Ceramides

Ceramides for Skin

Ceramides occur naturally in the skin as lipids, and are essential for maintaining a healthy skin barrier. Their role is to help lock in vital moisture and protect against environmental aggressors to maintain the overall health of the skin. Furthermore, ceramides play an essential part in skincare products such as ceramide moisturisers, serums, creams and eye creams to assist the skin in the same way.

Ceramide Moisturiser

Ceramide moisturisers and creams are a great choice for dry and dehydrated skin conditions as they expertly replenish and restore the skin’s natural moisture barrier. When this natural moisture barrier is functioning well, it helps to prevent epidermal moisture loss which means fewer lines and a more hydrated, supple skin appearance. When the skin’s moisture levels feel compromised, ceramides help to address sensitivity, flakiness and dryness. In addition, when ceramides are formulated into ceramide creams or moisturisers, your skin also benefits from the emollient base of the product which nourishes and replenishes. Try the Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide Lift and Firm Night Cream to nourish and deeply moisturise your skin whilst you sleep.

Are Ceramides Good For Oily Skin?

Oily skin types may prefer the lightweight texture and feel of ceramide serums & treatments rather than a cream, as the serum is readily absorbed and won’t add extra oil to the skin. Not only are ceramides good for replenishing moisture and strengthening the skin’s natural barrier in oily skin, they can also help balance sebum and build skin’s resilience. 

Are Ceramides Comedogenic?

Ceramides themselves are non-comedogenic, so it is important to check the formulation to ensure the ingredient list is free from pore clogging ingredients. Ceramides are often combined with Hyaluronic acid, Salicylic acid & BHA or emollient based ingredients to further enhance their efficacy. As long as the formulation is free from petroleum based ingredients, talc, mineral oil, perfume and artificial colours then it will likely keep your pores clear and your skin’s moisture levels well balanced.

Are Ceramides Vegan?

Ceramides are a great choice of ingredient for vegans, especially if the skin is depleted of hydration and moisture. Ceramides are vegan, free from any animal derived product however, the skincare product formulation may not be. It is important if you are vegan to check the full ingredient list to ensure you are comfortable with all the ingredients used to make the product. Try popular vegan ceramide skin products including the Alpha-H Vitamin E Serum with 1% Ceramide Complex, ASAP Ultimate Hydration and the best-selling Mukti Organics Queen of the Night Creme.

No matter your preference, incorporating ceramide-based products into your skincare routine can help promote a more resilient, hydrated and nourished complexion.
