With so many celebs sharing their skincare routines, I found one common skincare ingredient that Bollywood is singing praises of and it is Ceramides. Both Alia Bhatt and Mira Kapoor swear by ceramide-infused skincare products and their skin is thriving because of it.
So what exactly are ceramides and why should you add them to your skincare routine? I have tested out this amazing skincare ingredient over a few months now and I am with Alia and Mira on this.
Ceramide skincare is absolutely essential for healthy skin. Here’s everything you need to know about it.
What Are Ceramides In Skincare?
Ceramides are molecules a.k.a building blocks of the skin and they are naturally produced by the body. Ceramide-infused skincare products are basically made to help moisturise and replenish your skin with topical man-made ceramides, especially in case your skin barrier is compromised. Ceramide skincare is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Why Does Alia Bhatt & Mira Kapoor Love It?
Alia Bhatt and Mira Kapoor absolutely love using ceramide skincare products, specifically ceramide face moisturisers. Ceramide creams help heal and strengthen their skin barrier and it is a simple moisturising step that works in all weather conditions.
Mira Kapoor turned to ceramide cream when she was experiencing irritation from using a new retinol skincare product and it helped instantly.
Alia Bhatt noticed that ceramide toners and ceramide moisturisers helped moisturise both dry and oily areas on her face as she has combination skin. It even came through for her during pregnancy when her skin was sensitive.
When To Use Ceramide Skincare Products?
Ceramide skincare products can be used daily. But it is essential to use a ceramide moisturiser at least thrice a week if your routine has skincare actives like vitamin C, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and retinol.
When I was facing a massive breakout and excessive dryness, my regular trusted moisturisers weren’t making my skin feel comfortable either. That’s when I tried a ceramide cream and the inflammation instantly calmed down.
I used the Foxtale Ceramide Supercream Smoothening Moisturizer and it is truly amazing.
Ceramide Skincare Products To Try Out
Here are some more ceramide-infused skincare products that I tried which are worth the hype and deserve a spot in your skincare arsenal.
Alia Bhatt’s favourite ceramide moisturiser is the D’You In My Defence. It is a lightweight and fast-absorbing face cream that makes my skin super soft and supple.
The POPxo After Sun Soother Sun Lotion is infused with ceramides and it is my go-to face cream for the summer because it gives my skin a matte finish.
The Moms Co. Natural Ceramide Face Toner has helped heal my skin and gives me instant relief from skin irritation.
Ever since I’ve added ceramides to my skincare routine, my skin has been behaving and I literally have reduced skin troubles. No wonder both Alia and Mira love ceramide skincare so much!
