What is Niacinamide Serum And Its Uses

Introduction:

We all have seen many things like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, vitamin c, Retinol, Kojic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid and many more. Among them we incorporate in our skin care and mostly they are very well known to us.

Generally it starts with cleansing, toning, moisturizing and using sunscreen at day. All of these steps are very important to maintain radiant, shiny, clean and beautiful skin.

Including massive skin care things I would like to point out a single ingredient which is loved by many influencers, dermatologists and of course by women. So, the wait is over. The name of this ingredient is niacinamide which has a lot of benefits for our skin. 

Here I am going to tell you the benefits, way of using and how to make it at home. Using it and making it is very very easy. Let’s start to dive into the world of beauty!

What is Niacinamide and its benefits?

Niacinamide is a very popular ingredient in the skin care industry. It is also known as nicotinamide and Vitamin B3. I have heard many benefits of it but after applying I can confidently say that this appreciation for this serum is really really worth it.  First of all it is very gentle and everybody can use it without a second thought. Besides, it is a very powerful antioxidant for brighter, shinier and healthy skin. 

This single ingredient can be considered as the Holy Grail of all the skin because it is suitable for all the skin types like oily, dry, combination or normal skin. I have some issues with my skin as I have combinational skin with some open pores and my T-zone area always gets oily.

That’s why my Dermatologist recommended me to apply this serum every night. so, I bought it and started to apply it on my face during the night but you guys can also use it during day time because it is very comfortable with the sun because it boosts sunblock power to protect us from UV rays.

Personal Experience:

I was applying it during night once in a day because I was a beginner in the Skin Care line. So I got an amazing result: my open pores shrink and the sebum is also controlled during the summer days. I think summer is very critical to handle and this serum is worth buying.

With its application we can get glowing skin without any sebum production and irritating skin so I think everybody should buy it. There are some steps that everybody needs to know before using it so below I write down ways to use this serum. 

How to use Niacinamide Serum?

When it comes to using serums on face there comes a question in mind that which time we should use this specific serum on face and on Dam face or on dry face. let me clear the confusion. As every serum has its own property so their way of use is also different and when it comes to niacinamide then we have to use it on a damp face because it is not an active ingredient, it is an antioxidant. Some antioxidants are use on dry face but serum is best when we apply it on a damp face.

The chemistry behind it is very interesting. Some serums have to be absorbed in the skin deeply and for them we have to apply it on a damp face, that’s why this has to be applied. On the other hand some actives like azelaic acid, AHA, BHA, retinol should applied on dry face because their purpose on the skin is to not deeply penetrate but on the top player of skin. I make many mistakes but after my experience I am sharing the easiest way to apply niacinamide. 

Way of Applying

First of all, wash your face with a cleanser if you are applying at night, then do a double cleansing so that all the dust on the skin can deeply wash away. After that, use a clean cotton cloth and dry your face a little bit with a tapping method. 

When your skin is damp then take drops of niacinamide serum on your palm and apply it on your face with a tapping method not rubbing because this method will change the game. Our face is sensitive, that’s why we should deal with it with caution. 

Tips of Using Serum

Rubbing can irritate our natural skin barrier. That’s why tapping is the best way to absorb the product in our skin without any harsh side effects.  Okay! After applying the serum we should layered it up with a moisturizer. A moisturizer should be fused with ceramide, vitamin E and panthenol. You can use a simple moisturizer but with my experience I am telling you these ingredients are very very effective for healthy skin.

So apply this moisturizer and take it only a pea size amount not less than or above them this amount. After applying moisturizer, never rub your skin again but also do the tapping method. It is the most underrated step and nobody will tell you so I am telling you to always apply these things without harshness but with gentleness and the gentle way is tapping.

Choosing a Good Niacinamide Serum

There are many niacinamide serums in the market and they are very expensive but some are cheaper. In my point of view some cheaper products are not so pure they are impure or the manufacturer has no such experience or there is a very new in Skin Care industry or maybe there are some other points but it’s my point of view that I am sharing with you guys.

Everybody has different experiences with different brands because every serum has different ingredients and many people have allergy or some other concerns with the relative ingredient so I made it easy for you to use a serum according to your choice and according to your need. below I have written some methods by which you can make your own serum at your home with your choice and concern.
