Whether due to rosacea, eczema or sensitive skin, red, flushed skin can be frustrating to manage. Fortunately, there are a few proven ways to calm and even help to prevent red, inflamed skin. Here are our top three tips to try if this sounds like a familiar skincare challenge for you.
1. Try Broadband Light (BBL) Treatments
BBL therapy is one of the best-known treatments for facial redness, utilizing cutting-edge technology to target blood vessels and pigmentation beneath the surface of your skin. Even better still, BBL treatments are remarkably gentle on the skin, are non-invasive and come with little to no downtime. Our skin care specialists have a wealth of experience administering BBL treatments and can tailor the treatment for your specific skin concerns.
2. Soothe Your Skin with Anti-Inflammatory Skincare
Don’t underestimate the power of a customized medical-grade skincare routine when managing redness, flushing and other signs of sensitive skin. Look for products that contain soothing anti-inflammatory ingredients like niacinamide, green tea extract and chamomile to calm redness and irritation. And don’t forget to apply a daily sunscreen, as UV exposure can make redness and irritation worse.
3. Avoid Triggers
In addition to sun exposure, there are many environmental triggers that can make red, flushed skin worse. Try to avoid these known triggers, or others that you may have noticed seem to irritate your skin:
- Very hot or cold temperatures
- Spicy foods
- Hot beverages
- Fragrances in skincare and personal care products
