Proper hydration with Ceramides
How do Ceramides help your skin?
Ceramides are a common ingredient in a lot of skin care products and many skin care experts can’t stop raving about this compound. If you’re not sure what ceramides are, don’t worry. We are here to fill you in on what exactly ceramides are and how they can aid us in our quest for problem free skin.
Ceramides are fats or lipids whose function is to keep the structure of your skin cells intact and seal everything into your skin cells. It protects your skin by ensuring all essential compounds and hydration is kept inside. Even though ceramides are naturally produced in the skin, the production of ceramides decreases as we age and hence the importance of adding ceramides to your skin care routine.
Ceramides help improve skin barrier function and hence increase resistance to aging related dryness. They are an intense and potent moisturizer since they trap all the hydration inside the skin cells. This helps reduce the severity of conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It also improves the overall quality of skin by reducing the appearance of roughness, wrinkles, irritation, redness, and other signs of visible dehydration.
In addition to their emollient properties which leave skin softer and plumper with less signs of wrinkles and lines, ceramides also protect the skin from environmental stressors and pollution. They act as agents that keep foreign invaders out of your skin and hence ensure that it is more resilient in the face of toxins.
The many benefits of Ceramides
Ceramides are also a natural compound found in hair cuticles. They work to hold the scales of the hair cuticle together which results in smooth and lustrous hair. With a reduction in ceramides, hair becomes dry and coarse. Ceramides make hair healthier and reduce breakage while immediately improving the appearance of hair. They also reduce scalp conditions which cause dryness and flakiness like dandruff.
