When the skin’s vessels dilate quickly, redness appears on the surface of the face: this is a flush. The vessels then return to normal.
But in the long-term, the phenomenon worsens and the vessels, more and more dilated, become visible to the naked eye and this redness risks becoming permanent.Different factors can encourage and worsen this redness:

• External factors, like UV rays, pollution, climate, food and stress cause the skin’s micro-circulation to speed up.
• les facteurs internes comme les émotions, la consommation de café ou d’épices
• Heredity: redness can occur in people who have vasoreactive skin, a skin characteristic that can be familial..
• Skin ageing: from the age of 25 the skin becomes more sensitive to redness

Certain active ingredients suitable for sensitive skin can be found in dermocosmetics. These include:

• Vitamin C which strengthens the wall of delicate vessels.
• Vitamin B which fortifies the skin to protect it from external irritants and climate variations.

• Use make-up removers without rinsing and avoid cleansing the face with water
• Apply anti-redness moisturisers daily
• Soothe the skin by using a thermal spring water spray mist

• Watch your diet and limit your intake of alcohol, spicy foods, coffee, etc…
• Protect yourself from climate variations by avoiding sudden hot-cold changes and using skincare products that contain a sunscreen
