WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF VITAMIN B3 (NIACINAMIDE) AND VITAMIN C (L-ASCORBIC ACID) FOR YOUR SKIN?

THIS ONE IS FOR THOSE WHO REALLY WANT TO DIVE DEEP INTO ORGANIC MOLECULES THAT GIVE EXTRA LOVE TO OUR SKIN HEALTH!

EVERYONE ALWAYS TALKS ABOUT VITAMIN A OR RETINOLS / RETINOIDS FOR ANTI-WRINKLES AND COLLAGEN PRODUCTION….BUT WHAT ABOUT VITAMINS C AND B?

WELL ALLOW US TO PROVIDE SOME BRIEF, QUICK AND EASY INFORMATION.

VITAMIN B3, ALSO KNOWN AS NIACINAMIDE, OFFERS SEVERAL BENEFITS FOR THE SKIN:

  1. Moisturizing: It helps the skin retain moisture, keeping it hydrated and preventing dryness; thus, keeping the skin looking healthy and radiant.
  2. Improves Skin Texture: Niacinamide can enhance the skin's barrier function, therefore making it smoother and more supple.
  3. Reduces Redness and Inflammation as it has anti-inflammatory properties that can calm irritated skin and reduce redness.
  4. Minimizes Pore Appearance: Niacinamide can help tighten our skin pores, making them appear smaller.
  5. Brightens Skin: It can even out skin tone, reduce dark spots, and improve overall complexion.



OVERALL, VITAMIN B3 IS A VERSATILE INGREDIENT IN SKINCARE KNOWN FOR ITS ABILITY TO ADDRESS VARIOUS SKIN CONCERNS, MAKING IT SUITABLE FOR MANY DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES.

VITAMIN C HAS MANY BENEFITS TO OUR SKIN:

  1. Antioxidant Protection: It helps counteract damage caused by free radicals, which can accelerate aging and damage skin cells!
  2. Collagen Production: Vitamin C stimulates collagen production, aiding in maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.
  3. Brightening Effect: It can reduce dark spots and pigmentation, leading to a more even skin tone and brighter / radiant skin complexion.
  4. Wound Healing: Vitamin C supports the skin's natural healing process and can assist in repairing damaged skin!
  5. UV Protection: While not a replacement for sunscreen, it may provide some protection against UV rays and sun damage, and really any protection is great!


OVERALL, INCORPORATING VITAMIN C INTO YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO HEALTHIER, MORE YOUTHFUL-LOOKING SKIN.
