By now the world may have fully convinced you that age is behind all your skin woes. This, however, may just be a half-truth. Because age is not always the sole culprit! Infact, wrinkles, dryness, crepiness and sensitivity may actually be those tell-tale signs of a compromised beauty barrier!
Your skin’s outermost layer acts as its first line of defense and protects the skin's inner layers from
daily stressors & environmental aggressors. Its job is to let the VIPs in
(hydration, moisture, nutrients) and the riffraff out
(pollutants, sun damage, allergens).
In fact, dermatologists often compare the skin’s barrier to a brick wall. And like a brick wall has individual bricks, arranged in a grid, held together by mortar — the same is true for your skin barrier. Though here, the “bricks” themselves are tiny cells made up of proteins and lipids — ceramides, fatty acids, squalene, etc. — acting as the mortar.
Wonder why we are bent on giving you the low-down on your skin barrier?
Well, turns out, it doesn’t take a lot to damage it—unlike, say a brick wall! And AGE ALONE ISN’T THE ONLY THING THAT MAY CAUSE THE LEAK!
Whether you live in polluted urban areas or face frequent weather changes—from the scorching deserts of Arizona let’s say, to coastal Florida even—or indulge in hot showers way too often (confession: us!) your beauty barrier could be compromised!
1. Phyto-Ceramides:
What we already know is that these are Gluten-Free Plant-Based Ceramides.
And unlike synthetic ceramides, they are composed of natural ingredients similar to those found in the skin's epidermis layer (including digalactosyl diglycerides and omega fatty acids).
What makes Ceramide 2, Ceramide 3 and Ceramide 8 special is how similar they are to skin ceramides.
(These plant-based fatty acids serve as a replacement for the natural fats found in the skin and are essential in maintaining a
smooth, youthful complexion).
Various Clinal Studies have proven how these plant-based beauty boosters are a powerful ingredient in skincare known for their ability to
enhance skin hydration, texture, and appearance.
BONUS:They are free from harmful additives such as GMOs, gluten, protein, and preservatives, making them a clean and safe choice for all skin types.
