Maintaining a Healthy Skin Barrier and Aging Skin

As we age, maintaining a healthy skin barrier becomes increasingly important for overall skin health. This protective layer serves as our first line of defense against external aggressors and helps retain moisture, keeping your skin healthy and vibrant. Gentle, clean plant-based skincare rich in fatty acids, and antioxidants that help combat free radicals, and humectants that can replace moisture and lipids that have decreased in the skin can help support a healthy, resilient skin barrier.

The term 'anti-aging' comes with obvious negative connotations as a judgment:  youth is good, aging is not.

One of the primary characteristics of skin with a story – i.e., older skin, is a decrease in natural oil production and a loss of elasticity. There are a lot of opinions out there about what products and routines are best for older skin, but we are big fans of face oils and the numerous benefits they provide for skin with a story.  The Daily Nourish Face Oil, made with vegan, plant-based oils, is wonderfully protective and supportive of the skin.
