When the skin reddens: a signal not to ignore
Have you noticed that your face reddens easily? Burning, tingling, or tight skin sensations can be the first signs of a skin barrier imbalance. In this article, you will discover why it happens, what the most effective remedies are, and what to apply immediately to gently, safely, and naturally soothe red skin.
The most common causes of skin redness
Sudden climatic changes
Intense cold, wind, sun exposure, or temperature changes cause capillary vasodilation, leading to redness and irritation.
Air pollution
Microparticles present in the air alter the skin's hydrolipidic film, causing inflammation and redness.
Harsh or unsuitable cosmetics
Irritating ingredients, perfumes, alcohol, or surfactants can compromise the skin barrier and increase reactivity.
Emotional stress and hormonal imbalances
The skin is a psychoactive organ: anxiety and stress increase cortisol production, resulting in skin sensitivity.
Skin conditions
Atopic dermatitis, rosacea, couperose, and erythema manifest with recurring and chronic redness.
What to apply immediately on red skin?
When sudden redness occurs, it is essential not to further irritate the skin. Here's what to do:
1. Cleanse with a gentle product
Avoid foaming or overly scented cleansers. Choose mousses or cleansing oils with physiological pH and soothing ingredients.
2. Apply a soothing serum or cream
Prefer formulas with Bisabolol, Thermal Water, Aloe Vera, Mallow, Marshmallow, Calendula. These actives are known for their calming and anti-inflammatory properties.
3. Avoid heavy or harsh makeup
Let the skin breathe and do not clog pores during inflammation phases.
4. Protect the skin from external agents
Use a barrier cream or protective cosmetic when you go outside.
