If you're obsessed with skin care, there's a good chance you've heard something about your skin barrier in recent months, such as what it is and why it might need repairing. The summary: your skin barrier is the outermost layer of your skin, and it helps keep the good in and the bad out. Like almost every other part of your body, though, your skin barrier can get damaged. This occurs for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to skin conditions like rosacea and eczema, overexfoliation, or too much sun exposure, which you're probably familiar with in the summer months. If you find your skin to be a bit irritated, it might be time to try a barrier cream.

These 10 creams will help nourish and repair a damaged skin barrier. If you've got dry skin, you'll find a bunch of great options, but we also found selections for people with oily or combination skin, too. These creams are soothing and great for stressed-out skin; once you try them, they'll be an indelible part of your routine. Keep on reading to shop our selects!
