Skin vitamins for healthy skin. Which skin vitamins do we need? There's vitamin C,
which is a powerhouse for skin brightening, like your vitamin c serums and vitamin A, which
fulfills our anti-aging dreams, like retinol. But when it comes to the lesser-known vitamin, most of
us have little to no idea how this one vitamin, benefits the skin and how it plays an important
part of having healthy glowing skin. Stay tuned till the end, to find out which one it is,
how to use it in your skincare routine, and which product im a big fan of. Right after this intro.
Hi guys, yaseen arsalan, media pharmacist here on youtube, on this channel,
I help you guys make better and more informed decisions about your health and wellness,
particularly when it comes to skincare. A topic ive been getting a lot of questions about. And It
would mean the world to me if you clicked that like button below down there, so youtube can show
this video to more people, so we can help reach everyone. And if you like this kind of content,

Vitamin-enriched skin-care products can protect against free-radical damage,
treat fine lines and wrinkles, and lessen hyperpigmentation. Basically, there’s a vitamin
out there for every one of your skin concerns — you just have to know which one provides which
benefits. But the one that stands out to me the most due to its incredibly restorative properties,
is Vitamin B3. You see, there are eight B vitamins, and as a group they are called B-complex
vitamins. But when it comes to skin care, the one that steals the show, is Vitamin B3,
otherwise known as niacinamide. In general, anyone who wants their skin to be bright or
prevent aging, should consider using vitamin b3. Theres also 4 additional benefits,
which ill briefly go over before we get into how to use it, and which product I recommend.
The first one is that: It decreases hyperpigmentation. Vitamin A and vitamin C
are popular picks for brightening dark spots and getting rid of hyperpigmentation altogether. But
niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of brown spots, blotchiness, and redness and brightens
the overall complexion. An excellent choice if you have rosacea or eczema.
Secondly: It helps lock in moisture. When it comes to skin care, we all love ingredients that
moisturize. The water retention keeps the skin moisturized, which in turn keeps the skin barrier
healthy and uncompromised. The third benefit is that: It strengthens the skin barrier.
Having a strong skin barrier helps our bodies keep harmful things from entering the skin. And lastly,
it minimizes fine lines. You see, vitamin B3 is an antioxidant, it has anti-inflammatory properties.
"This is why it helps prevent and treat signs of aging due to reactive oxygen species,
which typically break up collagen and elastin and can result in sagging wrinkles in skin.
Vitamin b3 addresses those issues. Now doesnt that seem too good to be
true? Arent there any side effects? Niacinamide is a powerful ingredient for both skin moisturization
and skin brightening, But when used in high concentrations it may cause irritation. So,
its best to start low concentrations if youve never used it before. 5- 20 percent formulas are
out there too, and some reports say it may be effective in treating hyperpigmentation
and damage related to sun exposure at higher percentages. But if you have sensitive skin,
you may want to start with a lower concentration. In terms of how to use it, itll depend on the
formulation. For a niacinamide serum. most niacinamide serums are water-based, so it’s
best to apply them after cleansing and toning and before oil-based serums or moisturizers. This way,
you get the highest possible absorption. Cover your entire face with the serum,
but feel free to concentrate on oily areas. As far as niacinamide moisturizer. It’s best to
apply these products after cleansing, toning, and serums but before sunscreen and makeup.
The biggest question comes down to how long will niacinamide take to work, cuz i dont
got all day.. and Although most of the available research describes noticeable improvements after
four weeks of use, there’s no exact timeline. Some even see more changes in 8 weeks of time,
which include smoother, toned, and hydrated skin. So dont give up on using it just yet.
So now lets get to what you all been waiting for, what product I recommend. As far as a nianicmide
serum goes: And assuming your skin works well with niacinamide. I recommend the 10% Niacinamide
booster from paulas choice. And no im not sponsored at all by them, I like how the product
is formulated with allantoin and licorice extract to calm the skin and reduce redness. It also has
vitamin c in it too to give you that extra boost to help fade dark spots and provide antioxidant
protection. So anyone looking to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone,
or wrinkles, and to improve the surface texture of skin. Go with the paulas choice one. As far
as a moisturizer, you really cant go wrong with cerave’s PM facial moisturizing lotions.
They include niacinamide as the 4th ingredient, which shows you are getting a good amount of it in
the product. They uses MVE Technology to deliver hydration throughout the night. MVE technology
has several advantages over other products. So In contrast to the “quick burst release”
formulations, in CeraVe’s MVE, its basically “time-released”, meaning its spheres provide
multiple phases of moisturisation to keep the skin hydrated for up to 24 hours. I like the technology
and thats why Im confident in recommending it. Plus it contains hyaluronic acid to help
retain skin's moisture. So both great products. You can pick them up in the description below.
Overall, vitamin b3, in addition to benefits I mentioned, you have to remember that it plays a
role in helping restore cellular energy, repair damaged DNA, and reduce the immunosuppressive
effects of sun-induced UV rays. I think its an important skin vitamin, and would like to hear
your thoughts. Like the video if you did enjoy it, and subscribe not to miss out on future videos.
Thanks for sticking tuned all the way till the end, and as always, ill see you on the next one.
