Over Washing the Skin: What Consequences? by Validated Claim Support

There is such a thing as cleaning your body too much. As counterintuitive as it sounds, over washing can strip your skin of natural oils and degenerate your skin barrier (otherwise known as the part of the dermis that retains skin moisture and protects from harmful environmental variables).

How do I know if my skin barrier is compromised? A few telling signs include dryness, redness/erythema, and itching/discomfort, however, often these symptoms are delayed onset. At VCS we can deploy several instrumental assessments to determine barrier compromise/sustainability at the time of product application or insult, as well as over time.
