How does red skin occur?
Your skin is covered with billions of microorganisms. Countless bacteria, fungi, and viruses thrive on its surface. While this may sound a bit unpleasant at first, it's actually vital, because these microorganisms make up your skin's microbiome.
Together with dead skin cells, sweat, and natural oils, the microbiome is essential for the skin's protective barrier. This protective barrier acts as a kind of shield against external influences.
Environmental influences, pollutants, harsh cleaning products, improper care, and many other factors can severely compromise the skin's protective barrier . This can sometimes manifest itself in feelings of tightness or redness.
What disrupts the skin’s protective barrier?
In addition to external factors, internal factors can also affect the skin's own protective barrier. Hormonal changes during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or menopause often cause increased skin sensitivity. Constant changes in ambient temperature or exposure to pollutants can also make skin more sensitive.
For the benefit of your skin – adapt your care and lifestyle when skin redness occurs
If you're experiencing redness, you may need to rethink your lifestyle and skincare routine. Bringing your sensitive skin back into balance is often all that's needed. These are easy to implement:
- Weather protection : Cold is just as hard on your skin as heat. Therefore, you should protect it in winter with clothing and appropriate sunscreen. In summer, however, ensure protection against UV radiation.
- Indoor climate : Ensure a pleasant indoor climate. Dry, heated air is particularly stressful for your skin in winter. Humidifiers can help.
- Nutrition : A balanced diet can affect your skin's appearance. Vitamins A, E, C, and B vitamins, as well as various minerals, can support your skin's beauty from within. However, be mindful of your stimulants.
- Drink : Water is a real booster for your complexion. Improved circulation allows oxygen and nutrients to reach the skin. Skin appears rosier, plumper, and more elastic.
- Skincare products : Avoid alcohol and irritating fragrances in cosmetics. Check the ingredients in your cosmetics and only use skincare products specially formulated for sensitive skin.
