What are ceramides?
Ceramides are lipids that make up to 50% of the skin's lipids to form the natural skin barrier. They are essentially the sticky glue that holds our skin cells together to keep our skin barrier intact & healthy. A healthy skin barrier helps retain moisture and seal out harmful elements. If your skin has lower ceramide levels, you might suffer from skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea. Harsh climates, age and sun exposure also impact ceramide levels and can compromise your skin's barrier, which can result in dry skin.
Why do you need ceramides?
Ceramides are essential for maintaining the integrity of the skin barrier, which is important for preventing dehydration, protecting against environmental stressors, and regulating the permeation of molecules. They also play a role in regulating skin cell turnover and inflammation.
Who can use Ceramides?
Ceramides in skincare can be beneficial for people of all ages and skin types, especially those with dry, dehydrated, or compromised skin. Ceramide-containing skincare products can help improve skin hydration, reduce water loss, and enhance the skin barrier function. Explore a range of ceramide-infused products designed to replenish and protect your skin's barrier. From moisturizers to serums, these formulations are tailored to address your skin's unique needs. Always conduct a patch test and introduce ceramide-rich products gradually to ensure your skin's happiness.
