I just had to do this recently. Another good tip I've used is don't wear makeup while your skin is healing. My skin was feeling irritated from applying makeup with fingers or brushes and maybe even from the makeup itself so cutting that out also helped speed up the healing process for me.
That's a great tip!
I have stopped wearing makeup in general,mostly due to the lockdown we had for so long and my skin actually improved immensely.
Great point! I'm currently healing from a damaged skin barrier right now. I decided this morning to stop wearing makeup because the brushes are so uncomfortable on my skin.
So true. It was a blush that most recently damaged my barrier. I couldn't figure out why only my cheeks were damaged, checked the ingredients of a new gel blush I had been using for a few weeks, second ingredient was denatured alcohol🤦.
Just started the video but I really appreciate how well marked it is as an AD. Thank you! ☺
(nothing's wrong with it being paid work! Just really appreciate when it's actually clearly marked at such)
Yay I'm glad it's appreciated! 😊
Agree! Wish all CZcamsrs had the same commitment to transparency.
it's law in many countries so it should be marked
@@NavilleT indeed, but even when it's law seldom people mark it clearly
@@maristar852 Yup, often they put it in the text but not the title so you don't know it's an ad until a few minutes in if you're watching on a TV. Even a few dermatologists on CZcams do it - it's frustrating.
Those of you who put "AD" in the *title* of sponsored videos are the real ones!❤️ That's how you earn my trust!
I would love to know more about ceramides and the 3:1:1 ratio! Do you believe it’s true or can ceramides still do good without it? A CZcams video would be awesome!
My day automatically improved 1000% when I saw that you uploaded!!!
That's so lovely to hear! Hope the rest of your day will also be good ^_^
perfect timing 😭. I just ruined my skin barrier by using a scented moisturizer and realised I have sensitive skin. thank goodness I had ordered niacinamide serum a while a ago. I have been using a gentle cleansing lotion and niacinamide serum at night to cool down my skin.
Snail mucin has worked great for me when I overdo it a bit (read: even attempt to use AHAs) or have eczema flares or bad breakouts - paired with a gentle cleanser and an oil (or Aquaphor).
Agreed! I recently tried a lash serum that irritated my undereye and I was shocked at how snail mucin helped repair my skin again!
@@TPhamer really did it really work bcz I damaged skin barrier bcz of over exfoliate
@@self_lovecare yes! Give it a try. I stopped all my other actives and used a gentle cleanser, snail mucin, and soothing moisturizer. It worked wonders.
@@TPhamer is it Fungal acne safe 😥😥😥😥 bcz after damaged skin barrier I am getting Fungal acne
@@TPhamer should I go for niacinamide 5 percent
Something that seemed to really help me is how I cleanse my face. When I saw Dr. Dray get some cleanser from her pump bottle, I noticed she doesn't use a whole pump worth of product. It seems like a stupid difference but I noticed it and started using much less cleanser while also trying my best NOT to constantly rub it in to problem areas. Being much gentler and using less cleanser made a huge difference. I got in to skin care because I was having trouble for the first time in my mid 30s because of having to wear masks for 8 hours at work. I started putting on Vaseline (Cerave healing ointment) in thin layers to problem areas under the mask, for me the nose crease, tip of the nose and cheek nearest to my nose. I can still get a breakout but it's a very weak breakout and heals overnight. I'm miles better than when I started.
i find that washing my face only once a day is a big help if my barrier is damaged. i just skip the morning wash and put on a moisturizer and spf, then do a gentle cleanse in the evening and use something like the paula's choice omega+ serum with fatty acids and cholesterol, moisturizer, and an occlusive like cerave healing ointment or a nice oil to prevent moisture loss over night.
I have rosacea and my skin turns red as soon as I apply any hydrating toner (it stings bad). You are the only skinfluencer I've stumbled upon who is cautioning about using hydrating toners. 👍
Edit: Niacinamide burns me :( 10% is a nightmare.
