Phytoceramides & Eyes Problems

Eye’m in Pain: Skin Problems Under Your Eyes

The skin beneath your eyes can be extremely irritable. This is because the nature of its thickness. It makes the skin very susceptible to certain disorders, ones that can be painful and leave the person feeling insecure about their appearance. There is hope, though! If you know how to correctly care for your skin and do so routinely, you can avoid some of the following painful or irritating skin disorders.

Skin Discoloration

Dead or useless skin cells can increase and cause a brownish discolored area below your eyes. Certain factors in the environment can also cause this skin tone dysfunction. The sun often damages the fragile layer of skin, sometimes unavoidably. Whatever the cause, as there are many, it can make you look tired or older.

The Solution

There are safe chemicals you can buy, alpha hydroxy acid and beta hydroxy acid, that will safely exfoliate the skin. These are better and healthier to use than grainy exfoliants because they don’t tear up and irritate the skin. If used, you can get ride of those pointless dead skin cells, liven up newer and healthier skin, and consequently gain back that smooth, light skin that used to be there.

Bags

Though the reduction of bags is purely for a cosmetic adjustment, once removed, they can ease up your daily routine vastly. For example, if you don’t get enough sleep, you not only wake up tired, but everyone knows. Even worse, it makes putting makeup on much more difficult, eliminating any chance of getting rid of them with cover up. The good news? Fixing them doesn’t require buying any expensive creams, serums, or tools. There are simple changes in your daily routine that could expel the swell!

The Solution

As allergies irritate the eyes and the skin, doctors suggest to avoid anything your body may react adversely to. Furthermore, sleep is important for many reasons, this being one of them. By sleeping well and with your head above the rest of your body, you reduce the chance of blood pooling around that area and causing inflammation. Finally, if you can’t avoid these two things and find you face puffy, a simple cool compress will get rid of the swelling. Chill a cloth in the refrigerator and apply it to your face while relaxing. Problem solved!

Dry Skin

Dry and flaky skin is a cause for concern. Often easily missed when moisturizing the face, the sensitive skin beneath your eyes can easily be ignored. Also due to their fragile manor, they can get dehydrated easily, causing the skin to peel and flake. Consequently, the skin becomes red, irritated and more susceptible to other issues.

The Solution

Next time you moisturize, just make sure you don’t forget about the skin that needs it most. Reach below those eyes and avoid pain, discomfort, and redness. Moisturizers with glycerin are better for this job than those without.

Dark Circles

The skin below your eyes is so thin that the veins beneath it can be seen through the top layer of skin. This is what causes darkened circles. Luckily, there is a safe way to thicken that skin so you can have a “thick skin” and not worry about what others see.

The Solution

Doctors suggest that any moisturizers with alpha hydroxy acids, retinol, vitamin K or vitamin C are great for this job. They contract the vessels, making them smaller and less noticeable, and hydrate the skin so that it thickens.

So, while a lot of the issues that come with the thin skin below your eyes are unavoidable, there are ways to control them. With good moisturizers, sleep, cold compresses and exfoliants, you can look younger, healthier and can feel more confident.

Generational Skin Disorders

Many of us are lucky to inherit good traits from our elders – athleticism, good hair, straight teeth, intelligence. Sometimes, though, we are not as fortunate and end up taking some of the bad traits as well. Among these are skin disorders. Sometimes the disorders are not as serious and can be treated and controlled. Other times, they are serious and end up being a detriment and risk to our connective tissues, cutaneous tissues, or even worse our neurological system.

Albinism

A very famous condition, as it steals all the color from it’s host with little to no skin pigmentation, albinism has two different types. In both types, you may notice almost transparent hair, skin, or irises that appear red. In the first type of this disorder there is a defect in the overall production of melanin. In type 2, the person may have a little bit more color as the defect comes with the “P” gene and not with melanin directly.

Ichthyosis Vulgaris

This is one of the most common skin disorder. It is accompanied by severely dry, itchy skin that may in turn end up thickening more so than normal. This occurs mostly around the legs, but can sometimes spread to the arms, abdomen, or hands.

