Sensitive skin has a weak self-protecting barrier function, so it is important to replenish your skin’s natural oil during all four seasons of the year to strengthen the stratum corneum’s barrier function. With increasing age, the moisture and oil retention function of elderly people’s skin is not as strong as it was in their youth. Therefore, it is prone to dryness, itching, and peeling. When necessary, an appropriate amount of lipids should be supplemented according to circumstances. Needless to say, it is important for those with dry skin not to neglect to replenish their skin’s natural oil, even in summer.
The type of lipids that your skin needs should operate close to the primary hydrolipidic layer, such as ceramide. Cermaide not only strengthens the skin’s defense system, it also removes harmful free radicals and particles of contamination while retaining the moisture that is beneficial to your skin. It simultaneously helps skin to maintain ph balance under high temperatures, which fights the emergence of dryness and wrinkles.
