Dry skin is generally a result of reduced water content in skin’s outermost layer. Your skin’s outer layer, the stratum corneum, contains lipids which help keep moisture in or out of the skin. If your body is deficient in these lipids, moisture will either escape or evaporate from your skin, causing it to become dry.
Ceramides
Ceramides are lipids naturally found in your skin’s vulnerable outer layer and their role is to help the skin retain moisture, so it stays hydrated and healthy. Learn more about them and how Curel® lotions moisture-rich formulas provide long term relief from dryness and skin sensitivity.
