Everything You Need to Know About Niacinamide
Keeping up with the latest must-have skin-care ingredients can be tough — but it’s worth taking the time to learn more about niacinamide. While this ingredient doesn’t get as much attention as fellow skin-ageing fighters like retinoids or glycolic acid, you may have spotted it while scrolling through your Instagram feed or Beauty Blogs. Curious if this ingredient has a place in your skin-care regimen? Read on to find out what you need to know about this beauty booster. What is Niacinamide and how does it work? Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is the name for the topical version of Vitamin B3. Because our bodies don’t produce or store this vitamin naturally, we need to apply it topically to our skin to see the benefits. Niacinamide is incredibly restorative, nourishing the skin while calming redness (including rosacea), acne and inflammation, without sensitivity or irritation. By strengthening the skin barrier and boosting hydration, it can help improve the actions of your other skincare products too. How will Niacinamide improve my skin? Where do we start! One of the most-loved benefits of adding niacinamide to your skincare routine is its brightening actions for sun-damaged skin, as it really helps to lessen the appearance of brown spots, hyperpigmentation and redness. It’s also ideal for calming irritated and acne-prone skins, as niacinamide is a natural anti-inflammatory (a game-changer for mask-ne, acne from wearing masks!). It also combats environmental damage to the skin from pollution and free radical attacks by fortifying the skin’s natural barrier, making it great protection
How to achieve immortal skin
How to achieve immortal skin We all know results happen with consistency. Immortal, glowing skin is no exception. Taking good care of your skin daily will also save you money in the long run. Skin concerns like deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and acne scarring can be prevented with a daily skin care routine. But when it comes to skincare and what to use, it can be incredibly overwhelming. Luckily for you our favourite skincare brand O Cosmedics has put together their must-have daily products into the Immortal kit. We love that this kit goes back to basics, and includes the four products essential for skin health and that immortal glow. 1. CLEANSER First off, you need the right cleanser to wash off all the oil, dirt and makeup that has been sitting on your face all day. Please do your skin a favour and don’t use a bar of soap or body wash as these products will be way too harsh for the delicate skin on your face. A tight squeaky clean feeling right after cleansing is a red flag and this means that you have stripped away your skin’s natural protective barrier and have left your skin dry and vulnerable to the environment. Instead, look for a gentle cleanser like the Gentle Antioxidant Cleanser to leave your skin clean without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. This cleanser can be used morning and night. 2. EXFOLIANT To help get rid of skin buildup and improve the skin’s texture and appearance, we recommend using an exfoliant once or twice a week.
Hydrate Winter Skin with 5 Hero Products
The change of seasons is hard enough on its own without having to worry about the change in our skin condition. None of us like the feeling of adjusting to the colder conditions, so just imagine how your skin is feeling! The combination of cold weather, low humidity, and heating dries out the air, leaving your skin deprived of moisture and feeling a little lacklustre. This winter, we are all about hydrating winter skin to prevent it from feeling dry, flaky and rough. We sat down with our Spa Manager Kim Poumos and spoke about her top 5 hydrating winter skin products that she just couldn’t live without. THE ESSENTIAL PRODUCTS TO HYDRATE, RESTORE AND ENHANCE YOUR WINTER SKIN 1. O Cosmedics O-Biotics 3D Hyaluronic Serum. I truly love this amazing serum! It has transformed my skin from feeling tight, flaking and dry to feeling smooth, plump, and hydrated. Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that maintains moisture levels. It works in cells by binding to water to help retain hydration to the skin. It has the amazing ability to hold onto one thousand times its weight in moisture. It is a fine, water-like serum that is applied after cleansing over the face, neck and can be used around the eye area. A must-have for dry skin during the winter months. 2. O Cosmedics Retinoic Oil Another of my hero products! This along with Hyaluronic Serum are 2 products I can not be without! Retinoic oil is
LED Light Therapy to restore your radiance
You might have heard of LED Light Therapy before, but not entirely sure what it’s all about and if it is right for you? We are here to help! LED light treatments are a completely hand-free, convenient and rewarding treatment that can assist with acne symptoms, scarring, hyperpigmentation, reduce inflammation, signs of aging and even reduce inflammation caused by eczema and psoriasis. WHAT IS LED THERAPY? What is LED Light Therapy and how does it work? LED Light Therapy, otherwise known as Light Emitting Diode treatments, uses varying LED wavelengths of visible light to increase collagen and regenerate damaged skin cells. As a result of ageing, skin disorders or trauma, healthy skin cells are compromised and struggle to renew normally. The skin uses the energy produced from the light to repair and rejuvenate damaged cells, killing acne bacteria and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin for anti-ageing benefits. How does LED Therapy work to treat Acne? Blue light therapy is commonly used to treat acne symptoms, as it has an antimicrobial effect on the skin meaning that it can kill several types of bacteria that tends to collect in pores and oil glands, causing breakouts. Used in combination with red light, this will treat acne, decrease scarring and promote anti-inflammatory effects.In one study, people with acne who were treated for 5 weeks with a blue light therapy saw improvement in 77 percent of cases.
