Let’s Talk Redness: Why Your Skin Is Freaking Out (and How to Fix It)

Let’s Talk Redness: Why Your Skin Is Freaking Out (and How to Fix It) - SkinShop

 

If your skin’s been looking a little too flushed lately — and not in the cute rosy-cheeked way, you’re not alone! Redness is one of the most common skin concerns and it’s usually your skin’s way of waving a big red flag (literally) that it needs some extra care. But don’t panic — we’ve got you covered with calming creams, soothing serums and barrier-boosting heroes that can help you go from red to radiant.

Ready? Let’s dive in.

Why Is My Skin So Red?

Redness happens for all sorts of reasons. Maybe it’s the weather outside, your barrier is feeling fragile or you’ve been hitting the exfoliants a little too hard. It could be rosacea, irritation from products or even just stress. Whatever the reason, the goal is the same: calm it down and keep it that way.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • A compromised skin barrier is often the culprit. When your barrier is weak it can’t protect your skin properly leading to irritation and redness.
  • Environmental triggers like extreme weather (both hot and cold) and indoor heating can cause flare-ups by drying out the skin and making it more prone to sensitivity.
  • Lifestyle factors such as diet, stress and alcohol can play a role.

The key to reducing redness? Focus on strengthening your barrier and soothing your skin with the right products.

Lifestyle Tips to Keep Redness at Bay

  • Skip hot showers — Heat can make redness worse so stick to lukewarm water.
  • Protect your skin from the elements with SPF and barrier creams.
  • Watch out for indoor heating — It can dry out your skin so use a humidifier to add moisture back into the air.
  • Manage stress with activities like yoga meditation or even a walk outside.
