Ceramides are lipids, fats, naturally present in our skin.
More than 50% of our skin barrier is made up of these molecules, which work to protect the skin from environmental stressors, keeping it intact and healthy.
What are ceramides used for?
If you think of our skin cells as building blocks, you can think of ceramides as the “cement,” which helps form a protective layer to prevent moisture loss, damage from environmental stress, and also keep skin supple.
Ceramides are very important for the well-being of our skin because:
- help maintain a healthy skin barrier
- prevent water loss, for soft and hydrated skin
- protect against external aggressions
- contribute to cell regeneration
- keep the skin elastic
- reduce wrinkles and fine lines on the skin
Why include ceramides in skincare?
The skin naturally produces ceramides, but as time passes, production slows down due to age and damage caused to the skin by the sun's rays, wind, cold and pollution.
This can make your skin barrier more fragile and cause damage such as:
- Dry skin: The skin, deprived of its natural ability to retain water, appears dry, flaky and can cause itching.
- Irritability: The weakened skin barrier becomes more vulnerable to external aggressions, promoting redness and irritation.
- Premature skin aging: Loss of elasticity and hydration accelerates the aging process, with the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
What are the benefits of a cosmetic with ceramides?
Choosing a cosmetic with ceramides helps you improve the appearance and health of your skin. Thanks to ceramides you have:
- Prolonged hydration: They form a protective film that prevents the skin from dehydrating, keeping it soft and elastic for a long time.
- Damage Repair: They help repair the skin barrier damaged by external factors such as pollution, cold and wind.
- Prevention of premature aging: They reduce transepidermal water loss, slowing down the signs of aging and improving skin texture.
- Weather Protection: Creates a shield against free radicals and other environmental aggressors, preserving skin's youthfulness.
Are ceramides an anti-aging ingredient?
Ceramides play a vital role in keeping skin hydrated and protected. That's why they are a key ingredient in anti-aging treatments:
- Strengthen the skin barrier: Like bricks in a wall, ceramides hold skin cells together, creating a protective barrier that prevents water loss and irritants from entering.
- Improve elasticity: By stimulating collagen production, ceramides help reduce the depth of wrinkles and improve skin texture.
- Protect from free radicals: They act as a barrier against damage caused by free radicals, slowing down the aging process.
Ceramide serums are formulated with a high concentration of these precious lipids, ensuring intensive and long-lasting action.
Thanks to their light texture and ability to penetrate deeply, ceramide serums are ideal for those who want younger, more luminous skin.
