Skin Barrier Repair
For weakened or over-treated skin
The skin barrier is essential for maintaining hydration, protecting against irritants, and keeping skin calm. When compromised, skin may feel tight, dry, reactive, or unpredictable.
Barrier damage can be caused by over-cleansing, harsh actives, environmental stress, or chronic stress itself.
Menteath focuses on strengthening the skin barrier to help skin recover, rebuild resilience, and better tolerate daily exposure.
Signs your skin barrier may need support:
-
Tightness or discomfort
-
Increased sensitivity
-
Dehydration despite moisturising
-
Difficulty tolerating products
Recommended for skin barrier repair
Smoked Bay Body Ritual
When the skin barrier is compromised, it needs protection as much as nourishment. Smoked Bay Body Ritual is a rich, enveloping oil designed to cocoon the skin, helping shield it from further irritation while supporting repair.
Although described as a body ritual, Smoked Bay has been formulated for use on both face and body — particularly when skin is dry, depleted, or struggling to retain moisture.
Its dense, comforting texture helps lock in hydration and support the skin’s natural recovery process.
Why it supports barrier repair
-
Forms a protective layer that helps reduce moisture loss
-
Supports skin recovery when the barrier feels weakened or fragile
-
Provides long-lasting nourishment to help restore skin comfort
How to use
Apply to face or body when skin feels compromised, particularly in the evening or during periods of stress, cold weather, or over-treatment.
Wild Path Body Ritual
Wild Path Body Ritual offers deep nourishment while supporting skin calm — an essential part of barrier repair.
Designed to be used on both face and body, it helps envelop the skin in lasting moisture, allowing stressed or over-treated skin to settle and rebuild strength over time.
Its ritual-led approach recognises that recovery is not only physical, but also sensory.
Why it works for barrier-compromised skin
-
Deeply moisturising to support long-term barrier health
-
Helps protect skin from further external stress
-
Encourages calm through aroma and ritual, supporting recovery
How to use
Ideal as part of an evening routine or bath ritual, especially when skin feels vulnerable, dry, or reactive.
A note on texture and protection
When the skin barrier is damaged, lightweight products are often not enough. Rich, protective oils help cocoon the skin, reducing water loss and shielding it while repair takes place.
Using more enveloping formulations temporarily can help bring skin back to a healthier, more resilient state.
Not sure if your skin barrier needs support?
Signs of barrier disruption often overlap with stress, sensitivity, or environmental exposure.
