With the clinics and beauty salons all closed since March 23rd and talk only just beginning of opening them up once again amid the global pandemic, skincare has been very much in our own hands over the last few months.

A good skincare regime, coupled with a healthy diet and some exercise, is an absolute essential if you want to keep your skin supple, hydrated and both blemish and wrinkle-free for as long as possible – and this would be true even if you were still able to go to your local clinic for a skin treatment.

If you’re wondering which ingredients to try in your skincare products, you might find niacinamide of interest, a form of vitamin B3 that you can now find in a range of different moisturisers and serums.

This particular vitamin has an important role to play in keeping our skin healthy and you can also find it in some foods or take it as a dietary supplement. In terms of benefits to your skin, you may well see less redness and inflammation, fewer spots and pimples, and even improvements to hyperpigmentation and melasma.

Dietary sources of niacinamide include fish, meat, eggs, beans and green vegetables so if you’re following a healthy and well-balanced diet, you should be getting sufficient quantities. As for skincare products, perhaps go for serums and moisturisers instead of face washes, as the formula will be left on your skin for longer, instead of being washed away.

Give London skin treatment clinic Cosmetics Laser Clinic a call once lockdown is over and they can help give your skin a well-earned health boost.
