Introducing yourself to first-time visitors. ______

Skin that brightens your face can only be produced if you are happy in mind and body.

To prevent the condition from worsening, I would especially recommend that people with sensitive skin have it checked.

I I suffered from atopic dermatitis caused by cosmetics , and I was suffering mentally and physically every day.

After that, I worked in product development at a major cosmetics company, and learned why my skin had become rough.

I also learned about the petroleum system in cosmetics. I'm confused... I'm confused when I see the surprising irritating and ineffective ingredients in organic and additive-free cosmetics...

High-quality skincare that's also good for the environment. Utilizing the ancient wisdom of coexisting with nature, and incorporating modern wisdom, let's create FRMA! From Ancient Times To Now the first one is cosmetics ♪

For a brighter look and a brighter life. FRMA cosmetics are a tool to help you live a happy life . This blog will explore hints for living each day in a happy mood .

Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid

______________________________________ ______________________________________

FRMA prevents rough skin and is very good for rough skin. I would like to talk about hyaluronic acid, which is often compared to the five types of ceramides that FRMA is particular about.

Both ceramides and hyaluronic acid are ingredients that play an important role in moisturizing the skin, but they have different properties and functions.

hyaluronic acid

structure A type of mucopolysaccharide

Location Present mainly in the dermis

Features High water retention capacity (1g can hold 6 liters of water) Water-soluble and easily absorbed into the skin

Main effects Retaining skin moisture Maintaining firmness and elasticity Prevents wrinkles and sagging

Ceramide

structure A type of sphingolipid Location Present mainly in the stratum corneum (outermost layer of skin) Features Responsible for the skin's barrier function Lipid-soluble and easily stays on the skin surface Main effects Strengthening the skin's barrier function Preventing water evaporation Protection from external stimuli

Recommendations by skin type

______________________________________ ______________________________________

Oily skin: hyaluronic acid

Suitable for skin that is oily but lacks moisture

Dry skin: Ceramide

Strengthens the barrier function, effectively retaining moisture and protecting against external stimuli

Combination skin: Ceramide

Adjust the amount to suit your skin type. Both ceramides and hyaluronic acid are important for skin health, but ceramides play a more important role in skin barrier function.

Why ceramides have a barrier function

______________________________________ ______________________________________

Ceramides are found in the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin) and account for approximately 50% of the intercellular lipids.

As for moisture retention, it is not the dermis, which is difficult to reach with cosmetics, but Ceramides help keep the skin hydrated by retaining moisture in the stratum corneum, where cosmetics can reach easily.

Ceramides also protect against external stimuli by strengthening the barrier function that protects the skin from external stimuli (dryness, UV rays, allergens, etc.) by bringing cells into close contact with each other.

Prevents moisture loss! Ceramides prevent moisture loss from the skin, preventing dryness.

Since hyaluronic acid is found mainly in the dermis layer, I think it would be better to supplement it at a plastic surgery or beauty clinic rather than using cosmetics (this is a matter of preference).

conclusion

 ______________________________________  ______________________________________

When it comes to barrier function, ceramides play a more direct and important role: they work in the outermost layer of the skin, where they are responsible for retaining moisture and protecting it from external stimuli.

On the other hand, hyaluronic acid supports skin health primarily through its ability to retain moisture, but its direct barrier function is not as strong as that of ceramides.

This is why FRMA contains five types of ceramides!
