CERAMIDES FOR A STRONG SKIN BARRIER
An essential active ingredient for the regeneration and protection of the skin.
Ceramides are natural lipids that play an important role in building and maintaining the skin barrier. They prevent moisture loss, protect the skin from external influences and ensure a smooth, supple complexion.
The key facts at a glance
- Protecting the skin barrier: Ceramides form a protective layer that preserves the skin from moisture loss and harmful environmental influences.
- Skin regeneration: They support the skin's natural regeneration by strengthening the barrier function and repairing damage.
- Moisture storage: Ceramides help store moisture in the skin and so ensure long-lasting hydrated skin.
What are ceramides?
Ceramides are lipids that occur naturally in the skin and form an important component of the outer skin layer. They act as a "glue" between the skin cells and ensure that the skin barrier stays intact and moisture is locked in. With increasing age or due to environmental influences, the ceramide content in the skin decreases, which can lead to dryness and skin irritation.
How ceramides work on the skin
Ceramides, which are also contained in many of our skincare products for body care and intimate care, work in various ways to keep the skin healthy and hydrated:
Strengthening the skin barrier: Ceramides form a protective layer that locks moisture into the skin while keeping harmful substances out.
Preventing moisture loss: Thanks to their moisture-retaining properties, ceramides ensure that the skin stays hydrated and does not dry out.
Regenerating damaged skin: They help restore the skin's natural barrier function by repairing damaged skin cells and making the skin more resilient.
Soothing the skin: Ceramides relieve irritation and protect sensitive skin from external influences, so it is worth choosing products with these ingredients when you buy body care for your regular routine.
How ceramides work in the intimate area
Ceramides also offer important benefits in the intimate area, as they protect the sensitive skin and provide it with intensive moisture. They strengthen the natural skin barrier, which prevents moisture loss and protects the skin from external irritants. This is especially important in areas that can easily be irritated by shaving, friction or other factors.
The regenerative properties of ceramides support the healing of the skin and soothe sensitive areas. As a result, ceramide-containing care in the intimate area contributes to a supple and well-cared-for complexion, while irritation and dryness are relieved.
The benefits of ceramides
1. Strengthen the skin barrier and protect against moisture loss.
2. Support the skin's regeneration and repair damage.
3. Keep the skin hydrated and supple.
4. Relieve skin irritation and soothe sensitive skin.
How to use ceramides correctly
You can include ceramides, like those contained in our Sets, in your skincare routine every day. Proceed as follows:
Daily use: Ceramide-containing products should be used morning and evening to protect and regenerate the skin consistently.
Apply after cleansing: Apply ceramides after cleansing so that they can penetrate the clean skin and develop their full effect.
Combine with moisturiser: Also use a moisturising cream to seal the ceramides into the skin and further support the moisture barrier.
Use regularly: Regular use is crucial to strengthen the skin barrier permanently and prevent moisture loss in the long term.
