Ceramides in cosmetics

Because they are a natural part of our skin, the products are ideal for all skin types – even for the most sensitive skin prone to cracking, or for oily skin.
In cosmetics, ceramides are used to supplement natural lipids, which are lost when the skin is exposed to the environment impacts, after using wrong products on our skin and during the process of natural aging. Ceramides restore moisture, strengthen the skin's natural barrier and help to protect it from damage. They are also particularly effective in tackling problematic skin prone to eczema. People who have eczema or psoriasis have fewer ceramides in the outer layer of the skin compared to people with normal skin. There are up to nine different types of ceramides named 1 to 9.
Unfortunately, ceramide levels decline especially with increasing age. This is one of the reasons why the skin becomes older, wrinkles appear and it fights with dehydration. Even some cholesterol-lowering drugs can also change the levels of lipids in the outer layer of the epidermis. Diet also plays a role in this process. In particular, one that does not include essential fatty acids can disrupt the skin's natural barrier and lead to moisture loss.
A certain amount of fat in the diet is important for healthy skin. Not surprisingly, people with very low fat often have dry, scaly skin due to the loss of ceramides and other lipids that help retain water. Dietary fatty acids can be found in nuts, seeds, avocados and oily fish such as salmon.
Ceramides may not be as well-known and sought after as hyaluronic acid or collagen, but they are one of the most effective and important ingredients in skin care. They occur naturally in the human body and are part of the top layer of skin. In it, they help to "seal" moisture, maintain its strength and flexibility.
This amazing moisturizer, along with fatty acids, cholesterol, oils, amino acids and other ingredients, forms a skin barrier. It protects us not only from loss of hydration, but also from damage, bacteria, or inflammation. It plays an important role in maintaining healthy and fresh skin. Damage to the skin's natural barrier can cause skin irritation, hypersensitivity and even allergic reactions.
If you suffer from scales, dry skin or itching, ceramides will certainly help. The use of ceramide-containing products helps to replace lipids that have been lost due to constant dehydration, the negative effects of the environment, but also aging. They are important for every skin type, even with acne or the sensitive one, younger or older. With increasing age, the production of ceramides in the skin decreases and so does skin's ability to retain water. It naturally dries, loses its strength, wrinkles increase, it is more sensitive and loses a youthful appearance. In addition, dehydrated skin is prone to various damages and, in turn, damaged cells to the formation of pigment irregularities. Ceramides are extremely important for skin health and therefore need to be actively supplemented. Strengthen your skin with ceramide products and ensure its health and youthful appearance.
