Skin Quality
Redness
Calmer-looking skin, starting with the cause.
What it is
Redness can come from many things: sensitive or irritated skin, flushing, rosacea, broken capillaries, or inflammation after breakouts. Each has a different cause, so the first step is working out which one you have.
Treatment usually combines calming the skin, avoiding triggers and, where it helps, treatments that target the redness or visible vessels directly.
Common causes
- Sensitive or irritated skin
- Rosacea and flushing
- Small visible blood vessels
- Inflammation after acne
- Sun, heat, alcohol and spicy food as triggers
- Harsh products
Areas
- Cheeks
- Nose
- Chin
- Around the nose
How we plan it
We start by identifying the cause. Rosacea and other skin conditions may need medical treatment, and we'll tell you if that's the case.
Calming skin care and sun protection are the base of every plan. Some treatments aren't suitable during a flare, so timing matters.
Skin care at home
Products with centella or heartleaf are known for calming the skin, and daily sunscreen helps prevent flare-ups.
