July 15, 2024

Have you heard about ceramides? Do you know what they do and why they are essential for your skin? Let's dive into the world of skincare and explore the benefits of ceramides in your moisturisers.

What are Ceramides?

Ceramides are lipid molecules that are naturally found in skin cells. The place they are commonly seen in high concentrations are your epidermis, the outer layer of your skin. That said, they even make up around 30% of your epidermis.

What do Ceramides do?

Ceramides play crucial role in maintaining the skin's barrier function and help retain moisture- meaning that help keep skin hydrated. They also help protect against environmental aggressors and the entry of germs into your body, aiding in bettering the skins overall health. 

Why Do You Want Ceramides in Your Moisturisers?

You want ceramides in your moisturiser because these ceramides will help replenish your skin and support the skin's natural barrier function. When you didn't think it could get any better, ceramides also have anti-aging benefits. As people get older, their natural ceramide levels decrease. Applying a moisturiser with ceramides will replenish your skins' ceramide levels.