This disorder usually proves to interrupt in the winter, and sometimes disappears for large periods of time in adulthood. Therefore, it has rarely caused any major health issues, often resolving itself on its own.

This disorder can be very dangerous as it is a neuro-cutaneous disorder. This mean that it affects the brain. It can also be seen in symptoms centered around the teeth, skin, eyes, skeleton and, more dangerously, the central nervous system. The skin symptoms are caused by an overproduction of melanin. This can be seen through spots on the skin or a wave-like texture. Though you may notice the skin symptoms disappearing, the neurological effects remain over time, making it a constant risk factor for the victim.

Xeroderma Pigmentosa

Of the lesser-known disorders is this one. It causes the skin covering the retina to be particularly sensitive to UV light. This can also happen on the skin causing symptoms alike to those with someone who sat in the sun for two long. This means there is a higher chance to get sunburned, skin flaking, discoloration and painful scaling and consequential oozing.

Ectodermal Dysplasia

This disorder is caused by multiple defects in the victim’s genes. It can sometimes be easily noticed as the person may have a noticeably large forehead and low nasal bridge. It can affect most areas of the body,coming with a plethora of symptoms. They include thin skin, thin hair, missing hair or teeth, decreased production of tears, hearing issues, and a strong and foul smelling nasal discharge.

Ehlers-Danlos Conditions

This disorder targets the vessels in the blood, connective tissues, and joints. All six of the conditions that come with this disorder are very rare. The most common of the six is the hypermobility, which can cause symptoms of heart-valve issues, severe and early-onset arthritis, hyper-extension of joints, easy bruising, and extremely soft skin.

Other disorders can cause tumors to grow on nerves, subsequently causing skin and bone anomalies. Benign tumors can also grow on the brain, as seen with the condition Tuberous sclerosis causing seizures, mental retardation, and behavioral disorders.

Look Younger With Natural Fat Lipids

Look Younger With – you heard it – ‘Fat’

Well, not fat exactly. But, very similar.

As we get older our skin gets noticeably thinner. It can become dry, cracked and swollen leaving you in pain and leaving your overall confidence at a deficit. You begin to look in the mirror and see a face you may not recognize. You see this in thin lips, wrinkles, crows feet, forehead wrinkles and whatever else you see in your nightmares. The solution? Phytoceramides.

The What:

As mentioned, Phytoceramides are a type of fat-lipids to be exact. These lipids maintain hydration and elasticity in skin. So, as we age, it follows that these miracle fats decrease and our skin sags, becoming dry, itchy and painfully cracked.

Japan has used this as a beauty regime for centuries, making it a popular ancient remedy. And, lucky for us, it is found in everyday plants and relatively easy to harvest.

We get phytoceramides from plants like sweet potatoes, wheat and rice. Oddly enough, these plant oils are much alike to cells found in our skin’s membranes, making them successful at mimicking their function in our body.

The How:

You may very well be wondering exactly how these plant oils could possibly serve in hydrating and maintaining healthy skin cells in humans. Taken directly from the plant, these lipids are transferred into pills.

Most effectively, they are taken orally. As opposed to certain topical creams, these pills send phytoceramides through the bloodstream, eventually delivering them directly to our skin cells. This penetrates much further than the creams on the outside of our tough epidermis.

Though they have been used in Japan for centuries, they have just been approved by the FDA. If you maintain a regular routine, you will see younger, plumper, hydrated skin. What you will not notice anymore is painful dryness, irritating itchiness or unfortunate inflammation.

Adding this to your daily diet, pill schedule or supplement routine would be a quick and easy fix to those wrinkles you have been dreading, or those wrinkles you have been dying to reverse.

The When:

So, now that you are hooked, the right question is when is the best and most proper time to use this miracle supplement? With a daily dose of 350 mg, you are playing it safe. Though you may be excited, you most likely will not notice much difference for a month.

