Ceramides

Ceramides occur naturally in our skin and are lipids that surround and wrap around your skin cells - so you could almost say it's like the mortar between bricks. Ceramides are found in the upper skin layer and make up nearly 50% but sadly just like collagen the body doesn't keep making it for the skin leading to dry and even irritated skin. The benefit of using products that contain ceramides is you're strengthening the healthy support system for your skin cells. Ceramides play a massive part in keeping our skin cells healthy, hydrated and protected. When your skin cells are well supported, your skin barrier stays healthy; you have less irritation whilst strengthening the skin's ability to hold moisture which helps with 'the holy grail' - hydration.
