What are ceramides and how are they used for facial skin?

Ceramides play an important role in the protective function of the epidermis. They have excellent moisturizing properties, reduce dehydration of the skin and protect it from external influences. Biotechnologically produced ceramides used in our products are identical to lipids naturally present in the skin and filling the intercellular space.

Why do you need cosmetics with ceramides?

The need for ceramides appears as a result of lipid imbalance. This can happen for a number of internal and external reasons: Natural aging of the body. Unfortunately, as we age, there are fewer lipids in the epidermis, as a result of which the skin becomes dry, loses color and elasticity. Cosmetics with ceramides can restore lipid balance, slow down the aging. process and restore healthy looking skin.
Improper care. Lipid imbalance can be caused by too aggressive and improperly selected skin cleansers. Their use leads to dry skin, and ceramide creams are required for recovery.
Extreme environmental conditions. Lipid deficiency is often associated with extreme weather conditions: too bright sun, or, conversely, cold. The skin is also affected by strong winds or dry air.
Lack of fatty acids in the diet. Diet can worsen skin condition. Fat restrictions disrupt lipid balance.

Where can you find ceramides and what are their benefits?

Mainly, ceramides are found in plants - these are plant ceramides.
Over time, the skin loses its elasticity, firmness and density. The epidermis becomes thinner, and the stratum corneum becomes thicker. As a result, the skin surface becomes dry. In addition, age spots may appear on mature skin due to hereditary factors or after repeated exposure to the sun's rays. Skin loss of radiance is associated with thickening of the stratum corneum and slowing of cell renewal. Microcirculation slows down: the skin looks less fresh. Ceramides help to improve the structure of the epidermis, providing hydration and nutrition to the skin and reducing the appearance of signs of age-related changes.