It should be carefully noted that, as they come from wheat, those with a wheat sensitivity, Celiac’s disease or gluten-free diet may experience allergic reactions or discomfort. But, don’t worry, if you are someone who likes to avoid gluten, you can simply substitute a supplement made ONLY from sweet potatoes and rice. It will still produce satisfying results.

As phytoceramides are a relatively newer drug, their use is still being studied and perfected. Though many people still search fruitlessly for a magic way to look younger, thinner, healthier or whatever you may desire, this is a good solution in the meantime. It may not magically transform you into a whole new person, but that is the point! Get a healthier you, while still being … well, you!

Phytoceramides: What You Need To Know

For a more formal definition, Wiki cites:

“Ceramides are a family of waxy lipid molecules. A ceramide is composed of sphingosine and a fatty acid. Ceramides are found in high concentrations within the cell membrane of cells. Ceramide is one of the main components of the epidermis layer of human skin. Together with cholesterol and saturated fatty acids, ceramide creates a water-impermeable, protective organ to prevent excessive water loss due to evaporation.”

As the prefix “phyto” translates to plant, and as the suffix “ceramides” is the lipid your skin needs- it speaks for itself.

In simpler terms, it is a waxy fat that creates a protective barrier for your skin, while hydrating and plumping it up at the same time. It is everything you ever need in one package, and something that most people have never heard of.

Unfortunately, life’s process causes us to lose these crucial lipids from our system, but in adding these to our daily regimen, we can slow down and even reverse the supposed inevitable. In supplementing them to your diet, you can avoid dry, flaky and painful skin, while avoiding the skin condition known as dermatitis. For cosmetic benefits, as aforementioned, you will avoid those pesky wrinkles.

Why you should be taking it now:

Historically, they are known as anti-aging pills, having been used for centuries up until it was recently approved by the FDA. Here is why-

Reduces skin from sagging
Prevents damage from soaking up the sun
Moisturizes your skin from the inside out
Prevents and fixes wrinkles caused by dry skin

Luckily, these four things are what older adults worry about on a daily basis. Why not make your life easier with the gulp of a pill?

Do they work?

Ah, the most important question. Are they really effective? As you should be, it is common for the vast majority of people to be skeptical. This is even more common when anti-aging creams are put into play, as they have failed mercilessly while draining your wallet. Here is the good (and very honest) news:

Yes. They are very effective. The trick is in not expecting to see results overnight. Like many other brands claim to work quickly, it is proven that this does not do that. But, if you stay persistent in taking the pills, you will see results in about thirty days.

The recommended dose is 350mg once per day. Even better news, this is supported by doctors and the FDA. Professionals have also suggested a little tip to speed up the anti-aging process. Pair up your phytoceramides with vitamin C. Opposite to what is suggested of the phytoceramides, you should apply the vitamin C topically, as it has been proven to work much more effectively.

Is it safe?

As it is approved by the FDA, you can (beauty) sleep soundly knowing you are safe with this supplement! So anti-age away my friends!

If you are allergic to gluten: find a supplement that doesn’t use wheat. In other words, find the ones that are based with rice or call your doctor and discuss another supplement.

Saggy Skin Tackled from Within

Saggy Skin tackled from Within: Phytoceramides’ Skill

People go to great lengths to remain with a healthy, hydrated, wrinkle-free face. Sadly, the pressure to do so has left many wallets deft of the warm companionship of dollar bills. People spend hundreds on supposed skin-lifting miracle creams, while the solution is much easier and a whole lot cheaper. The solution to our saggy skin struggles is the supplement of phytocermides.

What Are Phytoceramides?

In understanding what phytoceramides are, we must break down the word into halves. The suffix, ceramides, will help us understand these crucial face fats.

That is correct! Ceramides are the lipids that comprise of the upper-most layer of skin. The younger you are, the more of them you have, which explains why our faces and lips thin out as we age. As a youth, your skin is made up of approximately 60 percent ceramides. While they keep your skin hydrated and healthy. More importantly, they protect the lower layers from infection and unwanted outside dangers. So, while it protects you, it also keeps your skin healthy and youthful.

