Ceramides are natural lipid components contained in the human body. This component has multiple functions in the body and is particularly important for skin health. Approximately 40% of the outermost epidermal layer of the skin (the stratum corneum) is composed of natural ingredients called Ceramides. Therefore, Ceramides are key to protecting the health of the skin barrier.
The level of Ceramide (referring to its quality and content) in the skin can be affected by environmental factors that cause the skin to dry out, or by aging. Therefore, Ceramide is often added to skin care products to replenish Ceramide levels in the stratum corneum of the skin and help maintain skin health.
What is the difference between natural and synthetic Ceramides?
Ceramides are a type of lipid naturally found in the human body and skin, and can also be synthesized artificially. The quality and skin care effects of the two types of Ceramides are almost the same, and both can help improve the skin.
Ceramides can be absorbed from food (such as white rice, wheat and sweet potatoes), or you can directly use skin care products containing Ceramides, such as Cetaphil Amino Acid Revitalizing Purifying Mousse, which contains Ceramides (Ceramide), not only moisturizes the skin, but also protects the skin barrier.
What are the functions of Ceramides?
The extracellular lipids in the stratum corneum of the skin are one of the most important structural tissues in the skin epidermis and are composed of ceramides and other important molecules. Extracellular lipids not only support skin cells, but also help cells to tightly bond with each other to form a complete and stable skin barrier and maintain the integrity of the skin's stratum corneum. Ceramides help form a hydrophobic film to lock moisture in the skin.
The content and composition of Ceramide will change with age, thus affecting the skin barrier. To ensure a healthy and strong skin barrier, you can use toners, essences and moisturizers that can promote the proliferation of Ceramide (ceramide) and contain Ceramide (ceramide), which can increase and replenish the natural Ceramide (ceramide) content in the skin, making it last longer It helps the skin retain moisture while making the skin healthier, softer and smoother.
Ceramides Skin Care Benefits
●Repair the skin barrier: Using skin care products containing Ceramides can help replenish the Ceramide content in the skin to the proper level while supporting the skin barrier.
●Hydrating and locking in moisture: By improving the hydrophobic properties of the skin's extracellular matrix, Ceramides can prevent water loss from the epidermis and lock in moisture.
●Soothing skin: Ceramides (ceramides) can help the skin retain moisture, so skin care products containing ceramides (ceramides) can target dry skin problems and help relieve skin problems such as itchy skin and peeling skin.
