Do you notice your skin is dry and sensitive? Does it irritate easily? Do you have redness, eczema, flakiness on your face...? But would you really like to have smooth, calm, and even skin? Have you heard about ceramides and all they can offer your skin? We’ll tell you.
Every day, your skin is exposed to different impacts, such as pollution, UV radiation, temperature changes, and stress... All of this weakens the skin barrier, which is why it is crucial for this barrier to be strong in order to successfully perform its protective function. What does this mean? That when our skin barrier weakens, it is more likely that your skin will be overexposed to these external agents (pollution, sun, cold...), leading to irritations, reactions, redness, and flakiness on your skin.
And how can I strengthen my skin barrier? With ceramides, and even better, with bioidentical ceramides, but let's go step by step. First... what are ceramides?
They are lipids that occur naturally in our body and represent approximately 50% of the composition of the skin, along with cholesterol and fatty acids. We could say that they are "warriors" that protect our skin from external agents and that together form that "wall or shield" (barrier) to prevent any element that could harm or alter our skin from penetrating.
At this point, you may be wondering: “… If ceramides are in our body, why do we need products or creams with ceramides to apply to our skin?” Because, as with collagen, elastin, etc., as we age, we lose ceramides, we see a reduction in their number, and at the same time, the quality of these ceramides declines, which also weakens our skin barrier. This is why it is so important to apply creams with ceramides to reinforce our skin barrier.
Now we know what ceramides are, but exactly what do they do, what are ceramides for? If we continue with the example of the “wall” that protects our skin, we could say that ceramides are the cement that holds the cells together to provide consistency to the skin barrier and thus protect our skin from external agents (as we mentioned), but not only that; they also help maintain moisture within the skin, preventing it from “escaping” through this “wall” and ensuring optimal hydration levels for our skin to appear healthy, nourished, elastic, and radiant.
Having said that, you might be wondering, “What will I notice on my skin if I apply creams with ceramides?” The truth is that having a healthy and strong skin barrier thanks to ceramides brings multiple benefits for your skin; you will notice…
In short, an even, smooth, luminous, firm, and calm skin that is super healthy.
Did you know that 1 in 2 people believe they have dry or sensitive skin? Are you one of them? This is of interest to you. Ceramides are indicated and work great for all those with sensitive, reactive skin, with irritations… and even for dry and dull skin, because, as we mentioned, ceramides protect our skin from external agents while maintaining moisture and hydration. Therefore, they are ideal for all those skin types that have a damaged or unbalanced skin barrier and experience irritations, redness, flakes, dryness, dull skin…
Precisely those sensitive, atopic, and reactive skin types tend to scrutinize what they apply to their skin to avoid redness, irritation, reactions… because they are more prone to it. In these cases, natural cosmetics are of great help, as being natural ingredients, our body recognizes and integrates them more easily. That’s why we say they are biocompatible ingredients. In the case of ceramides, it is important for these sensitive and reactive skin types to have bioidentical ceramides, that is, identical to those in our skin, because in this way, in addition to reinforcing the skin barrier to prevent external agents from damaging their skin, since they are ceramides identical to those already present internally, their skin recognizes them instantly, and the likelihood of rejection or reaction is practically nil. A true achievement of biotechnology!
And where can I find bioidentical ceramides? In our Ceramid Barrier Oil Serum, a 100% natural facial oil with anti-reaction technology that combines bioidentical ceramides, ectoine, and 10 plant oils to soothe and nourish the skin while reinforcing the skin barrier. A facial oil specifically developed for dry, sensitive, and atopic-prone skin.
It is a natural active ingredient produced by bio-fermentation and has the ability to reduce cellular stress that causes skin aging, as well as protecting it from UV radiation and environmental pollution (external agents). But that’s not all; this powerful active ingredient also accelerates the recovery of damaged skin, maintaining natural hydration, reducing redness and irritation, and providing stability to the protein structures of the cells. The perfect ally for bioidentical ceramides for sensitive and dry skin, don’t you think? Well, you can find this alliance in the Ceramid Barrier Oil Serum.