The prefix Phyto stands for plant. So, it follows that Phytoceramides are the plant based lipids of ceramides. Thus they are chemically identical to cermides. Japan’s culture has recognized their value and has been using them for centuries by harvesting them from wheat and rice. Luckily for other cultures, the FDA has given them the go-ahead. People can now take them by mouth in pill capsules.

Why We Lack Them

There are several things in our daily lives- routines, environment, nature- that cause our skin to lose the necessary phytoceramide levels to maintain healthy skin.

Firstly, as you age, the amount of ceramides in your system naturally decreases. In turn, your skin lacks moisture and thus is less buoyant and hydrated. Hence, the painful cracked, dry or flaky appearance of your skin.

Soaking up the sun doesn’t help the issue of dry or cracked skin as it decreases moisture. Very similarly, environmental pollutants can be an underlying cause of unhealthy skin.

This causes the insecure panic of a frantic middle-aged person who fears the inevitable process of aging. This anti-aging chaos causing panic is what feeds millions of dollars to the skin-care industry every year. Often leaving the victims paying high costs for methods that leave them unsatisfied. There is a solution to this.

Benefits

Phytoceramides have been proven to be the best way to improve the look of your skin through their ability to rehydrate the skin. People are sometimes surprised at heir uncanny ability to cure their saggy skin issues, making wrinkles seemingly disappear.

When taken orally, they target the bloodstream. Eventually they reach the epidermis, or that outermost layer of skin, restoring years of damage. It has been said that if taken correctly it can significantly decrease your age in appearance dropping “a decade off your face”, as one famous clinician has said. Furthermore, scientists and plastic surgeons alike support the claims that using phytoceramides can significantly improve the look of your skin.

It should also be carefully noted that Phytoceramides don’t only reverse aging effects on your face, they serve the rest of the body well also. You will notice that the unwanted, damaged, scaly or flaky skin anywhere else on your body disappear.

Downsides

Though the FDA has approved this skin supplement, there are certain ingredients you should be wary of. If you have Celiac’s disease or a sensitivity to wheat, you should ask the health store worker, a doctor, or a nutritionist about supplements that are wheat free. There is no cause to worry, though, because there are rice-based pills you may substitute.

It has been studied, and taking the pills orally is more effective than applying creams that contain phytoceramides. As far as safety concerns, other than being gluten-free, there are no known risks in ingesting this supplement. Within 4 weeks of consistently taking the pill (350mg with food), you should see signs of improvement.

Vitamin Deficiencies & Skin Disorders

Vitamin Deficiencies that Lead to Skin Disorders

The skin’s condition is often an outside indicator of the overall health. Luckily, yet unfortunately at the same time, a lack of vitamins in your system usually exposes itself through the condition of your skin. Though this is evident, the exact vitamin you lack may be unclear as many of the deficiencies cause the same symptoms. This is why it is helpful to see a doctor or nutritionist to decide which course of action is best to take in improving your overall health through ingesting vitamins.

You can always add supplemental pills to your daily routine. But, if you are a person who would prefer getting it through your natural diet, there are plenty of foods you can add that would suffice. Having knowledge of the following information and a professional opinion you can get down to the bottom of what is causing your skin to misbehave.

As Vitamin A is a vitamin high in lipids or fats. A lack of it can cause skin disorders akin to psoriasis or acne. This means that the person would experience problems related to flaky, dry skin, or skin that is sensitive to breakouts.

More critically, Vitamin A insufficiency can cause serious ocular problems. This can happen first if the cornea becomes excessively dry. This causes tissues within the eye to thicken. Thus, the cornea becomes hazy, making the vision of the person more blurry. Ultimately erosion can damage the cornea badly enough to where blindness occurs without a corneal transplant.

Stock on up some carrots, sweet potatoes or squash if you feel your vitamin A is not A-OK.

