More Vitamins! Niacinamide (B3)
What does Niacinamide do for your skin?
Today let’s talk about one member of the B complex vitamins – Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3. It is an essential vitamin and is found in many foods like eggs, fish, milk, beans, and green veggies. It is also increasingly becoming a very popular ingredient in beauty care products. So what are the benefits of the topical application of Niacinamide?
Niacinamide is a water-soluble form of Vitamin B3 which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It not only helps regenerate skin cells but also protects them from UV radiation and other environmental stressors like pollution and toxins. It boosts collagen production and reduces signs of premature aging like fine lines and wrinkles. It is helpful for reducing acne and other inflammatory conditions like pustules.
Niacinamide also improves skin texture and strengthens the protective barrier function of skin which also contributes to reducing inflammation. It increases the ceramides which are natural lipids found in skin and hence reduces water loss. This improves hydration and keeps your skin well moisturized, soft, and supple. It also increases resilience in the skin while reducing the appearance of scars and blemishes.
Niacinamide has been proven useful in the fight against hyperpigmentation. It helps lightening dark spots, reduces blotchiness, and evens out skin tone. It balances out sebaceous gland oil production which reduces clogging of pores and can further keep acne and breakouts at bay. It also powerfully restores cellular energy and repairs damaged DNA.
What else does Vitamin B3 do?
Niacinamide also increases skin proteins in the scalp’s lipid barrier and locks moisture into the scalp. This helps combat scalp conditions that cause dryness and flakiness. It also increases the synthesis of keratin which improves the quality and strength of hair. It reduces excess oil production which helps unclog hair follicles and stimulates hair growth. It protects the hair shaft from UV radiation and environmental stressors resulting in rejuvenated and bouncy hair.
