the right skincare products to reinforce optimal barrier functionality, you must be well-versed in the triggers. In this blog, we explore a multi-step process to repair the skin barrier. But before we get to this cheatsheet, let’s take a closer look at the lipid barrier and its many benefits. What Is Lipid Barrier? The lipid barrier consists of dead skin cells (corneocytes) held together by lipids like Ceramides, Cholesterol, and Fatty Acids. Dr. Peter M. Elias first compared the structure of a lipid barrier to that of a masonry wall. What Are The Benefits Of Lipid Barrier? A robust lipid barrier is indispensable to healthy skin. Here’s how the lipid barrier or Stratum Corneum benefits the skin 1. It helps preserve hydration: The lipid barrier plays a pivotal role in preserving hydration. It prevents TEWL or transepidermal water loss, making your skin look soft and supple. In the long run, this sustained skin hydration offsets premature signs of ageing like fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet and more. 2. It shields skin against aggressors: The lipid barrier protects your skin against harmful aggressors, pollutants and UV rays, deferring skin damage 3. It prevents flare-ups and other skin sensitivities: The lipid barrier prevents allergens, irritants, and pathogens from seeping through. Results? Reduced episodes of inflammation, irritation, redness, and more. What Are The Best Ingredients To Strengthen Lipid Barrier For Dry Skin? Is your skin struggling to retain moisture? You can trace it back to a damaged barrier. Here are some ingredients that will help solve the problem 1. Humectants like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, etc.: We know that sustained hydration is integral for a healthy lipid barrier. Look for ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin that bind moisture molecules to the skin for its soft, supple appearance. 2. Moisturizers like D-Panthenol, Vitamin E, and Betaine: Dryness occurs when your skin loses water molecules quickly. Ingredients like D-Panthenol, Vitamin E, Betaine (and more) form a protective barrier on the dermis, preventing TEWL or transepidermal water loss. 3. Barrier-loving ingredients like Niacinamide: Skincare workhorse Niacinamide is a must-have for barrier repair. The topical application of a Niacinamide Serum boosts Ceramides and Elastin, reinforcing barrier functionality. 4. Antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Red Algae: Antioxidants like Vitamin C or E sit on the dermis, averting pollutants, environmental aggressors, and UV rays. Add a potent antioxidant to your skincare and double down on efforts for a healthy lipid barrier. How To Repair Skin Barrier For Dry Skin Struggling with symptoms of an impaired skin barrier? Here’s how to revive it for the dry skin type - 1. Stay away from redundant skincare: Using ‘n’ different formulas in your daily routine can be counterproductive to efforts for good skin. We recommend using a simple and result-oriented 4-step routine that doesn’t affect barrier health negatively. 2. Use gentle, pH-balancing formulas: The acid mantle or lipid barrier boasts a slightly acidic pH. To maintain this barrier’s integrity, we recommend using formulas (especially cleansers) that don’t disrupt its pH. Best Routine To Repair Skin Barrier For Dry Skin Here’s a simple, 4-step routine to maintain or repair the skin barrier for dry skin 1. Start with cleansing: Use a gentle, soothing cleanser to remove dirt, grime, and dead cells from the dermis. For dry skin, we recommend Foxtale’s innovative Hydrating Face Wash. It contains humectants Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) and Red Algae Extract that improve your skin’s water-holding capacity. The non-greasy formula also bestows a soft radiance on the skin, making it one of best glowing skin products. 2. Load up on active ingredients: A serum boasts a high concentration of one (or more) active ingredients, seeping into the deepest layers of the skin to address relevant concerns. For dry, damaged skin, we recommend Foxtale’s Daily Hydrating Serum. It contains six humectants that ensure approximately 6X hydration for the skin. Moreover, the effective serum offsets inflammation – making it the perfect fit for dry, damaged skin. If you have been experiencing breakouts due to a weakened barrier, try Foxtale’s face wash for pimples. 3. Moisturize and seal: Moisturization is crucial for reviving dry skin with an impaired barrier. This is why we are rallying for Foxtale’s Hydrating Moisturizer with Ceramides for your vanity. Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer and Olive Oil help boost hydration by binding water molecules to the skin. Additionally, Ceramide puts a sturdy lock on hydration by preventing TEWL or transepidermal water loss. 4. Sun protection: Menacing UV rays take a toll on the lipid barrier. To counter this problem, add a potent sunscreen to your skincare rituals. A good sunscreen like Foxtale’s Dewy Sunscreen shields the skin against harmful UV rays, preventing burns, tanning, pigmentation, and photoaging. Moreover, D-Panthenol and Vitamin E in the formula ensure multi-level and long-lasting moisturization for the skin. Tips To Avoid Any Further Damage To The Lipid Barrier Besides a result-oriented skincare, here are some tips and tricks to avoid damaging the lipid barrier - Manage your stress: Studies show that extreme levels of stress can damage your lipid barrier irreversibly. - Eat a healthy, balanced diet: You are what you eat. To bolster the lipid barrier, we recommend loading up on antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats. - Use non-stripping ingredients: Ingredients like alcohol, Sulfates and other preservatives can marr your barrier – leading to dryness, redness, and inflammation.

