Ceramides: essential allies for healthy, protected skin
Ceramides are lipids naturally present in the skin, accounting for approximately 50% of the skin barrier's composition. These molecules play a key role in maintaining skin hydration by acting as a cement between epidermal cells. They help prevent water loss and strengthen the skin barrier.
Applying ceramides in skincare helps maintain optimal hydration and improves the skin's overall texture.
Over time, the skin's production of ceramides decreases, which contributes to skin aging, increased dehydration, and a reduction in the skin's apparent suppleness and elasticity.
Using products enriched with ceramides helps compensate for this loss and restore the skin's lipid balance. By strengthening the skin barrier, ceramides help preserve hydration and protect the skin.
For optimal results, first apply a serum to clean skin, followed by a cream that strengthens and maintains hydration. By following these steps, you provide your skin with long-lasting hydration, while reducing the visible signs of aging.
