A reddened epidermis is actually sensitive skin that also has vascular and capillary fragility. It is therefore an important site of inflammation (=alteration of collagen), where wrinkles appear more quickly than on normal skin. In addition, vasodilation is faster there:a sudden stress, a change in temperature,
certain foods… and presto, we turn into a tomato. We speak of flush when the phenomenon occurs occasionally and of couperose when it is more frequent (in this case, the dermatologist can prescribe laser sessions to improve skin sensitivity).
Treat the causes of inflammation and act on vasodilation to limit redness.
The idea is to use well-tolerated anti-aging active ingredients to limit inflammation phenomena.
Resveratrol is a particularly recommended polyphenol because it combines a powerful antioxidant action with a vasoconstrictor effect. You can also bet on “sensitive skin” active ingredients (sugars and retinol derivatives) and combine them with anti-redness molecules (bisabolol, ambophenol, etc.).
