Phytoceramides
What is a ceramide?
Ceramides work by locking moisture into your skin. This causes your skin to plump and have a fuller look. This minimizes the appearances of wrinkles.
How do phytoceramides relate to collagen?
Ceramides naturally stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. More collagen makes your skin appear fuller, younger and more plump.
But what is the science behind why phytoceramides work?
Phytoceramides contain lipids that are similar to the natural lipids that are already in our skin. As we age we naturally loose lipids in the skin surface. This causes us to loose elasticity and for the skin to sink and sallow forming wrinkles and crow feet. By taking phytoceramides we are replacing the amount of lipids available in the skin allowing our skin to plump and become fuller.
