Whether you’re always out and about running errands or spend many hours in air-conditioned rooms, seasonal and weather changes make your skin prone to moisture loss, irritants and sensitivity. You’ll have so much going on on your skin that will simply overwhelm you.
Skin, a protective barrier
Think of your skin as the façade of a mansion, built with sturdy bricks. It’s pleasant to look at, and it can offer the owners living in it shelter and safety from wind, rain and adversaries.
What are ceramides?
Ceramides constitute 50% of the lipids in the stratum corneum, the skin’s outermost layer.
Comfort your skin with oils in winter and fall
Most people experience skin dryness and irritation during winter and fall seasons. This is mainly a result of lack of sebum production, which leads to a decrease in the skin’s tolerance threshold. As such, replenishing your skin with moisture and an oil boost on a daily basis is essential when transitioning your skin from spring to fall and fall to winter.
Maintaining a healthy moisture and oil balance benefits the skin in many ways.
- Make skin heal itself to reverse aging
- Reduce asteatotic eczema and conditions such as itching, cracking and flaking, etc.
In short, ceramides can greatly turn your fall/winter itch into skin that is moisture rich.
