When the stratum corneum is thin, repair work must be careful and targeted. Below are several recommendations for repairing a thin stratum corneum: 1. Gentle Cleansing: Choose mild, non-irritating facial cleansers and avoid over-cleansing to minimize damage to the stratum corneum. 2. Moisturizing Care: Use skincare products rich in moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin to ensure adequate skin hydration, which supports the repair of the stratum corneum. 3. Avoid Irritants: Discontinue using skincare products containing irritating ingredients like alcohol and fragrances to reduce skin irritation. 4. Dietary Adjustment: Increase intake of foods rich in protein, vitamins, and antioxidants, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, etc., to promote skin repair and overall skin health. In severe cases, seek help from a professional dermatologist who may recommend medical treatments or physical therapies.
