Probably more than once I have met people who look neatly dressed, sharp, combed, but all of their cheeks are covered in red. It is said that the cheeks turn red out of shame, but can this really be the only reason and if not, what can be done to reduce such redness of the skin?

The cheeks can usually turn red for a number of reasons, such as a sudden change in temperature, a hot drink, alcohol, spicy food, excitement, or stress. However, there are quite a few people whose cheeks turn red even without these stimuli. In such cases, doctors call it a dysfunction of the skin - couperosis, or rosacea. The disease has two main symptoms: redness caused by changes in blood vessels, and an acne-like rash characterized by nodules, abscesses, and sebaceous gland dehydration. Pink usually occurs symmetrically on the nose, cheeks, as well as the chin, in the middle of the forehead.

There is no single answer as to why certain people suffer from persistent flushing from childhood. This problem can occur for a variety of reasons. Its onset may be due to congenital or acquired disorders of the vascular structure and function of the skin, which may be an excessive response to stimuli such as heat, a consequence of sun exposure. In the case of couperosis, it should be remembered that the disease can be triggered by improper cosmetics or skin care products, some medications, alcohol consumption, stress, heating in the sauna. That is why it is very important to take into account the composition of the cosmetics you use and to know which products are suitable for redheads.

First of all, you should choose only cosmetics and treatments that are suitable for this sensitive skin type. They usually perform several functions - both moisturizing and soothing, and healing and protecting. In this case, BB creams that moisturize the skin and give it a natural tone would be a better choice. Even better, if they also have healing properties. For example, the Dr.Jart + Red Affected Facial Skin Care Kit consists of a face mask, cream and serum. The Asian herb extract they contain not only provides a quick soothing effect, but also restores sensitive and damaged skin. The mask helps to relax, cool and soothe hot facial skin. Skeyndor serum, which provides freshness and immediately eliminates the feeling of stretching and redness of sensitive skin, is also highly valued by people who have encountered pink. This serum contains plant extracts that reduce skin couperosis and redness. In addition, it is ideal for use when traveling, as it helps the skin to adapt to climate change and the negative effects of the environment. Well, and if you want to at least briefly mask the reddened facial skin, the Make Up For Ever red masking make-up base is best, which instantly removes redness of the skin and smoothes the skin itself. Unlike other makeup bases, it dries quickly, so makeup can be done right away. The skin becomes radiant and smooth, making the makeup look flawless all day long. So, the most important thing is that the cosmetics or treatments you choose have biologically active components that help the blood to drain from the small veins, increase the resistance of the capillaries, and strengthen the tone of the blood vessels. Even for facial cleansing, you should choose to blush micellar water for prone skin.

If we are already talking about what measures are worth using for people with rosacea symptoms, it is important to mention and what measures should be avoided. It is important to refrain from products that promote blood flow into the blood vessels, such as clay, mud or other masks that dry hard, skin cleansers with alcohol, coarse scouring particles.

And to strengthen the blood vessels of the face, it is useful to supplement your diet with products containing vitamins P and C. The source of vitamin P is black currants, buckwheat, cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, grapes, citrus fruits. The latter are also a great source of vitamin C. You will also get it with cabbage, sea buckthorn, rosehip berries, paprika, broccoli, kiwi, strawberries.

And remember that in order to enjoy beautiful skin, it is necessary to take care of it both from the outside and from the inside!