Azelaic acid is the only thing I can put on my face! All other acids make my rosacea flare
@N N I ordered some new products one is a very hydrating toner after I used it twice I got a really bad breakout (normally I get some pimples but both of my cheeks just flared up and got red and had many bumps and pimples). Right now I am slowly testing each product separately to make sure which of the product I reacted badly to. 😥😥
Niacinimide 10% is too strong for me too! I stopped using it after a few months with other products and I’m going back to basics. Just a gentle cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen for now.
Yesss I love watching you get good sponsorship opportunies Michelle! Looking forward the part 2 of vitamin C, love from Belgium.
Thank you! I was pretty stoked to work with Bondi Sands, I've been complaining about glass dropper bottles for years 😅
Definitely agree on the point about how to tell when your barriers damaged bc normal products and water sting. That’s my tell-tale sign: when my sunscreens that never irritate sting. And since I have rosacea, I’m so sensitive to barrier damage. I do the things you mentioned, as well as incorporating products w oats. I also really love using moisturizers w omega 3s and cholesterol. The cerave healing ointment is a godsend as well.
Totally! It’s a misconception that hydrating products help with compromised skin barrier… thank you for talking about it 🤗
Also, I appreciate your transparency and your approach when making an add, even this content is sponsored you always deliver value with your videos, thank you Michelle 💙💙
idk if that's true.
Papaya and pineapple anzymes INCI: papain; bromelain.
I should've mentioned that 🤦 Thank you!
Honestly, when this happens to me I just stop applying anything to my skin for 2 days. I just splash it with water in the morning. It's a very boring tip but it works for me. Might as well mention it here. 😂 P.S. Needless to say, you can't do that if you are going out (you need SPF and something to cleanse it off).
2 days are not enough.
you must have oily skin
@@lemonstealer2902 😥😥😥 what about dry skin
I love this! I started using retinoids about 18 months ago and it definitely messes up my skin barrier when I overdo it!
Omg yes. I’m on the lowest dose and I still need two days between application 😩 I’m 3-4 months into my journey.
@@luckyDancer100 how to recover
Have you seen the Lisa Eldridge lipstick in Cinnabar? I remember from your lipstick video that you liked umber or burnt reds. That one looks really good.
This video is so educational! I have acne prone skin and over the years I’ve burned my face with all types of acid I can find without prescription. It’s so essential to not destroy your skin barrier layer and leave your skin permanently sensitized and thin.. love your videos!
How to recover
This is a very helpful video. I have done what you described exactly and ran into all sorts of trouble.
Glad to have information about Bondi Sands because I’ve been looking for affordable skin care as I’m a self funded retiree. I don’t believe in spending ridiculous amounts of money on skincare. Also want to support Australian brands. ❤️
When I had this issues i only used vaseline for one week (petrolatum). It worked very well and irritation stopped. it is cheap too
Also works on red irritated cheeks
@@self_lovecare it works...but make sure ur skin in damp b4 applying vaseline
@@riturajkakoti6829 I am getting bumps after it
@@self_lovecare it's not the right time to use vaseline...i mean u should use vaseline only in the winters
@@riturajkakoti6829 damaged skin barrier what to use
my first suggestion is that skin barrier problems are not always caused by products. They absolutely can be the consequence of you skin regimen (and that that is fine we're not perfect) but it might not be. I experienced this in the past and I didn't do anything 'wrong' I had undiagnosed illnesses, anxiety and I had senstive skin in the first place......
I would suggest getting advice from a professional if you can. There are numerous illnesses that cause your skin to not be able to cope.
You should consider avoiding sun exposure and if possible suncream on any badly affected areas (ie use hats/clothing/shade).
Exploring how you support your emotional and mental health will really help you. Blaming yourself will not help you to heal. It is not uncommon for people who are ill, traumatised, experiencing severe stress etc to also experience severe skin problems. This is a time to show kindness to yourself.
Also if you have rosacea you should discuss with your medical expert about not using adapline (or what ever you have been prescribed to control it) before making any major changes.
You can also use a product called silcocks base to cleanse and moisturise with. It is very inexpensive and has a very high tolerance rate.
I’m literally going through this right now after starting tretanoin last week. Great timely video for me, thanks!
