Ceramides
Ceramides
Maintaining good levels of ceramides is vital to keeping your skin supple, as they make up around half of the lipids in the outer layer of skin and are crucial for a fully functional skin barrier (the outermost layer of skin). But the skin's ceramide content decreases with age, starting in your thirties, so replenishing with ceramide-enriched skincare will help keep your skin soft, supple and smooth. Without ceramides, the skin can't control moisture levels or adequately protect against damage caused by environmental aggressors such as UV and pollution.
Key Benefits
Protect and strengthen: Ceramides reinforce the skin barrier and help protect against external aggressors
Moisturise: They also help prevent the loss of essential moisture from the skin, keeping it soft and hydrated. They are found naturally in your skin and are therefore suitable for all skin types.
Smoothing: As a fundamental part of a healthy skin barrier and a protector against dehydration, they make the skin more supple, smoother and diminish the appearance of lines.
