With a flurry of its reels flooding Instagram, super ingredient Ceramide has piqued the interest of many. Ceramide forms roughly 50% of the acid mantle and is responsible for the skin’s soft, supple appearance. Moreover, the fatty acid helps revive dry skin, averts pollutants or free radicals, and reverses signs of ageing.   

While Ceramide is indispensable to the health of all skin types, it plays a more significant role in restoring innately dry or parched skin.   

So, if you too struggle with dry or dehydrated skin, scroll ahead to learn how Ceramide is the missing ingredient in your daily skincare routine. 

Ceramide And Barrier Function  

To cite a borrowed analogy – think of your skin as a masonry wall where corneocytes (dead cells) act as the bricks and Ceramides serve as the mortar. Well, this ‘wall’ is the first line of defence for your body.  

So, when factors like continued sun exposure, ageing and harsh or abrasive skincare deplete Ceramide levels, it wreaks havoc on your skin.  

What Are The Different Types Of Ceramides? 

Ceramides are broadly classified under two heads – natural and synthetic. Natural Ceramide is found in your skin’s outermost layer, soy, and poultry.   

It is said that synthetic Ceramide is free from contaminants, more stable and features in a gamut of skincare formulations. 

Ceramides And Dry Skin – Why Is It Important?  

We know that dry skin loses moisture molecules rapidly (and somewhat dramatically), often becoming dehydrated in the process. This leads to scaly, flaky texture, premature signs of ageing and susceptibility to inflammation and flare-ups. Luckily, Ceramide prevents this problem, deeply rejuvenating dry skin.

1. Ceramide doubles down on hydration: As discussed earlier, Ceramide helps preserve your skin’s hydration. It forms a protective barrier on the dermis, preventing TEWL or transepidermal water loss – making it a must-have for folks with dry skin.

2. Ceramide helps alleviate inflammation: Dry skin is no stranger to redness, rashes, hives and other flare-ups. Luckily, Ceramide in your skincare mix addresses this problem. Not only does it ensure sustained hydration but also offsets inflammation.

3. Ceramide upholds the skin barrier: We know that Ceramide helps fortify the skin or lipid barrier. This barrier plays an important role in retaining moisture in the skin for its soft, supple appearance. This is why we strongly recommend the super ingredient for all dry-skin folks.

4. Ceramide reverses skin ageing: Perpetually dry skin can make way for premature fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet and more. The topical application of Ceramide ensures long-lasting moisturization and restores skin’s elasticity to fight these signs of ageing.

Other Benefits Of Ceramide 

By now, it's no secret that Ceramide is responsible for your skin’s integrity and structure. Aside from its many dry skin benefits, here are reasons to add the super ingredient into your daily regimen

1. Ceramide shields against environmental aggressors: Super ingredient Ceramide sits on the dermis, shielding the skin against harmful free radicals, pollutants, and UV rays. Due to this attribute, Ceramide infusions make for the best glowing skin products. 

2. Ceramide prevents acne and breakouts: Expert studies suggest that a weakened barrier leads to more episodes of acne and breakouts. This is where Ceramide comes into the picture. The super ingredient reinforces the skin barrier and is a good fit for folks with oily and acne-prone skin. 

What Is The Best Format To Use Ceramide?  

You can go to the nearest drug store (or supermarket) only to find Ceramides plastered all over the anti-ageing section in the skincare aisle. While the super ingredient is in several face washes, serums and masks – we recommend using Ceramide in a moisturizer format.

We firmly believe that your skin deserves the best and therefore, bring you Foxtale’s innovative Hydrating Moisturizer with Ceramide. This high-performing formula is the perfect fit for folks with dry or dehydrated skin. Scroll ahead to learn more about this beloved offering.
