There’s something about sauna time that brings us closer to ourselves. The heat, the silence, the rhythm of breath — it’s where everything unnecessary falls away. And that includes skincare that over-promises and under-delivers.
That’s why we’ve started reaching for something simple, proven, and gentle: niacinamide.
If you haven’t met it yet, niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3. It’s been quietly making waves in the skincare world for good reason — it helps your skin do what it’s naturally meant to do: stay strong, calm, and balanced.
So, why bring it into the sauna?
Because heat and sweat can be intense on the skin. While the sauna deeply cleanses and helps your body reset, it can also strip away oils and leave your skin feeling a little raw. Niacinamide steps in like a calming friend — reducing redness, strengthening the skin barrier, and helping your skin hold onto moisture without feeling greasy or heavy.
It’s perfect post-sauna. Just a light layer of niacinamide serum or cream after your rinse can soothe the flush and keep your skin glowing, not gasping.
And what does it actually do?
-
Balances sebum production (great for both dry and oily skin types)
-
Fades redness and irritation
-
Strengthens the skin barrier over time
-
Boosts your skin’s natural glow
-
Works for almost everyone — even sensitive skin
At Lost Folks, we love niacinamide not because it’s trendy, but because it’s honest. No hype, no heavy scent, no stinging. Just a little drop of balance in an already grounding ritual.
Bring it with you next time you step into the warmth — your skin will thank you.
Stay calm, stay curious,
Lost Folks
