1. What is ceramide?
Like hyaluronic acid, ceramide is the best ingredient in moisturizers. And Ceramide is the main component of the stratum corneum of the epidermis layer of human skin. And skin cells and comprises about 50% of the epidermis.
Essentially, it is an adhesive-like component that binds skin cells together and keeps skin barriers intact. So It locks moisture into your skin, which helps prevent dryness and irritation.
2. Why do we need it?
Aestura AtoBarrier 365 Lotion 150ml
Skin naturally consists of ceramides, but these are lost over time. This can make your skin dull and dry, so you can minimize this effect by supplementing your skin with extra ceramides.
Among cosmetics, ceramide body lotion(oily skin, dry skin) and face cream help reduce dryness and sensitivity of your skin.
3. Effects
(1) Skin barrier protection (Main function)
Loss of ceramide due to aging, exfoliating agents and abuse of soap can damage the stratum corneum or skin barrier and allow bacteria to penetrate. It helps create barriers that prevent permeability, helping the barrier to be healthy and functional.
(2) Moisturizing (Main function)
It prevents dryness by blocking moisture and preventing moisture loss through the creation of healthy skin barriers.
(3) Skin Protection (Sub-function)
It protects the skin from chemicals and environmental pollution that cause irritation to the skin.
(4) Aging Prevention (Sub-function)
Skin aging are not only caused by collagen and elastin loss, but also by the collapse of skin barriers. Therefore, Ceramide has an anti-aging effect by moisturizing and strengthening the skin barrier.
4. Side effects
Ceramides, which are used in cosmetics, are synthetic ceramides, which do not directly affect cells due to their large particles. However, synthetic ceramide can affect people with skin problems, so caution is needed.
The way to prevent side effects is to apply it on the inside of the forearm in the size of a thumbnail for 24 hours, and check that there is no skin problem. It’s okay to use red spots or if you don’t feel itchy after checking.
