FAQs

Can I exfoliate my skin if it's prone to redness?

Yes, but it’s important to do so in moderation. If you're experiencing active redness or a rosacea flare-up, it's best to avoid exfoliation until your skin has calmed down. 

Over-exfoliation can cause small disruptions in the skin’s barrier, leading to increased moisture loss and inflammation. For redness-prone skin, pairing anti-red skin products with occasional mild exfoliation is ideal for maintaining healthy-looking skin without worsening redness.

Invest in the best skincare for red skin like our Calmwise Soothing Cleanser to address irritated skin, our Calmwise Serum to support your skin's natural barrier and our Calmwise Colour Correct cream to even out your complexion.

How can I protect my skin from environmental factors that can cause redness?

To shield your skin from environmental triggers like pollution, wind and temperature changes, start with a barrier-strengthening moisturiser that hydrates and shields your skin from irritants. Follow this with a daily application of broad-spectrum sunscreen to prevent UV-induced redness.

For added defence, incorporate vitamin C-rich skin products for redness. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can help neutralise the effects of pollutants and UV exposure, keeping your skin calm and protected throughout the day.

How important is sunscreen for people with redness-prone skin?

Direct exposure of skin to sunlight or UV radiation can aggravate sensitivity and trigger inflammation, worsening redness over time. It can also result in various skin disorders like sunburn, inflammation, photo-immunosuppression, photoageing and even skin cancers. 

Regularly using broad-spectrum sunscreen helps protect against acute sunburn and long-term damage, such as skin cancers and photoageing. Be sure to reapply throughout the day, especially if you're spending time outdoors.

Are there any active skincare ingredients I should avoid using?

If you have sensitive or redness-prone skin, it’s best to avoid potentially irritating ingredients like fragrances, alcohol, sulphates, alpha-hydroxy acids and propylene glycol. Always patch test new skincare products for redness before incorporating them into your routine to ensure they won’t trigger a reaction.
