What are Ceramides?

As temperatures drop and the air gets drier, your skin’s natural ceramides can take a hit, leading to a dry, flaky, or irritated complexion. No one wants that! This is where adding ceramides to your skincare routine comes in handy.


Think of ceramides as the glue that holds your skin cells together. 🧱 They’re naturally found in the outer layer of your skin and make up about 50% of it. Their main job? Keeping your skin barrier strong and locked in with moisture, so your skin stays soft, smooth, and protected from dryness.

      Answers to Questions

      Ceramides are natural fats found in your skin that help form a barrier to lock in moisture and protect against environmental damage. They’re essential for maintaining smooth, hydrated, and healthy skin, especially as we age or in colder months.

      Absolutely! Ceramides are excellent for replenishing moisture and restoring your skin’s barrier, making them perfect for combating dryness and flakiness, especially in the fall and winter.

      Yes! Ceramides are gentle and calming, making them ideal for sensitive skin. They help repair the skin’s natural barrier, reducing irritation and sensitivity over time.

      Definitely! Ceramides pair well with other hydrating and repairing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and niacinamide.

      You can use ceramide products daily, both morning and night. They’re great for maintaining a healthy skin barrier and keeping your skin hydrated throughout the day and while you sleep.

      Check the ingredient list on the product packaging. Ceramides are usually listed as "ceramide" followed by a number (like Ceramide 1, Ceramide 2), or sometimes they might just be labeled as "ceramide complex."

      You might start to notice improvements in skin hydration and barrier function within a few weeks of regular use. For more visible changes like reduced fine lines, it can take a bit longer, usually around 6-8 weeks, depending on your skin’s needs and overall routine.
