It sounds too good to be true, but there is a skincare product out there that hydrates, helps repair the skin barrier and protects from dryness – all for less than £15.
Dr Justine Hextall, a consultant dermatologist who works with trusted skincare brand La Roche Posay, says protecting the skin barrier and maintaining its health is one of the best ways to prevent problems.
Often we look at the barrier when there’s a problem – but it’s actually best to think about it while your skin feels good, so you can maintain it.
The balm she recommends is Cicaplast Balm B5+, which suits dry, damaged and irritated skin.
From day one, studies have shown it promotes faster and better skin barrier repair*– and it can be used on the whole family, including babies from three months. It’s also suitable for eczema-prone skin.
