Ceramides and Japan are the two factors that speak in favor of Curél per se. Ceramides are natural lipids, the very building blocks that form the skin’s protective barrier. If there is a lack of these natural moisturizing substances, the skin becomes dry and sensitive. The second important argument in favor of the new system care is its country of origin, Japan. Especially when it comes to cleansing and moisturizing the skin, Nippon, the “Land of the Rising Sun”, is a pioneer. For centuries, double cleansing and double moisturizing have been the most important elements of Japanese skincare, as they thoroughly cleanse the skin and provide it with multi-layered moisture. These tried and tested rituals support healthy, even skin and improve the effectiveness of other skincare products. Ceramides play the leading role Over 40 years ago, Japanese scientists discovered the key to optimal skin health: ceramides. Curél laboratories developed an innovative biomimetic ceramide technology that mimics the skin’s own natural ceramides to effectively replenish the moisture barrier and leave the complexion looking healthy and radiant. It delivers the ceramides exactly where they are needed in the skin.

I particularly like the Make-up Cleansing Milk, which gently and thoroughly removes all make-up with its soothing formula. At the same time, it provides intensive moisture and replenishes the natural ceramides. The milk is applied to a cotton pad until it is well saturated. Gently wipe over the face, including the lips and eyes. Unlike the other two cleansing options, I really like the fact that I don’t need to rinse it off. Too much water on the skin is not to my taste. Incidentally, according to the manufacturer, using the milk increases the skin’s moisture content by 45 percent. Double moisturizing A two-step procedure is also preferred here. First, the essence is used, unique to the Japanese skin care routine.… weiterlesen
