Re: Ceramides, What Are They?/Video

I found it to be a big boost in my AM and PM routines.  I'm very dry but not because of these milky essences.

Meadowfoam?  That's a new one (for me).

I haven't heard or thought of wheatgerm in decades.

I used to put it in a glass with milk and honey.  Yummo!

Can't do that anymore Smiley Sad  Too high in carbs.

Well that doesn't read right Smiley Surprised  I'm dry but my complexion doesn't know it partly because of the milky essences I use.

@Harpa & @SilleeMee  Thanks so much for what you've shared.  Between diet and my Skinn Divine Elixir Luminous Oil, and a little jojoba on occasion, I think I'm covered well enough that I could cancel the ceramide serum after all.

Garden of Wisdom puts it this way: "one of the best oils to prevent moisture loss, condtioning, excellent for dry and dehydrated skin...."

 

Has a long shelf life due to its long chain fatty acids.

 

A lovely, luxurious oil! And does not cost an arm and a leg!

The two top ingredients in the Skinn Divine Elixir Luminous Oil are Safflower Oil and Meadowform Oil.  Who knew!🤷‍♀️.

@JeanLouiseFinch  I've looked into Dimitri's oils several times. I think they must be very nice. So are a lot of more expensive blended oils out there; i.e., Rose Marie Swift.

 

In all my experimenting with oils, my top-top favorite is still rose hip seed.

Ditto this. And it comes in a dark bottle.
