Restore your damaged skin barrier
Your skin is super smart! Respecting that is the smartest thing you can do. Because that way you ensure a natural recovery of your skin barrier. Many products disrupt – often without you realizing it – the natural balance of your skin. Fortunately, you can restore this balance by working together with your skin. And that is not at all difficult. Before we explain how you restore your skin barrier, let's first dive a little deeper into the ecosystem of your skin.

Microbiome: the barrier function of your skin
On your skin lies an invisible layer of natural oils and bacteria. This layer functions as the natural ecosystem of your skin. This ecosystem is also called 'the microbiome' or 'the skin barrier' and protects your skin from external influences. A well-functioning skin barrier keeps your skin in balance, in good health and can even make your skin glow! A well-cared for skin ensures that viruses, bad bacteria and harmful substances are kept out.
Symptoms of a damaged skin barrier
The skin barrier is a very delicate system and can be disrupted by the use of aggressive, drying ingredients. This results in damaged skin. You often recognize a damaged skin barrier by various skin problems:
-
Dry skin but still pimples
-
Extremely oily skin
-
Extremely dry skin
-
Unpredictable skin
-
One day dry, the next day greasy
-
Sensitive to most skincare products
-
A skin that reddens easily
-
Eczema or rosacea
Did you know that your skin can become addicted to certain chemical skincare products? When you treat your skin with aggressive cleansers every day, this then has to be corrected by serums and creams. This causes the natural balance of your skin to disappear. Your skin becomes, depending on the repair capacity of your serums and creams, 'lazy'.
Damaged skin, what now?
Do you suffer from any of the above symptoms? Then there is a chance that your skin has been damaged by the use of not-so-friendly care products. Fortunately, there is good news: your skin is quite resilient. With the right active ingredients and mild products, your skin will regain its balance and can start to shine. The natural barrier function of your skin will become stronger and will show fewer irregularities.
Restore skin barrier with Food for Skin
High time for a reset. And that is exactly what Food for Skin stands for. No more unnecessary, disruptive care products, but 100% natural products that support your skin. We do this with as few products as possible, without fuss and with the smallest possible impact on nature. We call that skinimalism . 100% natural products are recognizable for your skin barrier and give your skin a bit of Pokon, as it were: extra nutrition to repair your damaged skin.
Repairing damaged skin doesn't happen overnight
Although we, and a daily growing satisfied customer base with us, are convinced of the restorative power of Food for Skin, your skin does not recover 'overnight'. The microbiome needs time to recover and come into balance. If you are just starting with the products of Food for Skin, your skin will 'withdraw' from the previously used non-natural skin care products. This can cause your skin to become a little more restless at first. After 3 to 4 weeks, your skin will renew itself and you will see the first results. With long-term use, the skin barrier becomes stronger and your skin smoother and firmer.

You read it right! With Food for Skin you only need 3 care products to restore the natural protective layer of your skin.
-
Our Carrot Cleanser contains an oil that can be used for both the eyes and skin. It does not sting and keeps the pH of your skin in balance.

Then protect the cleansed skin with our Tomato Base Cream . Use this both during the day and at night.
-

Strengthen your skin barrier? Reset your skincare!
Over the past decades, the cosmetics industry has ‘taught’ us that we need to do more for our skin (“of course you need 12 products! Cash register!”). More and more products have come onto the market that are supposed to remedy the disadvantages of one product with another product. And so we end up with an extensive skincare routine, which does more harm than good to our skin barrier. And we haven’t even talked about how the created beauty ideal of this industry ignores our mental health and the environment.
Food for Skin is done with this and communicates honestly about how the industry works and what does work for your skin (barrier). We do this without false promises and with the aim of offering you an optimal skin balance. If you have any questions about this, please email our skin specialist (and one of the founders of Food for Skin) Cathy . Discover the power of 100% natural skincare and reset your skincare! Then we will reset the cosmetics industry together with you!