Waking up to supple, soft skin doesn’t have to be difficult. All you need is a hydrating nighttime routine that deeply rejuvenates your skin. For those unaware, hydration is indispensable to skin health. It promotes a healthy lipid barrier, accelerates skin healing and reverses ageing by softening fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet. Moreover, while your skin undergoes repair and renewal at night, sufficient hydration ensures maximum productivity. So, if you want a nighttime skincare routine, we have a little treat for you. Scroll ahead for a Foxtale-approved regime with the best Hydrating products. But before we get to this step-by-step guide, let’s refresh our hydration basics. What Is Hydration? The process of hydration involves binding water molecules to the skin. For this to be successful, one must turn to humectants like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerine, Lactic Acid and more in skincare. Case in point, hero hydrator, Hyaluronic Acid, holds X1000 water molecules in its weight to the dermis. How is Hydration Different From Moisturization? While many use hydration and moisturization interchangeably, there is a clear distinction between the two. Hydration adds moisture molecules to the skin for its soft, supple appearance. On the other hand, the process of moisturization involves sealing this hydration with the help of emollients and occlusives. In simple terms, moisturization helps double down on efforts for hydration. What Are The Benefits Of Hydration? We have briefly glanced at the benefits of hydration in the intro. Scroll ahead for more 1. Hydration keeps the skin younger-looking: If you want to reverse ageing, consider timely (and regular hydration for the skin). It will instantly plump up your skin, making you feel confident and attractive. 2. Hydration reduces fine lines and wrinkles: The premature formation of fine lines and wrinkles can bog you down. To stay ahead of the game, ensure daily hydration to the skin. Humectants like HA, Glycerine, Aquaporin Boosters, Glycerine and more soften these lines, making your skin taut and smooth. 3. Hydration accelerates healing: Studies suggest that hydrated skin heals faster from cuts, nicks and wounds. 4. Hydration soothes inflammation: Extreme dryness, underlying sensitivities, a weakened barrier, acne and many other factors can lead to inflammation on the skin. But all you need is a hydrating skincare to help offset any redness, rashes, hives and flare-ups. 5. Enhances the appearance of dark circles: Tired of panda eyes? Get your mitts on a hydrating skincare for the PM. You see, the lack of hydration makes your skin pale – exposing the network of enlarged blood vessels a.k.a. dark circles. 6. Hydration upholds oily skin: To clear any confusion, hydration is vital for all skin types. In the case of oily skin, lack of hydration flags off the sebaceous glands into overdrive mode. This leads to more greasiness or shine on the face than you began with. 7. Hydration removes dryness and flakiness: The lack of hydration can make your skin appear dry and flaky. Use a hydrating serum or cream to revive these spots and patches, ensuring an even texture. 8. Hydration bolsters the lipid barrier: Sustained hydration keeps the lipid barrier intact. For those unaware, the lipid barrier serves as the first wall of defence for the body. It keeps harmful pathogens, germs, pollutants and other aggressors at bay. Why Should I Hydrate My Skin Overnight? The skin has a circadian rhythm and conducts repair and renewal activities at night. It also produces Collagen at the highest possible level. To ensure optimal efficiency in carrying out the above activities, adequate skin hydration is necessary. Moreover, at night, the lipid barrier is absorbent. This can often lead to dramatic water loss a.k.a. dehydration. Using hydrating products in the form of a cleanser, serum or moisturizer helps replenish your skin’s moisture reservoir. How Can I Hydrate My Skin Overnight? To hydrate your skin overnight, here is a simple, 3-step nighttime routine. So, keep scrolling 1. Gently cleanse: If your skin wants a big boost of hydration while cleansing, pick Foxtale’s Hydrating Face Wash. This formulation contains Sodium Hyaluronate and Red Algae Extract that improve the skin’s capacity to hold water. The best part? The innovative cleanser also doubles as a makeup remover. It contains gentle surfactants that melt every trace of makeup and SPF from the pores. How to use: Take a coin-sized amount of the hydrating cleanser and scrub your face for 30 seconds. Once through, use cold or lukewarm water for a second cleanse. 