What causes facial redness?

With the exception of blushing triggered by sudden, strong emotions, has several causes. Facial redness can stem from various factors, including skin conditions like rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis. Environmental factors like sun exposure and cold weather, lifestyle choices like stress and alcohol, and allergies can also trigger redness. In some cases, underlying medical conditions may be the cause. If you experience persistent redness, consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.

Hypersensitive skin

Hypersensitivity is a common cause of facial redness. When skin is hypersensitive, its protective barrier is weakened, making it more susceptible to irritation and inflammation. This can lead to redness, itching, and other uncomfortable symptoms. Hypersensitive skin, weakened by environmental factors and internal stressors, can lead to redness, itching, and irritation.

Exogenous factors

Environmental elements like harsh weather conditions, including cold, wind, and excessive sun exposure, can irritate the skin and trigger redness. Pollution and airborne allergens can also aggravate sensitive skin and lead to inflammation. Additionally, certain lifestyle factors, such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, can contribute to skin redness and premature aging.

Skin conditions and disorders

Rosacea, a chronic skin condition, is characterized by persistent facial redness, often accompanied by visible blood vessels, small bumps, and pimples. Eczema, another common skin condition, can cause red, itchy patches on the face. Psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune disease, can manifest as red, scaly patches on the skin, including the face. These conditions can vary in severity and may require specific treatments to manage redness and other symptoms.

How can you reduce facial redness?

While complete redness eradication might be challenging, you can significantly reduce inflammation and soothe irritated skin with high-quality skincare. Prioritize gentle products and avoid potential triggers to prevent future flare-ups.

Tips and advice to diminish redness

Every day, in addition to applying a natural skincare product that fights redness, take a few simple measures to keep redness away:

• Sensitive and easily irritated skin is usually more prone to dehydration. Make sure you drink at least 1.5 litres of water a day, and even more if you're pregnant or do intense physical exercise.

• Protect your skin from the sun. While a small amount of sunlight is essential to replenish our Vitamin D reserves, it's no secret that the sun's rays can damage the skin. When the days are warm and sunny, don't forget to use a good sunscreen, and avoid going out in the sun during the hottest hours of the day.