While vitamin B6 is found in many foods, a deficiency can easily be caused by disorders in which the person can’t absorb nutrients adequately. More commonly, the deficiency can be caused by alcoholism or an interaction with certain medications. A B6 deficient person will experience inflamed skin accompanied by a dry, greasy, and scaly rash. A vitamin B-6 deficiency may also come with a swollen, red tongue or painful cracks in the corner of the mouth.

B-12 deficiency causes skin disorders such as hyper-pigmentation, especially on the hands and feet. In an article published in “Neurology India” 2005, lead author S. Aaron of Christian Medical College reported that 41 percent of people with vitamin B1-2 deficiency had skin or changes in mucous. Though rare for disorders, a lack of B-12 comes with a painful combination of these symptoms, so it is important to see a doctor if you notice any of these changes.

Adding bananas and yogurt to your pantry will add these two vitamins to your diet. Also, the lesser known roast beef is helpful if you are don’t want to nix your B12 or B6.

A deficiency of vitamin B-2 can cause cracks around the lips and the corners of the mouth. Furthermore, it can create a painful tongue burning sensation as well as soreness. Without enough B2, you may experience a painful, greasy rash.

B3, which is more commonly known as niacin, is responsible for keeping the skin healthy, hydrated and protected. With a lack of this key vitamin, you may develop pellagra. Though it is not common in the United States, it is possible to develop this rare skin disorder. You would want to avoid that as it is accompanied by scaly, cracked and dry skin as well as canker sores and a burning sensation that leaves the tongue red and swollen.

Folic acid, which is less commonly known as another B-complex vitamin, can also cause inflammation of the tongue, called glossitis, and mouth ulcers. These three vitamins overall are responsible for the upkeep of a healthy, clean mouth and strong, hydrated skin, so it is imminent that you keep a balanced intake of them.

Cook up some of those asparagus, spinach and peas to up your folic acid, B2 and B3s!

The word scurvy is associated with pirates, and with good reason. For those who set out to sea for an extended period of time, scurvy is unfortunately popular. With a limited supply of nutrients, sailors would run out of vitamin C in their systems. As DermNet NZ reports, it normally takes around three months of very low or no vitamin C intake to develop scurvy.Scurvy shows itself through discolored bruises on the skin. They are usually maroon and center around hair follicles, where the hair itself takes on a mangled corkscrew-like form. It is also common for the bruises to meld together to form larger bruises.Vitamin C is arguably one of the more important nutrients to retain. As an antioxidant it strengthens the immune system, allowing it to fight off many sicknesses and secondhand disorder. With a lack of it, you open your body to a host of scary and unpleasant illnesses.
Vitamin C puts the C in citrus. You can find more of this in your diet through oranges, juices and tasty strawberries.

Can Phytoceramides Make You Look Young?

What Exactly Are Phytoceramides?

Phytoceramides have been recently approved by the FDA and can now be safely and undeniably be used in the fight against skin aging. They’re being called ‘a natural Botox’ and are now threatening a multi-million industry which is largely based on Botox treatments and other invasive dermatological practices. The latter include lifting surgery, which is popular particularly among women past the age of 40.

Some Interesting Facts About Phytoceramides

ceramides are natural compounds of the skin
their main role is to preserve the elasticity of the skin tissue
as we age, we start losing part of our ceramides, which leads to wrinkling and dehydration

Phytoceramides were first tested in the university of Osaka, of which the science team joined efforts in discovering a way of developing an oral product that’s based on the same compounds. After having perfected a prototype drug, the team performed a human testing process on 33 individuals. Out of these, 6 were men and 27 women. They were all given a daily dose of phytoceramides for a time period of up to 6 weeks. In fact, people wanting to start the treatment should know that it doesn’t last for a couple of days and could range between 4 and even 10 weeks.

The test tried to prove the power of phytoceramides of repairing the skin and of hiding wrinkles. Surprisingly enough, it worked: after 6 whole weeks, testers noticed changes in the way they saw and felt their skin. It was softer and lighter and it resembled the one of a younger person.

