Some may say it's nothing but we know that living with redness and dreading flushing can be a real problem every day. The good news is that there are allies you can count on to help reduce redness and provide lasting relief for the skin on your face. Here are all our tips for restoring confidence in your skin.
Choosing the right ingredients for anti-redness skincare
Are you prone to flushing and sometimes blush “ for no reason ”? Do you suffer from rosacea, the skin condition that causes permanent redness on the face? In both cases, it is essential to choose products that are suitable for skin prone to redness. These dermo-cosmetics should contain minimal ingredients, so as not to risk further sensitising your reactive skin.
The active ingredients used must be selected for their effectiveness against redness. For example, HMC (Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone) is a component that has the ability to promote skin microcirculation. This helps to reduce redness on the cheeks as well as on the rest of the face. TRP-REGULINTM reduces the reactivity of the skin, thus preventing redness.
Gentle cleansing for greater comfort
Facial cleansing is a very important part of skincare. So don't neglect this step and choose a suitable cleansing product to start a soothing ritual. Choose a product with a texture adapted to your skin type and sensitivity, preferably a milk or gel lotion rather than a micellar water. You need the right product and also the right gestures to clean without irritating. Apply with your fingertips, and gently wipe off any excess with a tissue if necessary. The aim is to avoid “ rubbing ” your face, so as not to create new redness. Avoid using tap water, which may contain too much limescale or chlorine.
Soothe and protect to calm facial redness
To quickly relieve unpleasant sensations such as hot flushes, while preventing redness, you can apply a soothing anti-redness mask. This type of treatment offers triple effectiveness: it immediately soothes irritation, moisturises the skin and delivers active ingredients that act in depth against redness.
You should also use day creams that protect against external aggressors. This will make it easier to prevent redness throughout the day. For example, some products offer photoprotection, to protect you from the sun's rays, which can irritate and further sensitise your skin.
FRIENDLY (AND EXPERT) ADVICE
Establish a regular care routine
The secret to effective results? Regularity! Your skin must have time to feel all the benefits of the anti-redness active ingredients. A new cosmetic product or a little heavy-duty cleansing, and your face can quickly rebel and raise the red flag. To be sure of effective and lasting results, you need to be patient and avoid experimenting on your skin for some time.
