People with redness in the face are often those with fair and thin skin, however, they are not the only ones concerned! In question, either hyper-reactive skin or a skin disease.
When redness appears on the face, it is blood vessels present in the dermis which are involved. They expand and become more visible, in response to different situations:
In some people, redness appears very easily because of heredity, this is called so-called vaso-reactive skin :the blood vessels are very sensitive to it, more sensitive than average. Also, the older the skin, the more it is sensitive to redness.
Depending on the stimulus that caused the blood vessels to react, the redness may be temporary and last from a few minutes to a few hours. If the redness settles over time and is accompanied by other symptoms, such as itching, lesions, swelling or burning sensation, then the hypothesis of a skin disease should be considered.
Among the blood vessels that nourish the skin of the face, there are the blood capillaries. They are very fine and very sensitive vessels, almost on the surface of the skin, which react easily to attacks. In some cases, the dilation of these vessels creates plaques on the face , more or less pronounced and extended.
They can remain permanently on the face, or appear intermittently. We then speak of couperose, rosacea or erythrosis. These three names refer to the same disease, but at different stages:
If the origin of this disease is still unknown, researchers believe that it is an extreme form of hyper-reactivity of the skin . If you find yourself experiencing the above symptoms, an accompaniment by a dermatologist is recommended. For skin that is "simply" reactive, it is advisable to take care of your skin with suitable products and gestures.
Skin prone to redness needs to be protected from external aggressions and treated gently. So, avoid showers that are too hot and wash your face with hot water. Heat tends to dilate blood vessels and increase facial redness , so prefer the cold to wash your face.
Of course, the choice of products that make up your daily skincare routine is also very important:use products that are gentle, respectful of the skin and its natural pH, suitable for reactive skin . For example, to remove make-up and cleanse the skin, soaps are to be avoided, as they are too harsh. It is better to remove make-up with oil, and apply the oil with your fingertips, to avoid rubbing with cotton or a cleansing wipe.
To reduce facial redness, take the time every day to moisturize and nourish your skin:these gestures strengthen the hydrolipidic film, the barrier made up of water and lipids that protects your skin against external aggressions. If your skin is nourished and hydrated, it will be less sensitive to temperature differences, pollution, friction, and redness will naturally fade .

If after taking care of your skin, some redness remains, it is quite possible to camouflage them with suitable makeup. To neutralize redness, it is recommended to use a green concealer . Once the concealer has been applied smoothly, apply your foundation with a brush.
To avoid causing redness, be delicate in your make-up gestures:do not rub, apply the materials delicately with a brush. On the reddest areas, you can finalize the make-up using a concealer, with small local touches. Finish with a veil of powder.
