Effects of ceramide on skin

Ceramide is a lipid found naturally in the skin. Ceramides form a water-resistant barrier on the surface of the skin. Not only can they help the skin lock in moisture, but below we will introduce to you in detail the role of ceramides on the skin!

Effects of ceramide on skin

Ceramide can significantly increase the electrical conductivity of the skin and has a strong ability to bind water molecules. It can form a network structure through the stratum corneum to maintain the moisture of our skin, thereby playing a role in retaining skin moisture. It is a very powerful moisturizing product, but the hydrating effect is not strong.

What does ceramide do?

1. Anti-aging effect: During the aging process of the skin, lipid synthesis decreases and the ceramide content in the stratum corneum decreases, which manifests as dry, flaking, rough, and dull skin. The use of ceramide can increase the ceramide content in the stratum corneum of the skin, which can improve symptoms such as dryness, flaking, and roughness of the skin. At the same time, ceramide can increase the thickness of the stratum corneum of the skin, improve the skin's water holding capacity, reduce wrinkles, increase skin elasticity, and delay skin aging.

2. Moisturizing effect: Ceramide is the main component of the lipids in the stratum corneum of the skin. It can help repair the skin barrier and make the skin soft and shiny. With age, ceramide gradually decreases, and the skin will become dull and dry when it lacks it.

3. Barrier effect: If there is enough ceramide in the skin, it is enough to resist external stimulation to the skin. However, if there is a lack of ceramide, the skin will lose its natural protective function and will have no defense against all external physical, biological and other damages. For example: skin is more likely to get sunburned when exposed to the sun, and skin is more likely to get red when the weather gets cold, etc.
