Redness & Sensitivity
Redness and sensitivity can make your skin feel sore, hot, and reactive. Image Skincare offers calming products that reduce redness and support delicate skin. These formulas are made with soothing ingredients that help cool, hydrate, and protect your face without causing more irritation. If your skin stings, flushes easily, or reacts to touch, this range is designed to help you feel more comfortable and confident. Whether it’s from rosacea, dryness, or over-exfoliation, there’s something here to calm things down.
What causes facial redness and skin sensitivity?
Facial redness and sensitivity often result from a weakened skin barrier. This barrier protects against outside triggers, but if it’s damaged by harsh products, sun exposure, or extreme weather, your skin can become reactive. Redness can also be linked to conditions like rosacea, eczema, or allergies. Other factors include spicy food, alcohol, stress, or over-exfoliation. The key is identifying your personal triggers and using skincare that supports your skin’s natural defences.
Can I use active ingredients if my skin is sensitive?
Yes, but it's important to be careful. Some active ingredients can be too strong for sensitive skin, but others are gentle and very helpful. For example, niacinamide helps soothe and repair without causing irritation. Hyaluronic acid adds moisture without clogging pores. Always avoid harsh acids or strong retinol unless advised by a skincare professional.
What’s the best skincare routine for red or reactive skin?
A simple, calming routine is best. Start with a gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip your skin. Follow with a soothing toner or serum that hydrates and supports your barrier. Moisturiser is essential so choose one with calming ingredients like chamomile or oat extract. Don’t skip SPF during the day, as sun exposure can make redness worse. Avoid anything with strong fragrances, alcohol, or exfoliating beads.
