Sensitive redness is not a skin type, but a skin condition. Its root cause mostly points to the same problem: impaired skin barrier function.
1.Stop Damaging Your Skin Barrier
Simplify your skincare routine immediately: Stop using exfoliating products, highly concentrated irritating products, and cleansing masks. Switch to an amino acid-based cleanser and keep the water temperature between 32-35°C, avoiding rubbing your skin.
2.Core Ingredients for Barrier Repair
Choose repair products containing the following ingredients:
Ceramides: Replenish intercellular lipids and rebuild the “brick-and-mortar structure”.
Centella Asiatica Extract: Quickly soothes redness and inhibits inflammatory responses.
Squalane: Mimics the skin’s lipid barrier, forming a protective layer.
Panthenol: Deeply moisturizes and promotes wound healing.
3.Protection and Soothing
Strict sun protection is crucial, with physical sun protection (hats, masks) being the first choice. Use a humidifier in air-conditioned rooms to avoid sudden temperature changes. For sudden redness, apply a thick layer of moisturizing repair cream or apply a cold compress through a towel to relieve the symptoms.
4.Be patient and persistent
The skin’s metabolic cycle is approximately 28 days, while the skin barrier requires 3-6 months to repair. During this period, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and create a stable environment for skin repair.
