There comes a time in a man’s life where he needs to grow up. He needs to retire the sloppy collegiate hoodie and forget the fact that he can’t drink like his 18-year old self. We also highly encourage him to buy a proper bed frame. And yes, to reap the full benefits of ceramides — the building block of the skin he’s wearing on his body.
But we’re not going to get too Dr Oz about it. Simply put, ceramides are what binds your skin cells together to form a protective barrier that keeps moisture in and bacteria out. As you age, you start losing the benefits of ceramides because the body can’t produce it anymore, which means you’re going to experience sensitivity or inflammation. Thankfully, these products below put them back into your skin while reducing fine lines and wrinkles. That is a pretty sweet deal in our opinion.
Pictured Above: The Dr Jart+ Ceramidin line contains six tightly curated products that promotes the benefits of ceramides — visibly strengthening the skin and preventing dryness even if you’re perpetually under air conditioners. And because #HallyuWave, each of them comes in a lightweight milky like consistency — absorbing into your skin faster than you can mouth the lyrics of a Blackpink song.

Smells like avocado, tastes like avocado (that is if you’ve accidentally ingested it) and smoothes out like avocado.
