Vitamin B (Niacinamide)
This is an ingredient getting a lot of notice lately so I thought I would do a little investigation for you all.
Benefits-
- It is all about healthy glowing skin.
- Think Beroca (this is also vit B) it is all about giving the skin a boost, increasing engery, giving it a kick start.
- Turbo charging the skin
- Strengthens the skin against irritations- great for sensitive
- Balances water and oil levels
Sources-
Aspect skin care has a Vitamin B serum. This is applied once or twice a day under your moisturiser. This is a great method for delivering Vitamin B as it is delivered exactly to where you need it as quickly as possible.
Another source is food some of the best (fish, poultry, red meat, nuts and whole grains.) These are great to add to your diet, but work slower and it delivered to your entire body, whilst a serum will be only focused on giving you glowing healthy skin immediately.
For acne-
Acne is a skin condition characterized by excess oil production and irregular shedding of dead skin cells. It has been shown to reduce the oil production in the skin therefore reducing acne breakouts.
Anti-oxidants-
Anti—oxidants fight free radicals. Free radicals are negative factors that attack and damage our skin (smoking/sun/sugar/alcohol) Vit B will find the damaged cells and help to repair them.
Skin conditions- seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea and eczema.
Vit B has anti-inflammatory properties which makes it effective for treating these conditions. It helps strengthen the skin, building up barriers to help your skin fight any infections and irritations.
Hydration-
It has also become popular additions to skin-care products because of their ability to assist in retaining moisture levels.
For those who like a bit more information-
Niacinamide is also known as vitamin B3. It is found in all cells- it plays an important role in cellular energy production. The body can only make small quantities of this vitamin, so it must come from other sources.
Vit B helps increase blood flow which leads to glowing healthy skin. With the formation of red blood cells, our cell turnover speeds up, all this combined leads to healthy skin,
all this combined leads to healthy skin.
