Have you ever felt frustrated when using skincare products but not seeing any results? One of the reasons for this could be a lack of understanding of the skin cell turnover process. In this blog, we will explain the important role that natural human-type ceramides play in this skin renewal process and provide tips to promote it.

What is Skin Cell Turnover?

First of all, do you know what skin cell turnover is? It is the skin’s natural cycle in which new skin cells are formed while old skin is shed. This process normally occurs about every 28 days, but as we age, environmental damage, UV rays, and various lifestyle factors can slow down this turnover process. This delay can lead to dullness, wrinkles, and dryness, resulting in the appearance of age spots, fine lines, and other signs of aging. So this is why proper and continuous skincare can help regulate the turnover cycle and support skin renewal. Now, let’s look at how natural human-type ceramides in our products can affect the skin cell turnover process.

Improved Moisture Retention

As we have mentioned in a previous blog, our natural human-type ceramides are designed to mimic the ceramides that are naturally found in human skin. This allows them to penetrate deep into the skin and effectively replenish areas where ceramides are lacking. When the skin is filled with ceramides, it forms a protective layer that prevents moisture loss, keeping the skin plump, elastic, and healthy. Improved moisture retention prevents skin from drying out and facilitates smooth turnover. When the skin retains sufficient moisture, old skin cells are properly shed, making it easier for new cells to come to the surface. Consequently, the skin's texture improves, and it looks clearer, leading to healthier and more beautiful skin.

Enhanced Barrier Function

Natural human-type ceramides not only keep the skin hydrated but also strengthen the skin's barrier function. The barrier plays a crucial role in protecting against external factors such as pollutants, allergens, and irritants. By enhancing this barrier, ceramides help the skin resist damage and minimize the effects of external stressors. When the skin is well-protected, the process of shedding old cells and growing new ones works smoothly, creating a healthy environment for new skin cells to glow properly.

In this way, incorporating our natural human-type ceramides, such as Pure Ceramide Concentrate and Ceramide Moisture Milk, into your everyday skincare routine is an effective way to promote skin cell turnover. With continuous use, you can achieve improved moisture retention and enhanced barrier function. This will help your skin renew itself more effectively, leading to healthier and more radiant skin over time.
