Metamorphosis | The Ritual | Ceramide Body Oil - Step 2 | 100ml

As hormone levels plummet, your skin can become dry, slack, and thin. Dry skin actually results from the decreasing estrogen levels in the bloodstream at the onset of menopause. Estrogen stimulates the body's production of collagen and oils, which keep the skin naturally moisturized through most of a woman's life. Menopause decreases the abundance of ceramides in the stratum corneum, ceramides are lipids (fats) that are found naturally in high concentrations in the uppermost layers of skin. As hormone levels plummet, your skin can become dry, slack, and thin. Skin cell renewal declines during this time with a lower level of sebum so skin can become dull and lack vitality if not properly looked after.

Formulated to deeply moisturise, this oil is rich in ceramides and phytoestrogens which have a tightening effect on skin, their small molecular size can be easily absorbed through skin and they are vital in epidermal healing to replenish and restore this skin to protect against oxidative stress and premature ageing. Ceramides help hold skin together by forming a protective layer that limits moisture loss and protects against visible damage from environmental stressors. In addition, ceramides—even more than retinol and niacinamide—are one of the anti-ageing “powerhouses” responsible for supporting skin's dynamic nature.