Have Phytoceramides Been Tested In The Past?

A product that largely resembled a moisturizer was indeed developed in the past. It was known for its beneficial effects, but there was always the question as to whether the product would work from the inside. Considered to be a natural fountain of youth, phytoceramides can now enhance the look of your skin if you only take a capsule every morning. Moreover, they also turn the skin into a protective layer that acts as a blocker for radiations.

Phytoceramides come from plants. This is the main difference when comparing the ones that currently exist on the market and that can therefore be purchased by any regular individual and the ones from our own bodies. The latter are organic products of a mammal and therefore have nothing in common with the ones belonging to plants. In spite of their different nature, the both are still ceramides and will have a beneficial effect on the skin.

Since the product originates from plants, two American doctors recommend patients to be careful when it comes to gluten intolerance, People that are aware of their health issues must refrain from purchasing the medication because gluten intolerance is no joke and may pose a great risk to your life. Phytoceramides might have great results, but there really is no point in worsening your condition.

What’s The Dosage?

Although the treatment might last up to 10 or even 12 weeks, the daily intake shouldn’t surpass 350 mg. This is the dose that has been recommended time and time again by various physicians. While we’re at it, it also wouldn’t hurt you have a talk with your doctor before buying some phytoceramides.

An Introduction to Phytoceramides

An Introduction To Phytoceramides

Phytoceramides have been making a lot of buzz in the skincare industry lately. Promising to reverse the aging effects on skin, the plant-based ceramides have been labeled ‘miraculous’.

It is okay to be apprehensive about new drugs and medicament. If you are planning to take phytoceramide, then you should be aware of its pros and cons and properties.

Where Do Phytoceramides Come From?

Phytoceramides are plant-based ceramides supplements taken to prevent the aging of skin. Now you must be wondering what ceramides are. Ceramides are waxy lipid molecules made up of sphingosine and fatty acid. They are largely present in our epidermal layer of skin. Even though we are not aware of it, they do wonders on our faces. They are the reason our skin doesn’t get dehydrated and wrinkly. Ceramides keep the skin smooth and plump by preventing the loss of moisture and acting as a barrier against microorganisms. As we get older, there is a considerable decrease in the number of ceramides which is why our skin gets dry and lined. When our body doesn’t nourish us with ceramides, we turn to synthetic products. Ceramides are typically available in anti-aging cream form.

While they are effective, they are often very expensive or not good enough in quality. Furthermore, most of them are formed from bovine sources. Phytoceramides are not only inexpensive; they are derived from crops and plants.

What Do Phytoceramides Contain?

Common ingredients used in phytoceramide supplements are:

Phytoceramide Complex
Gelatin
Rice Bran Oil
Rosemary Extract
Plant Sterols
Vitamin A

The supplements have been cleared by Food Administration and Drugs (FDA). They do not contain any toxic substance that can cause harm to the body. Only risks associated with Phytoceramides can occur in people with gluten-sensitivity. In this case, supplements made from wheat should not be taken at all. Pills produced from rice and sweet-potato extracts are good alternatives.

Due to lack of research, Phytoceramides are not advised in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

How Much Does It Cost To Buy Phytoceramides?

They don’t have a fixed price, but if you compare the current prices of supplements with anti-aging creams, Phytoceramides are quite cheap.

Are Manufacturers Offering Any Guarantee?

Only a handful of companies are offering compensation right now.

Should You Take Phytoceramides?

I suggest that you give Phytoceramides a try. They don’t have any negative effects and they are derived from vegan sources. Although clinical trials are insufficient in number, the pills do have the ability to restore skin and prevent further damage.

Phytoceramides’ Amazing Anti-Aging Effects

Rejuvenation Of Skin With Phytoceramides

If it were in our hands, we would never allow ourselves to get old. Being young has its perks….uncountable perks and one of them is a fresh, wrinkle-free face. Young skin is full of minute waxy lipids called ceramides that keeps the skin healthy and moisturized. As we grow old, there is a marked reduction in the number of ceramides in the epidermis of skin which eventually leads to dehydrated and lined face.

