Repair your skin barrier in 7 days and add instant glow to your skin

When you hear “repair your skin barrier in 7 days and add instant glow to your skin”, who doesnt immediately say “YES”, right?! The problem i have had, though, is actually finding a product that works. I dont know about you, but i feel like there is such a huge amount of info and reviews etc online now, i dont know what to believe so i end up spending a small fortune on various products until i find one that works for me. As i love blogging about and sharing products that really work for me, i look at it as research funding haha – i spend on these so you dont have to :-p

Over the last month or so, i was trying a few “viral” skincare products and i dont think my skin reacted well to a few (and i potentially used them in conjunction with other active ingredients that dont play well with others). My skin barrier was definitely compromised and i felt like my skin lacked that healthy glow i worked so hard to get to. So i kept seeing the soothing and barrier support serum from The Ordinary and i thought “this sounds like exactly what my skin needs”. It promised so much- to soothe irritated skin, provide an instant boost of hydration and (the biggie), to repair the skin barrier in 2 hours! The serum is also such a pretty pink colour so you know i had to try it:)

Iv titled this post “Repair your skin barrier in 7 days and add instant glow to your skin” for good reason! After the first night of using this (i only use this at night so it doesnt react with the active products i use during the day), i really did notice my skin looking and feeling less irritated and slightly more hydrated. And before the end of that first week, my skin was almost back to its former glory – glowing, hydrated, plump and healthy looking. I will eventually move to using this just 3X a week rather than daily, as i am currently but i can tell you that this will be part of my staple skincare arsenal.

How to use

The best way i have found to use this, especially if your skincare is already pretty comprehensive with Vitamin C’s and other active ingredients and acids, is to apply at night only. I use my Tatcha serum, followed by my much loved Cosrx snail mucin serum and then layer the barrier repair serum. I complete my night routine with a layer of Dr Jart + Tiger Grass Sleepair mask (this mask is fantastic to hydrate your skin and leaves it soft and supple by the morning).

If your skin is need of calming down/soothing irritation or you are looking to strengthen that skin barrier to have/get healthier skin overall… YOU NEED THIS!
