1.What is the skin barrier?
The outermost layer of the skin is called the stratum corneum, which is composed of 20 layers of flat, intertwined keratinocytes. The keratinocytes are as tough as "bricks", and lipids like "mortar" in which the keratinocytes are closely connected to each other to form a "brick wall structure". There is also a protective film (water) composed of sweat and sebum on its surface. Lipid membrane, which together constitute the skin barrier. The skin barrier can lock skin moisture and oil, and resist the invasion of various skin surface bacteria, which plays a very important role in protecting human health.
