CERAMIDES FOR SHOPPING GUIDE

CERAMIDES FOR SHOPPING GUIDE

Why are ceramides the hero of a skincare routine?

Ceramides are wonderful for holding cells together and creating a protective barrier in the skin, which prevent the entry of infections and allergens. It also helps preserve the skin’s fluid. They not only improve skin health but also maintain normal functioning.

 What should shoppers look for?

Consider your skin type

While ceramides are mainly natural and can go well with all skin types, I recommend picking a formulation rhyming your skin. Avoid pore-blocking creams if your skin is oily. Use oil-free or lightweight products.

Lasting period

Some ceramide products require reapplication after every three hours. But I advise my clients to opt for those that last up to 24 hours and can keep the skin’s moisture for around 48 hours without compromising results. Why are ceramides the hero of a skincare routine?

Objective product recommendations

I recommend Dr. Jart’s product because it has among the best ceramides for enhanced skin beauty. It contains five ceramides and Sodium hyaluronate for plump and supple skin. The good news is that you can use it as a toner, then apply a thick moisturizer or simply have it as a lightweight moisturizer.
