This afternoon, we're chatting about:

• What really is your skin barrier?

• Our favorite fix for dry, sensitive skin

What Your Skin Barrier Actually Does

Your skin barrier is the outermost layer of your skin: the shield that locks in moisture and keeps irritants out. It’s made of dead cells and natural fats that work together like bricks and mortar, forming a protective wall against the environment. When it’s healthy, your skin feels soft, smooth, and calm.

You’ll know it’s damaged when that balance breaks down. Dryness, redness, flaking, or a burning sensation after applying products are all signs that your barrier is struggling. You might also notice breakouts or sensitivity to products that never used to bother you. Think of it as your skin’s way of saying its armor needs a little rest.

The Perfect Mask to Add to Your Winter Skincare Routine

When skin feels tight, dull, or easily irritated, hydration alone isn’t always enough. Clark’s Botanicals Deep Moisture Mask restores balance with a clinically proven formula that delivers up to eight hours of hydration while visibly reducing redness in minutes.

It’s powered by dehydrated algae microspheres that pull in moisture and support collagen, Japanese green tea to calm irritation, and the brand’s signature Jasmine Catalyst Complex—a blend of jasmine enzymes, arnica montana, niacinamide, and red algae—to strengthen the skin barrier.

Use it as a 20-minute reset, or leave it on as a rich, daytime moisturizer for a dewey, refreshed complexion all day long. Pair it with our award-winning Retinol Rescue Overnight Cream to target the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Free from parabens, sulfates, silicones, and phthalates—and fully vegan and cruelty-free—it’s the kind of luxury that feels earned.

Enjoy 20% off all single products with code REVEL20 (valid through 12/31, one-time purchases only).
