A guide to the under-the-radar ingredient, including how it works and what products will help you replenish it

Just like fat makes food taste better, ceramides make your skin better, keeping it well-moisturized and looking fresh. And get this — your skin naturally makes them. The body is a magical thing … until it’s not.
If all this grout stuff isn’t for you, think of ceramides as magnets. That’s the metaphor used by Karelle Messner, vice-president of Global Skincare Product Development at Elizabeth Arden. “These moisture magnets bond the skin cells together to create a barrier within the skin’s surface … creating a protective layer that plumps the skin and locks in moisture.
But how do ceramides help my skin, exactly? When your skin barrier doesn’t have enough fat, the hydration and moisture that keeps your face plump, supple, and comfortable can just evaporate into the atmosphere. There’s even an ominous-sounding name for this: TEWL, or transepidermal water loss. It leaves skin dehydrated, and the worst part is that you’re probably already dry , since that’s how your skin gets dehydrated in the first place.
The professionals seem to agree that ceramides are pretty much all upside, no matter your routine. Messner says “ceramides can be applied day or night, typically in the serum step of your regimen. They can also be used throughout the day.” So slather them all over your face any time, any place … and don’t forget your body, lips, and hair.
