Defining redness on the face

Facial redness is an alteration in the skin tone that is usually accompanied by a sensation of itching, stinging or poor comfort of the facial skin, although it can also appear on other parts of the body.

Unfortunately, by soothing these symptoms we improve the appearance of our skin, reducing facial redness.

The sensitivity or reactivity of the skin are aspects that we observe every day more frequently in our stores, a specialized diagnosis with an expert routine are the key to eliminate the redness of the face or reduce them.

Why do facial redness appear?

Facial redness and irritation tend to occur mostly when the skin is dehydrated and its barrier damaged, so it is key to incorporate a moisturizer with a deep nourishing effect, to soothe your skin and reduce facial redness.

There is no single cause of reddened skin. External aggressions as a whole, pollution, heat, cold, stress... can cause redness and, if we already have it, worsen or intensify it. An effective way to eliminate facial redness is to avoid exposing the skin to the causes of redness.

How can redness on the face be eliminated?

By restoring the balance of the skin barrier we not only improve the appearance of the skin but also the very function for which it is designed, to protect us from external aggressions and maintain optimal values of hydration and the balance of skin barrier oils. Here are some tips to eliminate redness on the face effectively:

• Avoid sudden changes in temperature: avoid very hot showers or direct exposure to the sun.
• Avoid very spicy foods or frequent alcohol consumption. Facial skin shows redness if you are very sensitive to spicy food or alcohol intake.
• Use gentle facial cleansers that do not damage the skin barrier, as well as a balancing toner.
• Avoid using aggressive exfoliants on your skin, we recommend Life Plankton™ Creamy Peel.
• Choose specific aftershave products such as Baume Apaisant soothing alcohol-free aftershave treatment.
• Moisturize your skin with a formula like Cera Repair Barrier Cream to keep it hydrated and protected all day long despite heating or air conditioning, and remember to drink water frequently to prevent dehydration.
• Use sunscreen, both in winter and summer. By protecting your skin against UV rays and pollution all year round, not just in summer, we help your skin to avoid redness and further sensitization. Don't let redness on your face make you bitter; healthy, happy skin is possible!
