THE CERAMIDES CONUNDRUM

Ceramides – we’ve heard of them, but why should we put them on our skin? Ceramides are waxy lipid molecules that make up part of a healthy skin barrier. If you have dry, irritated skin, you may have low ceramide levels, which can lead to eczema.* Vegan by Happy Skin’s Avocado + Ceramides Day & Night Moisturiser, £29.90, is formulated with nourishing avocado and babassu oil, plus all-important, hydration-replenishing ceramides to bolster the skin’s protective layer. veganbyhappyskin.com