Me too. Actually made this mistake a few times since it takes time to get used to tretanoin. I found I can’t use it more than 2-3 times a week. Vaseline is a lifesaver for my day’s off.
just skip the Tretinoin for a night or two, and apply a very thin layer of Vaseline. Heals your acid mantle over night
@@mariondove1 damaged skin barrier bcz of over exfoliate will vasline work on it
@@self_lovecare yes
I am so thankful that you have created this video, I have been struggling with a compromised skin barrier that seems to be a side effect of my autoimmune disease.
Literally struggling with this right now! Thank you for this video
Glad I could help! ^_^
Thank you for mentioning that a damaged skin barrier can make your skin shiny! I was going crazy wondering wtf happened to cause shiny patches. Great video.
Perfect timing! I messed up my poor skin by trying a new sunscreen that has CE + Ferulic acid in the formula. Plus the air is dryer now which has caused my seborrheic dermatitis to go nuts 🙃
Products with lots of actives are such a trap! 😩 High risk + high reward haha
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience Very much so! I've learned my lesson. I was making such good progress with my retinol, too 😭
what's CE?
@@funnyastronomer1435 Vitamin C + Vitamin E. Those two plus ferulic acid are in the Skinceuticals vitamin C serum and a lot of skincare companies seem to copy it.
literally what ive been dealing with at this moment, so timely! The patience issue is a problem lolol. Confusing too because I have a ton of closed comedones which I believe is from irritation and over exfoliation and just waiting for those to go away without exfoliation is torture. Especially when new ones still form
Any update
same! I also suffered from close comedones before, its super frustrating! Ive realised that i was actually over-exfoliating (cus I use to wash my face 5-8 mins and use exfoliating products every night 😵) but now, I begin to strictly wash my face for 1 min and cut exfoliation and keep to basic as well as keep a healthy lifestyle. Alhamdulilah, most of my close comedones are gone by itself!
@@jellyjay1060 what products are you using
I did this a few years ago. Then flew out from summer in Aus to wet UK winter. It was incredibly painful and I ended up with a flare of eczema all over my face and neck that looked like a raging case of inflamed dandruff skin. Had to see a doctor overseas who thankfully gave me barrier repairing creams and a course of oral steroids.
Please make a video dedicate to acne prone skin. We would love to hear from you on what ingredients to use and product suggestion🙏❣️❣️
Me, yesterday: water mist stung my face.
Me, today: randomly getting this video on my feed.
I remember I did this last winter and my skin was peeling and dry. I used the Soon Jung cica balm, rosehip oil and the the Aveeno dermexa balm around my eyes every night. A few weeks of that and my skin recovered. I only cleansed with the sioris cream cleanser, hada labo toner before that. Even with that my skin would get dry throughout the day so I was going through bottles of the Laneige cream skin mist as I was spraying it throughout the day.
Yes! I love Etude Houses Soon Jung line! So calming.
Excuse me, do you have cameras in my house? I've literally been struggling with cold/dry air/started a new retinol red and flaky skin for days! Luckily I'm a giant baby so I stopped using anything but my cleanser and moisturizer as soon as things started to feel remotely stingy.
Would love to know your opinion about kojic acid..
It's effective for fading pigment, it can be a bit irritating though!
I know this video is older, but still relevant! when we were wearing masks all day every day, now only occasionally, I definitely over exfoliated my face. Right now I'm using a basic cerremedx facewash, and an elf moisturizer. again, basic. skin is slowly getting better.
Yes derms advise that you can dilute active products with your moisturiser in order to reduce the concentration and introduce the active ingredients slowly.
Id love a video on perioral dermatitis i struggle with it for years
Thanks Michelle! My skin is generally non-sensitive, but I've been paying more attention to my neck the last 6 months. All was fine until last week, when I noticed my lower neck was red. I had come to the end of my vitamin C tube and a lot splodged out, so I applied more than usual to my face and neck. Because I lie in bed reading before sleep with my head propped up, I think product accumulated in the fold of my neck and chest, possibly further irritated by that skin rubbing. I discontinued all actives on my lower neck and the next time I get a big dollop of vitamin C, the extra will not get going on my face and neck!
