That burning sensation after a day in the sun, that annoying tingling sensation that comes on for no apparent reason, or maybe that time you tried a new skincare product and the result was a disaster. If you have red or irritated facial skin, you know what we're talking about.
Sometimes it's the cold winter wind that seems to "scratch" the skin, other times it's a period of stress in which even the face seems to suffer, as if everything else wasn't enough. And then there are those who have such sensitive skin that even a delicate product can trigger unwanted reactions. Have you ever found yourself desperately looking for a solution, perhaps spending hours on the internet or in front of the cosmetics shelf without knowing which one to choose?
Sometimes to ensure the maximum well-being of your skin, very little is needed, even just one product can make the difference.
Facial irritation and redness: what are the causes?
The skin on the face is particularly exposed and delicate, and therefore it is easier for it to become irritated or red. Understanding what causes redness is the first step to preventing and managing these problems in the best possible way.
Environmental factors are certainly the most common. Exposure to the sun without adequate protection (even in winter) is a major source of irritation: UV rays damage the skin barrier and can cause redness and sensitivity. Wind and pollution also contribute to irritating the skin, removing the natural oils that protect it and facilitating the entry of irritants.
Another cause of redness on the face is linked to the use of unsuitable or too aggressive cosmetic products . Soaps, creams, scrubs and cleansers with strong chemical ingredients, such as alcohol , can alter the natural pH of the skin and weaken its defenses.
Dermatological conditions , such as rosacea, atopic dermatitis or skin allergies, often manifest themselves with redness and irritation. So be careful not to confuse a temporary or seasonal discomfort with a more complex dermatological problem. If you are unsure and want to understand the origin of the irritation, the advice is to contact a dermatologist: a professional evaluation will allow you to identify the cause and choose the most suitable treatment.
Finally, there is stress and an unbalanced lifestyle (such as poor nutrition or lack of sleep): these factors also play an important role, influencing the general health of the body and skin.
Understanding why your facial skin is red is essential to identifying the right solutions and most suitable treatments.
Gentle cleansing: the first step to healthy skin
Cleansing is one of the most important things you can do if you want to take care of your facial skin. Proper cleansing not only removes impurities, sebum and traces of makeup, but also helps preserve the skin barrier, protecting the skin from further irritation.
To make sure you're doing the best for your skin:
- Choose gentle cleansing products , specifically formulated for sensitive skin.
- Avoid harsh soaps or solutions containing alcohol, perfumes or other potentially irritating ingredients.
- Opt for products without foam , with a neutral or slightly acidic pH, enriched with soothing ingredients that help calm and hydrate the skin.
- Pay attention to the temperature of the water : if it is too hot it can increase the redness and further sensitize the skin. Use warm water and pat it gently with a soft towel, without rubbing.
Then pay attention to frequency: washing your face twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, is enough to keep your skin clean without stressing it. Evening cleansing, in particular, is crucial to eliminate impurities accumulated during the day, such as fine dust and makeup residues.
If your skin is particularly sensitive, consider using gentle micellar waters or cleansing oils . These products allow you to cleanse your face without compromising the skin's natural balance, offering an immediate feeling of comfort and protection.
But what if we told you that, whatever your skin type, there is a product that can hydrate, calm, soothe and rebalance the dermis? And that this product is also perfect for facial irritation and redness?
