More and more men are becoming aware that taking care of your skin is not only important for women. As a man, your skin may be a bit thicker, but this doesn't mean it is always problem-free. Especially in the cold months, many men suffer from dry, flaky, or red skin. Vitamin B5 is 'the holy grail' that too few men know about. Time to change that.
What is vitamin B5?
Vitamin B5, it sounds very nice, but what is it actually? Vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid, is a vitamin that can play an important role in the health of your skin. Vitamin B5 is water-soluble and is mainly found in animal products such as meat, fish, eggs, milk, etc. If you eat vegetarian, you may more easily develop a B5 deficiency.
What does vitamin B5 do for your skin?
Vitamin B5 is one of the most important vitamins for your skin. This is because it offers many benefits for your skin. We can certainly say that vitamin B5 and healthy skin go hand in hand.
Promotes natural cell renewal
Vitamin B5 is known for stimulating cell renewal. You can therefore understand why B5 is so beneficial for your skin. Through cell renewal, your skin will soon look younger and more radiant. Cell renewal is also ideal for wound healing and for repairing and softening small scars on your Face.
Ensures your skin retains moisture
One of the most important qualities of vitamin B5 is that it can easily attract and retain moisture. This optimally supports the barrier function of your skin. Not entirely unimportant, because your skin is the protective layer of your Face. When your skin barrier is healthy enough, it will be able to retain sufficient moisture. As a result, your skin will become much more elastic, making you look significantly younger. Fine lines and wrinkles are, as it were, 'filled up.' B5 keeps the youthfulness alive!
Calms your skin
Vitamin B5 is also known for its ability to calm your skin. So when you suffer from redness, irritation, or a tight feeling, vitamin B5 can lend your skin a helping hand. Vitamin B5 ensures healthy skin, even when it is irritated.
For which Skin Type does vitamin B5 help?
We have already mentioned between the lines what vitamin B5 can help with. Vitamin B5 is ideal for irritated, red, dry, flaky, tight, or rough skin. Several studies have shown that vitamin B5 can soothe this type of skin, resulting in an overall better skin appearance.
Vitamin B5 is also not unknown if you are looking for anti-aging products. Because vitamin B5 strengthens your skin barrier, wrinkles and fine lines will be filled. Even if you have previously suffered from, for example, acne, vitamin B5 will help your skin to soften small scars. Vitamin B5 has an antibacterial effect, which means that impure skin or skin suffering from acne can also be well helped.
Adding vitamin B5 to your routine
Adding vitamin B5 to your skincare routine can be done in many different ways. Always pay attention to the ingredient list if you want to purchase a product with vitamin B5. A well-known Serum with vitamin B5 as the main ingredient, is the Medik8 Hydr8 B5™ Intense. This Serum from Medik8 will optimally utilize all the positive properties of vitamin B5.
