Ceramides in Skincare

Skin contains fatty acids which are known as ceramides and they form part of the epidermis and are significantly important in the lipid barrier. The lipid barrier is a protective layer that not only protects your skin but also helps retain and maintain hydration and help with environmental stressors, stave off infection and retain it's youthful appearance. Unfortunately, as we age or our skin becomes damaged, one of the first things to take a hit are the fatty acids in our skin.

Many skincare products contain ceramides and there is a very good reason for that.

Ceramides in Skincare

Maintains and Strengthens Skin Barrier

As we've mentioned, ceramides are an essential part of your skins healthy functioning. by adding ceramides into your skincare routine, you can help your skin maintain its barrier whether it is diminished from age or environmental stressors. By preventing water loss, skin is more hydrated which results in plumper, smoother and softer skin.

Acne

If your skin is sensitive, dry or flaky it may be because your lipid barrier is damaged. In studies, dermatologists advise that ceramides may be able to treat acne especially if skin has a weak barrier.

Reduce Irritation

Because ceramides are soothing, they allow skin to feel less irritated and red. For those who suffer with dry flaky skin, ceramides can be a game changer.

Anti-Aging Properties

As we age, our skin loses hydration and the best way to keep your skin hydrated is by bolstering the lipid barrier. By locking in moisture, skins elasticity is improved, skin feels more supple and when you skin is plumper, fine lines and wrinkles are less apparent. Ceramides also help to prevent damage from environmental stressors, when skin is healthier, it is more resilient and bounces back from potential damage more quickly and could stave off damage more easily.