Phytoceramides are the latest supplements in the town claiming to restore your skin. Produced from plant-extracts, phytoceramides are FDA-approved supplements with anti-aging effects. Since its arrival, there has been a lot of speculation going on about it. While some healthcare practitioners have given it their blessing, others are skeptical about phytoceramides due to insufficient studies conducted on the matter.

Gluten-intolerance is a condition in which a number of adverse reactions occur in the body after consumption of a protein called gluten. It is commonly found in wheat, rye and barley. After ingestion, gluten can create havoc that ranges from irritable bowel to severe migraine.

You can imagine what will happen if a person with gluten sensitivity begin to take wheat Phytoceramides. In such patients, gluten-free supplements made from rice or sweet potato are recommended.

Although no embryo-toxic or teratogenic substance has been found in the drugs, it is still better to avoid the supplement in pregnancy and lactation.

Natural Phytoceramides & Their Benefits

Phytoceramides To Restore The Skin

Phytoceramides are plant-based lipids derived from ceramides, a family of waxy lipid molecules made up of sphingosine and a fatty acid. When we are young, there is a large amount of ceramides in our skin to keep it fresh and moisturized. As we grow old, concentration of ceramides greatly depletes leaving our skin prone to lines, blemishes and dry patches. The lipids also defend the body against infections by blocking the entry of microorganisms. Fortunately, to restore the skin back to its original state, we can take ceramides in a form of plant-derived supplements called Phytoceramides.

Benefits Of Phytoceramides

Some of the many advantages of Phytoceramides are:

The dietary supplements, which are often referred to as a ‘natural facelift in a pill’, improve the overall facial appearance by reducing blackheads and enlarged pores and softening the skin cells. They will help to get rid of wrinkles, crow’s feet and bags under eyes.
The rejuvenating effects of Phytoceramides are not limited to facial skin. They can be used to address many skin disorders such as psoriasis, acne, eczema, dry skin, inflammation and other dermatological conditions. Furthermore, they help to strengthen hair and nails as well.
Phytoceramides make the skin elastic and smooth by constantly keeping it hydrated. The fat-based cells have the ability to penetrate all four dermal layers and guard them against dehydration.
They enhance the production of collagen which furthers increases skin elasticity.

Constituents Of Phytoceramides

Dietary supplements of Phytoceramides are made up of:

Phytoceramide Complex (wheat, rice and sweet potato extract)
Gelatin
Rice Bran Oil
Rosemary Extract
Plant Sterols
Vitamin A
Vitamin C
Vitamin D

Defined Daily Dose Of Phytoceramides

Recommended daily consumption of Phytoceramides is 350 milligrams.

Negative Reactions Caused By Phytoceramides

Food Administration and Drugs (FDA) has examined the safety of Phytoceramides and found no toxic substance. They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) with virtually zero side effects.

In certain cases, caution should be taken. Patients with gluten sensitivity must not take wheat-derived phytoceramides as they can cause allergic reactions. Expecting and nursing mothers should also avoid phytoceramides.

Price And Where To Buy It

Phytoceramides are available on many online stores. Prices vary from brand to brand, but they are mostly budget-oriented. Manufacturers occasionally offer great deals and discounts so do watch out for them.

What If Phytoceramides Don’t Work?

Don’t expect miraculous results. The dietary supplements will improve the skin, but there is no guarantee or money back policy that there will be definite results.

Will Phytoceramides Turn Back The Clock?

Phytoceramides show a number of great advantages that have been scientifically proven. The minuscule molecules reach deep inside the skin and prevent the moisture from evaporating. The clinical study on the topic is negligible, and we have yet to hear honest reviews from the customers. However, considering their biochemical properties and interactions, they do carry the power to re-energize your face and help you look younger. Keep in mind, though, that nothing can win the race against time.