2. Treat: If you want to double down on efforts for skin hydration, use the Daily Hydrating Serum. It contains 6 hydrators, Sodium Hyaluronate, Aquaporin Boosters, Red Algae Extract, Betaine, Vitamin B5 and Alpha-Bisabolol that ensure 6X hydration. That’s right. The topical application of this serum reduces ageing lines, offsets inflammation, and makes your skin plump. How to use: Take a few drops of the hydrating serum and gently dab it onto your skin. We recommend not using a heavy hand as it may cause stress or strain on the skin. 3. Moisturize: To seal this hydration overnight, you need a potent moisturizer. Try Foxtale’s Hydrating moisturizer STAT. The lightweight formula ensures multi-level moisturization for 24 hours straight by forming a protective barrier on the skin. Moreover, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Olive Oil, and Ceramide replenish the skin’s moisture reservoir – talk about a win-win.

To dispel all clouds of confusion, yes! No matter how oily your skin gets, moisturizer is non-negotiable. A good moisturizing formula creates a barrier on the skin, preventing TEWL or transepidermal water loss. It plays a pivotal role in preserving your skin’s hydration. But that is not all. A moisturizer soothes inflammation, reverses signs of ageing, and makes the skin appear dreamy and soft. This blog explores all reasons why oily skin shouldn’t skimp on moisturizer. But first, let’s get our basics straight. Moisturization vs hydration: understanding the differences Before understanding the role of a potent moisturizer in oily skin care, you should know the differences between hydration and moisturization. No, hydration and moisturization are not the same. Hydration uses humectants like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerine, Lactic Acid, and more to bind water molecules to the skin. On the other hand, moisturization puts a sturdy lock on the hydration. This process involves the use of emollients to create a physical barrier on the dermis, preventing TEWL or transepidermal water loss. Why is hydration important for oily skin? Alas, the grease or oily shine on the face doesn’t compensate for the lack of hydration. In fact, lack of hydration proves to be counterproductive for the oily skin type. When your skin’s moisture reservoir starts running low, it cues the sebaceous glands into hustle mode. This leads to surplus sebum and eventually, more greasiness. So, if your skin stays oily despite persistent efforts, time to seek some hydrating skincare. Where does moisturization puzzle into this equation? If you hydrate the skin and don’t follow up with moisturizer, all your efforts will be in vain. Without a moisturizer, water molecules will escape through the lipid barrier and cause skin dehydration. This is why moisturization is important for oily skin. What type of moisturizer should I use for my oily skin? Before shopping for a moisturizer for oily skin, here are some factors you should consider. 1. Look for gel-based formulas: For oily skin, we recommend gel-based formulas that absorb into the skin. Ensure that your choice of moisturizer doesn’t leave behind a greasy residue layer. 2. Invest in a non-comedogenic moisturizer: Pick a moisturizer that doesn’t clog the pores for your oily skin type. This helps prevent future blackheads, whiteheads, and acne. 3. Choose soothing, hydrating ingredients: Since oily skin is more prone to breakouts and inflammation, we recommend picking soothing, hydrating formulas. Look for ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerine, Betaine and more that improve your skin’s capacity to hold moisture molecules. 4. Pick a lightweight and non-greasy moisturizer: Cream-based moisturizers often feel greasy and sticky on oily skin. Choose a lightweight and non-greasy formulation that restores your skin to its former glory. The best moisturizer for oily skin Your search for the best oily skin moisturizer ends here!
