Why Skincare With Ceramides Is Essential For The Dry And Sensitive Skin

Below is a brief observation of what they are, how they work on your skin, and an overview of Luksha Cosmetics products with Ceramides.

WHAT ARE CERAMIDES?

Ceramides are the lipid substances that are naturally found in the stratum corneum (the top layer of your epidermis). And what is most important - they represent the main intercellular lipids of our skin.

HOW DO THEY WORK?

Let`s have a look at the composition of the lipid “matrix” of the healthy stratum corneum. There are about 50% Ceramides, 25% Cholesterol, and 25% Fatty Acids and phytosphingosine. That means that a lack of main ingredient of this “cocktail”, ceramides, is clearly associated with skin dryness and the weak skin barrier. In addition, such condition of the skin (with poor content of ceramides) is prone to loose the moisture, which results in dehydrated, flaky, and itchy skin. Thus, ceramides of your facial cream replenish this specific need of your skin and restores its natural barrier.

The proper working lipid barrier of your skin protects the living layers of the epidermis against microbes and pollution, as well as slowing down the trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL).
