Healthy skin has become one of the most sought-after aesthetic outcomes of the past decade. A generation of patients increasingly recognise that glowing, resilient complexions are built not only on injectables or energy-based devices, but on the integrity of the skin barrier itself.1 From viral “skin cycling” routines to the popularity of barrier-supportive products, conversations around the microbiome and regeneration have moved firmly into the mainstream.
