Treating Sensitivity and Redness
Sensitivity and redness are common skin concerns that can be caused and worsened by various factors. Identifying the underlying causes are essential for effective treatment. Here, we explore the primary causes of skin redness, including rosacea, broken capillaries, and reactive sensitive skin, along with recommended treatments to help you achieve a calm and balanced complexion.
Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes, acne-like bumps. The exact cause of rosacea is unknown, but it is believed to be linked to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Common triggers that can worsen rosacea include:
- Sun exposure
- Stress
- Very hot or cold weather
- Spicy foods and alcohol
- Acidic skincare products
To manage rosacea, it’s essential to use products that reduce redness and soothe the skin. We recommend Serum Erythros, a powerful serum formulated with seven active ingredients that work synergistically to target the visible signs of rosacea. This serum helps reduce visible areas of redness, diminishes the appearance of broken veins, and soothes any tingling sensations, providing comprehensive relief for those trying to manage their rosacea.
Broken Capillaries
Broken capillaries, also known as spider veins, are tiny blood vessels that become visible on the skin’s surface. They typically appear as red or purple lines on the face, particularly on the cheeks. They are often caused by:
- Sun damage
- Extreme temperatures
- Physical trauma to the skin
- Genetic predisposition
- Aging
To address broken capillaries, we recommend Creme Verte Espoir A.R. This corrective cream helps prevent and reduce visible signs of couperosis (a condition marked by persistent redness and visible capillaries) by improving overall skin quality. Its formula works to visibly reduce the spread and intensity of redness while limiting the appearance of small blood vessels, leaving your skin looking clearer and more even-toned.
Reactive, Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin reacts easily to external factors, often resulting in redness, irritation, and discomfort. Causes of sensitive skin can include:
- Harsh skincare products
- Environmental stressors (pollution, weather changes)
- Over-exfoliation
- Allergic reactions
For particularly sensitive skin, it’s advised to simplify your skincare routine to avoid irritation and to eliminate any potential irritants. We recommend focusing on the basics: a gentle cleanser, mask, serum, and cream.
An example routine would include Lait Dermo-S, Creme Masque Vernix, Serum Biosensible, and Emulsion Gel Biosensible. These products are all formulated to soothe, protect, and ease sensitivity and redness for reactive skin instants.
Understanding the root cause of your skin redness is the first step to effective treatment. Our expert estheticians can help you identify the specific triggers and recommend a tailored skincare routine to address your concerns.
