Ceramides
In winter, it is important to strengthen the protective barrier of dry skin.
Dry skin is very afraid of external influences – the sun, frost, wind, polluted air, temperature changes. And our task is to help her, to strengthen her protective barrier. How to do it? Use products with ceramides. This subclass of lipids is an integral part of the skin’s protective barrier that prevents moisture from evaporating. If there is not enough ceramides, the structure of the hydrolipidic mantle is broken and moisture leaves the skin surface. So we recommend replenishing the supply of ceramides from the outside.
Healthy-Food Choice: Moisturizing face and body lotion for dry to very dry skin CeraVe with 3 essential skin ceramides. The lotion strengthens the protective barrier of the skin and moisturizes it for 24 hours.

Antioxidants
Antioxidants must be included in the diet for health and beauty.
In honor of their miraculous properties, odes continue to be composed – antioxidants neutralize the action of free radicals, resist the oxidation of skin cells, and slow down the aging process. This fairly representative class of substances includes vitamins (A, C, E and others), and plant polyphenols (tannins, anthocyanins, resveratrol), and minerals (primarily selenium), and even enzymes. All of them are necessary for the skin of any type, but dry – especially.
Healthy-Food Choice: revitalizing eye contour cream, CeraVe. In addition to ceramides and hyaluronic acid, it contains tocopherol (vitamin E) and niacinamide (vitamin B3). The cream moisturizes the skin, reduces the visibility of bags, neutralizes dark circles under the eyes. Great for pre-makeup application.
