What do ceramides do for your skin?

What are Ceramides?

Ceramides is a lipid that makes up about 50% of your skin and plays a major role in the function and appearance of your skin barrier. Think of it as the glue that holds skin cells together to form a functional barrier. The healthier this barrier is, the better it protects your skin and even more effectively keeps it hydrated.

Why are ceramides so important?

As the largest organ in the body, the skin is the first line of defense against toxins and external threats. As one of the most important components of the skin, it has the functions of maintaining the skin barrier, moisturizing, anti-aging, whitening and treating diseases. In recent years,pure ceramide has even become a key ingredient in many skin care products.

Aging and sun damage reduce the effectiveness of natural ceramides. Eventually, as they become depleted, the skin barrier weakens, leading to dry, unhealthy skin. Ceramide-rich skin care products help support and balance the skin and reduce transepidermal water loss, with continued benefits even after its levels drop.

Main effects of ceramide

1. Barrier effect: Experimental studies have shown that it plays a very important role in maintaining the barrier function of the skin.

2. Adhesion effect: Experimental studies have shown that the level of ceramide content is directly related to the degree of skin dryness. After use, it can significantly enhance the adhesion between keratinocytes, improve the degree of skin dryness, and reduce skin desquamation.

3. Moisturizing effect: It has a strong ability to associate water molecules and maintain skin moisture by forming a mesh structure in the stratum corneum. Therefore, it has the effect of maintaining skin moisture.

4. Anti-aging effect: It can improve skin dryness, desquamation, roughness and other conditions; at the same time, it can increase the thickness of the epidermal stratum corneum, improve the skin's water holding capacity, reduce wrinkles, enhance skin elasticity, and delay skin aging.

5. Cell effect: Experimental studies have shown that it has cell functions such as regulating cell growth and variation and inducing cell apoptosis.

Application of ceramide

• Daily chemicals: Using skin-rejuvenating essence cosmetics containing ceramide can enhance the skin's anti-aging function, keep the skin elastic, smooth and delicate, and reduce the formation of facial wrinkles.

• Medical: In the process of epidermal keratinocyte culture, it can induce apoptosis. And it plays a wide and important role in the growth, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and damage of cells.

• Food industry: Many health foods developed using some physiological functions of ceramide have the effects of inhibiting blood pressure rise, activating immunity, hindering lipase activity, and inhibiting cancer cell proliferation.