I have been diagnosed with perioral dermatitis. I now can't use much moisturiser on my chin and it is really tricky.....
oh god that reminds me of the time i absolutely wrecked my skin barrier with some super harsh soap i bought from a small "skincare" brand. my skin got ultra shiny, like it had been polished. according to them it was normal and a good thing, but in reality, it had wrecked the skin barrier so bad that if u looked close, my skin looked like a dry desert ground. back then i knew nothing about skincare and thought, oh, this is aggressive, so it must be working. hell no. nowadays only gentle cleanser and moisturizer!
Michelle, I love your videos so soo much and I really appreciate you for educating all of us. I just have a small query, isn't the 10% niacinamide a bit too much for an already compromised barrier, as you mentioned, higher percentage of active does not mean better. I would love to hear your thoughts about it. ❤️
I agree! I've read that niacinamide is best at 3-5% and nothing more
10% is too high for my sensitive skin. I dilute it by mixing it with toner or moisturizer
I totally messed up my barrier. I was on tret and I used to apply it on every alternate day. One night, idk why but I felt like applying tret even after applying it the previous night. In the next 2 days, I could see really weird whiteheads on my face and I thought that those might be acne. I applied more tret. When that didn't work and my face started having more acne, I started using Benzoyl Peroxide. That didn't work either, obviously. I started SA. Imagine what my skin must have gone through! Until one day, I was applying Vit C on my face and my entire face started stinging. Thar had never happened. Eventually, even niacinamide started stinging. Meanwhile, my acne had gotten worse and my skin looked terrible.
I immediately stopped using everything. I just cleansed my skin using Simple Refreshing facial wash and then used a moisturiser that contains squalene, cica, ceramides, cholesterol etc.
Thankfully, my skin is doing better now. I just feel bad about putting it through so much.
Using a mask from "Glycerin + a fragrance free Aloe Vera gel" will help alot
And keeping a repair product acide is very smart for sometimes when you over exfoliate "i have the SOON JUNG 2x barrier intensive cream" and the toner too, amazing and fast
Hi Michelle! I had a few questions: #1 What do you think of the hypothesis that moisturising creates a dependency, so that the skin's natural processes of moisturisation is weakened? Should one forego moisturising except in winter-times to let the skin do it's own thing?
#2 I wish this video had come out 3 months sooner! I was going through horrible skin barrier damage that left me so distraught. Still not entirely recovered, but my skin constantly feels ticklish, and I've the inclination to try to scratch it or get some relief by grazing the area with a knuckle. Why would this be happening? It didn't used to happen before, and my routine of makeup or anything else really hasn't changed much.
I have the same problem of itching on my face! Is cold cream a bit more calming than regular moisturizers ?
@@naderehtafaroji No idea, I'm sort of trying out not using too much moisturiser in general these days. But the vague ticklishness occurs with or without anything on the face.
Super helpful. I wondered why my skin was starting to sting when using my usual products. Time to step back and sort my skin.
I found adding high-quality EFAs to my diet helped alot, in addition to reducing skincare to very few, very gentle products used consistently. Am seeing a big improvement using rice water. Have learned my skin does not tolerate any fragrances, botanical extracts, or petroleum products either.
Thank you for mentioning catching a cold. SERIOUSLY! No one else mentioned that lol.
This was happening to me spontaneously for the second time a week ago. I didnt use any exfoliants or actives either time, didn't get sun or wind exposure. Just suddenly broken barrier feeling like the live skin is exposed and being hurt, unable to hold onto water. It stuck around for a week at least while I did my bare bones wash or rinse and moisturize. Finally made some improvement when I put on some aquaphor to the worst areas and left it even more alone. Going to talk to my doctor about if it could be a medication side affect or something. There are patches on my arm too. So it's not always the skin haver's fault when the moisture barrier is compromised.

@@c12486 😂 I love it!
I've observed how last year was all about educating people on actives and what to choose and how to layer. While this year is more about how to repair the damage caused by unregulated use of actives. But love these videos, can you please elaborate more on the need of spf protection on lips and other alternatives to it. Many of them contain benzophenone and as much as I've somehow been okay with topical application I don't wanna risk oral ingestion through application on lips.
