MANILA, Philippines — Skin-care brand Cetaphil, in partnership with Watsons and SM Beauty, announces the return of the National Healthy Skin Mission (NHSM). This year's event, the Skin Academy, focuses on the science behind sensitive skin care, and aims to educate the public on the crucial role of 15 essential ceramides in maintaining healthy, resilient skin.

So, what is the crucial role of 15 essential ceramides in your skin? Well, your skin needs to have a healthy moisture barrier. A healthy moisture barrier is essential for overall skin health and function. This protective layer acts as the skin's first line of defense against environmental stressors, pollutants and harmful microorganisms while also helping to retain moisture within the skin.

By regulating water loss, it maintains proper hydration levels, which is crucial for supporting your sensitive skin’s health. A strong barrier prevents irritation and sensitivity, reducing discomfort and reactivity.

Well-hydrated skin with an intact barrier not only functions better but also appear smoother and more supple. Additionally, a healthy moisture barrier facilitates the skin’s natural healing processes when damaged. By maintaining this vital protective layer, you can ensure your skin remains healthy, comfortable and resilient against external challenges.

The Skin Academy will make its home for the entire month of August at SM Makati. This immersive experience will delve into the scientific aspects of sensitive skin care, introducing the latest research on effective skin-care routines, and aims to educate consumers so that they may understand the importance of each ingredient in their skin-care products.

Skin experts will be on-hand to engage with the public in interactive sessions and share practical tips to keep skin healthy with the full range of Cetaphil products (Cetaphil, Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance, Cetaphil Baby, Cetaphil Pro-AD and BENZAC) that can help you achieve up to 10x skin hydration after first use, demonstrating the brand's commitment to science-backed skin-care solutions.

“Our goal is to empower consumers with knowledge about the importance of boosting your 15 essential ceramides to maintain a healthy skin barrier, along with the science behind caring for sensitive skin,” says Mark Sarmiento, Business Unit Head of Galderma Philippines. “By partnering with Watsons, we’re able to reach a wider audience and make a significant impact on skin health awareness.”
