🔍 Niacinamide – The Hidden Treasure for Radiant Skin
Niacinamide, or vitamin B3, is one of the most versatile and effective skincare ingredients. Often overlooked, it offers a multitude of benefits for all skin types and concerns. In this edition, we'll uncover why niacinamide deserves a top spot in your skincare routine.

Benefits of Niacinamide:
1. Pore reduction
Niacinamide is known for its ability to reduce the appearance of pores by regulating sebum production, leading to smoother, more even skin.
2. Even skin tone
It helps diminish dark spots and hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin transfer to the skin’s surface, resulting in a more even complexion.
3. Soothing Inflammation
Ideal for sensitive skin, niacinamide calms redness and reduces inflammation, whether you suffer from acne, rosacea, or simply have reactive skin.
4. Strengthening the Skin Barrier:
By boosting ceramide production, it helps reinforce the skin barrier, essential for maintaining hydration and protecting the skin from external aggressors.
How to Incorporate Niacinamide into Your Routine?
Morning | Evening | In Combination with Other Actives |
Apply a niacinamide serum after your toner and before your moisturizer to control sebum production and protect your skin. | Use a niacinamide-based product to soothe and regenerate your skin overnight. | Niacinamide is compatible with most other actives, including retinoids and acids, making it an easy addition to any existing routine. |

🙌🏻 Preparing Your Skin for the Seasonal Transition – From Summer to Autumn
As summer gently gives way to autumn, our skin faces new challenges. Shorter days, cooler temperatures, and reduced humidity in the air can disrupt our skin's balance.

Here’s how to adapt your skincare routine for this transition 👀
Boost hydratation 💦
With the arrival of autumn, it's essential to enhance your skin's hydration.
Opt for a Richer Moisturizer: Switch to a richer cream or hydrating balm for deep moisture.
Add a Hydrating Serum: Serums with hyaluronic acid or glycerin help attract and retain moisture in the skin.
Adjust your exfoliation 🫧
Exfoliation remains important, but it's crucial to adjust the frequency and type of exfoliant used.
Reduce Frequency: Cut back to once or twice a week to avoid irritating the skin.
Choose Gentle Exfoliants: Lactic or mandelic acids are effective without being too harsh.
Incorporate Repairing Actives 🩹
Autumn is ideal for introducing repairing ingredients.
Plant Oils: Rosehip or jojoba oil nourishes and regenerates the skin, perfect for dehydration.
Ceramides: They help restore the skin barrier, essential during this season.

🧘🏻 Breathing Techniques and Meditation for Radiant Skin
Stress can have a significant impact on our skin. Between the back-to-school rush, new responsibilities, and changes in routine, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But did you know that your breath can be a key to achieving radiant skin? In this section, we’ll explore how breathing and meditation can not only calm your mind but also enhance your skin’s beauty.

The link between stress and skin 🤕
Stress increases cortisol, a hormone that can lead to excessive sebum production, inflammation, and breakouts. Chronic stress can also slow down skin repair, making it more vulnerable to external aggressors and premature aging.
Breathing Techniques to Soothe the Body and Mind 🧖🏼♀️
Taking time to breathe deeply can have immediate effects on your stress levels and, consequently, your skin. Here are some simple techniques to try:
Abdominal (Diaphragmatic) Breathing: This technique, which involves breathing deeply by expanding the belly rather than the chest, promotes better oxygenation and activates relaxation. Learn more here.
Coherent Breathing: Synchronize your breath with your heart rate to calm your body. Inhale deeply for 5 seconds, then exhale slowly for 5 seconds. Discover this technique here.
Meditation for radiant skin 🧘🏻
Meditation is an ancient practice that offers benefits for both the mind and body, including the skin. By meditating regularly, you can reduce cortisol levels, promote restorative sleep, and improve blood circulation, giving your skin a natural glow.
By integrating these techniques into your daily routine, you can not only reduce stress but also improve the health and appearance of your skin. Don’t hesitate to explore the provided links to deepen your knowledge and start practicing today.
