SKIN IRRITATIONS – WHAT IS IT?

Skin irritations have different causes, but they usually lead to the same symptoms: redness, pimples, itching and unpleasant burning of the skin. These symptoms usually lead to visible veins or red pustules, which are the result of malformations of the venous system. These veins and red pustules are also caused by skin diseases such as Rosacea, Couperose and Neurodermatitis.

Our tips against redness on the face

• Cleanse your skin before treatment with a Cleanser to remove all deposits. Then apply Tonic to a cotton pad and rub your skin with gentle movements from the center outwards. Thorough cleansing and tonic ensure that more active ingredients can subsequently be absorbed by the skin. It is important that the tonic is completely absorbed into the skin before further treatment.

• To cleanse the face if the skin is red, it is best to use a gentle cleansing milk or cream. Make sure to apply the milk evenly and rinse carefully and only with a little water. If the water dries out or strains your skin too much, dab the cleansing milk with a cotton pad.

• Then use a antibacterial and anti-inflammatory face cream to promote cell regeneration and strengthen connective tissue. Using such a cream helps to strengthen the skin barrier, increase elasticity and transport maximum moisture into the skin.
