How do I reduce skin redness?

There are many reasons why your skin may become sensitive or red. Causes can include a reaction to a skincare product, over exfoliation and even diet.

The main thing to know is that your skin barrier is damaged, so you should do everything you can to protect it and help it to repair.
Here are our top tips to help reduce skin redness:

1. Avoid exfoliating ingredients at all costs – keep to calming and nourishing elements that won’t irritate your skin. Exfoliation helps to speed up the skin cycle – sensitive skin doesn’t need this step, it needs to repair the skin barrier.
2. Stick to a simple skincare routine – similar to the first point, over-complicating your skincare routine and adding unnecessary products or ingredients can irritate teen skin and damage your skin barrier
3. Apply your moisturiser more than once a day – topping up throughout the day will keep your skin hydrated and help to rebuild the damaged skin barrier.
4. SPF – the more your skin is protected from external elements, the better