Can you please do a video on Granactive Retinoid and compare it to Tretinoin
I might do a video about different retinoids? After the vitamin C video is done 😅 Comparisons are hard
my skin is acne prone, and the only way for it be treated is to use actives. so any tips on what to repair skin barrier for acne prone skin?
Where was this video like a year ago 😭😭 it took almost a year for my skin to recover. I also found just stopping cleansing for a couple weeks helped. And a humidifier if it’s winter
I love your channel! Your videos have made my skincare routine a lot safer and more suited to my skin type.
I learnt so much with this video! Great sponsorship - I’m definitely going to try their range as I love their Hydrating face sunscreen and they’re CF!
I expected you named panthenol.
I use a cold cream with beeswax and a low % of petrolatum when i screw up my skin barrier,which is quite often.
I thought 10% niacinamide wasn’t evidence based and instead we should stick to 5%
I'm actually having weird acnes even with the same products I have used more than a year, even with/without makeup. I suspect it is due to perimenopause. Never in my life I have so much acnes 😔 and they scar even if I let them be.
I always seem to OD on active ingredients 🙀

Ohhhh Michelle! Your videos are always fantastic!!!!
Wish this video came out five years ago. At the start of my 'actives' journey I way overdid it, red tight peely skin, the Sahara below my jaw, and so on. God, what a disaster. I'm now using Tret every night in one form or another, I use Vitamin C and Lactic Acid on the daily and also a Co Q 10 serum. At night, it is VERY basic. Tret, moisturizer, maybe, just maybe some Cica thing too. And I do sometimes lean on Cortizone.
Hey Michelle hope you are doing good.
I have a question, why does over exfoliation cause breakouts?
And what kind of breakouts does it cause? Are they closed comedones, are they filled with exces sebum or are they keratin bumps?
Thanks a lot
It sooooo difficult to keep focused whith the skin structure sculpture, the molecule (wonder what it is🤔) and the 👀 candle of the backgroung, hun! 😅🤦🏻♀️
Definitely, I need to turn the subs on to pay attention to every single word you say.
Sending tones of health, 🧛🏻♀️💜
How does one wash spf off if they don't tolerate foaming or oil cleansers, only tolerate Cereve hydrating (non-foaming). The cereve cleansing bar strips, Farmacy Cleansing balm also strips, everything else gentle from gels to milks wont take just enough off to avoid build up but not the natural barrier to keep from breaking out, the result of either extreme.
Hi Michelle, if it is not too personal, I would be interested in a video about your experience with endo and laparoscopy
Can you please share your opinion on tretinoin?
I love it, it works great on my skin! Can be a bit strong for some. I talked about how I started on it here: czcams.com/video/I2XV3nMyb9Y/video.html and it's in my latest video about my own routine: czcams.com/video/ULIv4Pk0B7g/video.html
my skin used to be so smooth and clear, but I neglected it during the quarantine because I got so busy :( it's now constantly dry and flaking. sometimes it feels tight and I have spots coming in nearly every day. at some point, my skin was so irritated, that just water or my mild moisturiser stung my cheeks. Its gotten a bit better now but I hope I can restore my skin's health
Any update
Do products containing higher % of panthenol help with barrier support?
I've recently discovered that I'm allergic to a certain mask material that led to a damaged skin barrier. Not even physical or chemical exfoliants have done that much damage to this day. It was red, inflamed, greasy yet parched and peeling. Green tea and aloe vera saved me along with niacinamide. But it took me surprisingly 3 days, so I'm not sure if this is going to work for everyone.
I love CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser - a great starter exfoliating cleanser, very gentle.
