3 Things I Learned About Certified Organic Skincare From Miranda Kerr
Miranda Kerr on KORA Organics, her layering routine and the turmeric scrub trick.
We have ceramides right across a routine. There are gentle ceramide cleansers for sensitive skin, rich face creams and body lotions that pair ceramides with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, and mineral sunscreens that support the barrier while you're in the sun. The MooGoo range uses skin-identical Ceramides 3 and 3B, INIKA's tinted lip serums use plant-derived Ceramide NG, and the Weleda Skin Food Super Serum uses olive-derived Ceramide NP. From gentle baby lotion to a rich night crème, there's a ceramide product here for most skin types.
Ceramides are a type of lipid that sits between your skin cells, holding everything together and keeping water in. When levels drop, skin can feel dry and reactive, which is common as we get older or through cold, dry weather. Topping them up with ceramide skincare helps the barrier hold onto moisture and stay comfortable. They work well alongside hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and fatty-acid-rich oils, which is why so many of these products pair them together. If your skin leans dry or easily irritated, our niacinamide range is a lovely place to go next, and we've written a step by step guide to ceramides over on the blog.
