We are always across a new beauty launch - especially one thats super affordable and stocked on the high street. It goes without saying that Boots is one of our go-to places for beauty shopping. From luxury beauty to super affordable brands, we can be sure to pick up plenty of our beauty faves at Boots so when we heard about their latest skincare drop - we had to get our hands on it.

　　When shopping for skincare, I look for products designed to be specifically suitable for sensitive skin thats on the drier side. Im looking for skincare designed to comfort, soothe and hydrate but I also want a routine that continues to leave my skin looking glowing and exfoliated. Whether or not you want a new hardworking serum or a super hydrating cleanser, we put the new DermaCare Ceramides range to the test:

　　What makes this skincare range different? This range has been formulated with a triple ceramide complex plus a range of multiple skin-loving ingredients depending on the product. This powerful complex combines ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids to improve and care for your skin barrier. Joe Thorley-Mitchell, Director of Boots Brand says, The Boots DermaCare brand was born in healthcare, created by pharmacists to support with symptoms of skin conditions. We’re proud to build on this heritage with a carefully curated collection of products that harness the restorative power of ceramides.

　　What are ceramides? Taking skincare back to basics, Ceramides are one of those essential ingredients that will only do positive things to your skin. They are essential lipids that are naturally found in the skin to maintain a strong skin barrier. Having a strong skin barrier is key for protecting and keeping the skin moisturised - an essential for flawless, smooth-looking skin.