Hi! Love your videos. Could you suggest the best body cleansers for dry damaged skin
Does slugging help with barrier repair? It seems to have helped me, but I can't find any studies on it 🧡
I'm on 00:11 and I feel busted 😂😂😂 exactly what happened! I had over a year break with tretinoin and was using retinol for past three months. 3 days ago I started tretinoin again and had a huge breakout so put BP on the next day. Today my face is on fire and even vaseline can't help 😂😂😂 I duped myself
Any update
Can you do a video on what products work for atopic dermatitis for the body? I suddenly had a reaction and now I can't use my regular stuff! 😢
I just got a couple of irritated red patches after using a new hydroquinone pigment treating product with its paired exfoliating product. But I should have realised my skin was already well exfoliated and should have waited a another week before trying these new products. My bad. So it's a few days of soothing zinc balms and nothing else, for my skin to recover. And sunscreen as always.
Can you do a video about skin care while having a flu and a droppy nose and messing the nose with tissues..
How do I know if I've compromised my skin barrier, or it's just my oily skin and the products I use to combat that?
Most of the signs of a damaged skin barrier apply to me, short of being sensitive, red, and affected by water...
Tretinoin irritates my skin 9 months later. Is Tretinoin really necessary for great skin? I only use it 3× a week.
Can you mix brands? So many face washes make my rosacea worse and I break out in a red rash as well. I use cetaphil gentle foam wash. I really want something gentle with cermacides in it too. Can I use a cerave face lotion even though I’m using cetaphil face wash? I’m anxious there could be a chemical reaction…
Thank you!
Thank you for this

My skin hates any percentage of Niacinamide it seems. I went out and got over 8 products all containing Niacinamide whilst dealing broken skin barrier which is still ongoing 🙄 Lesson learned Niacinamide isn't for everyone
Could you please make recommendations for peptide serums for sensitive skins which cant tolerate retinols, retinoic acids etc. Thank you.
My no. 1 pro tip: Slug it up! Slather on a thicc THICC occlusive moisturizer at night, preferably something balmy or straight up Vaseline #sluglife
Hi Michelle! I've had bad luck with sunscreens for over a year now... They pill under makeup or give me breakouts. I am still trying to find one that will stay on my face. Now I've been wondering if I could try moisturizers with SPF. Do they provide enough protection? Like Avene, La Roche? Thank you!
This seems to be what I keep experiencing. Im about to say good bye to differin gel for good although I really want a retinol at my age. I definitely cannot tolerate glycolic acid at all any longer. My daughter uses vanicream moisturizer, and we both use the cleanser but Im about to switch to the moisturizer myself. Too many actives makes for an overwhelming routine. My customers get overwhelmed as well.
I had chicken pox a few weeks ago I can see some of the redness where the spots were on face and body. I’ve spotted exfoliants and retinoids basically just using essence snail mucin ha serum sorbaline and spf 50. How else can I speed up the healing.
Thank you for very helpful video! I’m really suffering.. I hope I’m going through asap
Can I use acne spot treatment(like 2%bha) While I’m healing the barrier.
Best way to remove facial hair like eyebrows without causing irritation?
I needed this video 3 years ago when i introduced vitamin c, niacinamide, aha and bha at the same time 🤡🤡🤡
Learned a crap ton from that!
this has always been my skin? Like it just always burns with regular products😅 oops
I accidentlly ruined my skin barrier :( because when i hit puberty im so worried because maybe itll make more pimples so i overwash it and also i didnt realise im also overusing phone and radiation is bad fir pimples so i really need this
Did you manage to fix it?
Not related to this video, but what do you do if your tretinoin tube develops small holes? I'm on my second tube of ReTrieve, and both of them have developed holes where I've squeezed the product out. This time it happened right away. So frustrating!! I've done a google search and it seems pretty common. People are either taping it up or throwing the tube away. Are Tretinoin creams sensitive to air, and/or would the cream react with tape that has been applied to the outside of the tube or from having aluminium wrapped around it?
The rest of my face is fine but till autumn, my eyes are always irritated and I have huge red spot undereye, like I have applied blush
They hurt and makes me so mad, I don't know what's the cause. I have extremely sensitive skin so I already avoid fragrance and essential oils
Thank you!!!
Is there any good video on dandruff??
Do we need sulphates to wash off silicones on hair?
I can’t put any actives on my neck otherwise I break out in a burning rash. I’m going to have a youthful face but wrinkly neck when I’m older 😭😂
