Redness: The Soothing Routine.

Facial redness also referred to as facial erythema when temporary or erythrosis when it becomes permanent, is particularly noticeable on fair skin. Redness is caused by a significant blood flow when the capillaries that irrigate the skin excessively dilate in the dermis. Numerous internal and external factors can trigger this phenomenon, such as heat, stress, or UV rays. Most often, redness indicates skin hypersensitivity and an alteration of the skin barrier. It can be either diffuse or localized to specific areas of the face. In the latter case, it often affects the cheeks, an area with a high vascular richness.

Certain inflammatory dermatoses such as acne, eczema, or even rosacea can also cause redness. In this case, only a dermatologist will be able to treat them effectively.

To combat redness, we recommend incorporating soothing agents into your skincare routine, such as beta-glucan. This natural polysaccharide possesses anti-inflammatory properties that reduce skin hypersensitivity and accelerate its repair process while hydrating it. You can find this active ingredient in our soothing serum. To be applied before the moisturizing cream, this serum suitable for sensitive skin hydrates and soothes the skin while reducing redness. Among the soothing agents, we also recommend niacinamide, allantoin, bisabolol , and cornflower hydrosol.

Reducing redness also involves rebuilding the skin barrier. For this, it is beneficial to use certain vegetable oils (hemp oil, argan oil, avocado oil...) and other lipid-replenishing ingredients like squalane. Having an excellent affinity with the skin, this active ingredient combats skin dryness, strengthens the hydrolipidic film, and helps to reduce feelings of tightness and redness. Non-greasy, squalane easily penetrates the epidermis and softens its touch. You can find this active ingredient in our nourishing serum, which is composed of 100% squalane.

Practicing one to two exfoliations per week is an integral part of a skincare routine. Sometimes considered too harsh for the skin, this habit can deter people with sensitive skin or those prone to redness. However, regular removal of dead cells has numerous benefits for skin health: reduction of imperfections, aid in the penetration of active ingredients... In order to enjoy the virtues of exfoliation without sensitizing the skin, the key is to choose a product that is suitable for your skin type.

If your skin is sensitive and frequently exhibits redness, we recommend our radiance facial scrub. Suitable for sensitive skin, this melting gel with micro grains of apricot kernels acts gently to promote cellular renewal . It helps to reduce pigmentation irregularities and leaves the skin soft and rejuvenated.

Morning and evening, it is essential to properly hydrate your skin using a moisturizing cream or balm. This simple act helps to strengthen the skin barrier, whose weakening is often the cause of redness. Specially designed for this purpose, our anti-redness cream reduces the sensations of heat and softens the skin day after day. It is enriched with active ingredients targeting redness and notably contains azelaic acid, known for its anti-inflammatory effects, niacinamide, which promotes the production of ceramides and calms redness, green algae extract, targeting vascular imperfections, and safflower oil, contributing to the maintenance and integrity of the epidermis.

Whether it's summer or winter, UV rays can reach and damage the skin. In addition to causing premature aging, they can weaken the hydrolipidic film and the horny layer, making the skin more susceptible to external aggressions and, consequently, to redness. That's why we advise you to apply a daily sun care product suitable for your phototype as the last step of your morning routine. It's worth noting that, even if you have dark skin, an SPF30 provides a minimum level of protection. Today, there is a multitude of galenic forms for sun care products (creams, milks, sprays, sticks..) allowing each skin type to find the product that suits them.
