I've been using Isomers Ceramide serum for years. I don't live in a cold weather climate. I used to have a lot of redness which is now gone and I haven't had to use a moisturizer for many years.

@SilleeMee @Good tip! I can honestly say I never thought about using foil. thanks!

Or just buy CeraVe products at the drugstore. CeraVe moisturizers are highly recommended by WebMD for their ceramides and other ingredients plus their packaging. No need for foil.

@monicakm I love Dr. Idress and follow her on YT. She's a no nonsense derm and I like that she gives honest advice. She also offers ideas for high end and less expensive skincare products.

Her best advice is to address one issue at a time and not pile on all the serums and treatments. My routine was already quite simple, but she explained the reasons why so many products are not necessary.

There are a bunch of natural oils that contain ceremides or the linoleic acid that promotes ceremide synthesis (Dr. Axe). Ceremides are a type of fatty acid.

Sweet almond oil, sunflower, coconut, jojoba, moringa....

Two of my favorite oils: madademia nut and meadowfoam.

You can also boost skin effects through diet. Food high in ceremides: wheat germ, spinach, eggs, dairy, et. al.

When babies are born they are covered in ceramides from the amniotic fluid which contains huge amounts of ceramides called sphingolipids.

That's interesting. I may have been getting them all along via diet and the Skinn Divine Elixir Luminous Oil that I use. 🤷‍♀️

Jojoba oil contains 90 to 95% ceramides. The butter has a bit more. The jojoba butter is what I used when I burned my skin with a glycolic peel. Skin got stripped away of it's ceramide layer which makes up 30 to 40% of our skin's outermost layer.
