Ceramides are naturally found in our skin and in fact, form the structural basis of a health skin barrier. It is important to highlight that for eczema therapy, not all moisturisers are equal. We have all heard about ceramide containing moisturisers which are supposed to help mimic the skin barrier. These can be effective in terms of replacing what is naturally deficient in eczema prone skin. In this episode, Singapore Dermatologist Dr. Teo Wan Lin explains what eczema is and share her top tips for an eczema skincare routine.
Hello guys, this is Ash! We are going to be talking about eczema today and by the end of this 1 minute video, you & Ash will have a good idea of what eczema is and how best to manage it. Now, eczema is essentially a condition where your skin is deficient in ceramides. This means that it leaks at the external interface between your skin and the environment. The key here is to use a ceramide dominant moisturiser in order to repair the leaky skin barrier. That way you can ensure lesser water loss to the environment and also give your skin the nourishment it needs.
