Redness
Let's combat skin redness together!
Anti-redness skincare can target a range of concerns from flushing flare-ups to persistent, blotchy redness due to damaged, inflamed skin.
What causes redness?
If you’re experiencing flushed, red skin on your face there are a number of triggers that could be responsible.
- Stress
- Extreme temperatures and sun exposure
- Spicy food
- Fragrances and alcohol in skincare
- Alcoholic drinks – especially wine
- Smoking
Existing skin conditions associated with redness, like rosacea, can be exacerbated by these factors.
The best ingredients to treat redness
An effective anti-redness skincare routine should not only provide immediate cooling relief for visibly red skin, it should also work to strengthen the skin barrier.
When the barrier is weakened and damaged, skin is more prone to irritation and redness.
— PEPPERMINT OIL: With superior purifying and cooling antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, Peppermint Green Oil is an effective, natural oil to combat acne, unclog pores and soothe redness.
— NIACINAMIDE (VITAMIN B3): Niacinamide can help decrease redness, blotchiness and ease inflammation by improving barrier function. If you suffer from rosacea, eczema, or any other skin concerns that cause a weakened skin surface, niacinamide will help protect against environmental factors that can cause redness flare-ups.
— HYALURONIC ACID: Any impaired skin barrier that is suffering from dry, flaky, reactive or over stripped skin will benefit from this hydration boosting active ingredient. Beneficial for all skin types including conditions like eczema and dermatitis.
— ALLANTOIN: Non-irritating allantoin soothes and protects the skin and has the ability to help heal and stimulate the growth of new tissue.
— ARNICA: Calms the redness and inflammation associated with rosacea. Increases white blood cell activity to help combat irritation.
