The stratum corneum is thin, commonly seen in sensitive skin, which can easily lead to dryness, redness, itching, and other skin problems. To improve thinning of the stratum corneum, the following measures should be taken:
1. Gentle cleansing: Choose mild, non-irritating facial cleansers. Avoid using physical exfoliating products such as scrubs to reduce damage to the skin barrier.
2. Proper selection of cleansing and skincare products: Choose mild, non-irritating facial cleansers and avoid over-cleansing. Use medical skincare products containing lipids such as petroleum jelly and avocado oil, as well as repairing ingredients such as ceramides, collagen, and hyaluronic acid.
3. Adjust diet: Eat more protein-rich foods such as eggs, milk, and lean meat. Avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods.
4. Sun protection: Ultraviolet radiation is one of the key factors leading to thinning of the stratum corneum. Daily sun protection measures should be taken, using sunscreen with SPF30 or higher and PA+++ or higher, and reapplying at regular intervals.
5. Professional treatment: If the condition is severe, seek medical advice. A specialist can prescribe topical ointments or oral medications, such as corticosteroids or antibiotics, based on individual conditions to assist in repairing damaged skin.
Specific repair methods should be determined according to individual circumstances. If discomfort occurs, please seek medical attention promptly.
