Redness, small pimples … These imperfections that are housed on the nose, cheeks, foreheads or around the mouth disturb. Fortunately, it is possible to mitigate them with effective beauty routine, targeted care and even makeup.
Multiple causes can be responsible for the appearance of redness on the face. First of all, there are the Genetic predispositions. If your mother is subject to these small imperfections (rosacea, rosacea), it is very possible that you inherited them. If your skin is fine and fragile, it will also be more sensitive to cold and pollution and therefore, will develop signs of discomfort and imperfections (pimples, irritation). But It is not only sensitive skin that are likely to develop redness and pimples. In reality, all skins can have them. Too vigorous gestures at the time of makeup removal, the use of too hot water or on the contrary too cold, or even a texture of cream unsuitable for your skin type can generate these skin problems.
The morning
Indispensable, I recommend a moisturizer to protect yourself wind, cold, pollution. The choice is made according to its type of skin: dry, mixed or oily. Creams now exist with or without sun protection, depending on the needs of the season. For rosacea -like redness, a moisturizer with A slight green shade (Plant component) allows you to hide up to 30 % of redness.
The evening
A cream to nourish And regenerate your skin. It is to be chosen according to its age, because the skin does not age in the same way at 35, 45 or 65 years. We apply it with sweet gestures, and above all, we do not confuse “quickly” and “strong”, because many of us do it! In the same way, we often put our cream five minutes before going to bed: it’s not good, the skin does not have time to soak up (the pillow yes!). It must therefore be applied further upstream in the evening.
What you need to know for example is The ideal water temperature To wash. It is 32 to 34 ° C. This temperature avoids drying out of the skin and does not solicit the phenomena of “vasoconstriction” or “vasodilation” of the small blood vessels which weaken in the long run. For the cleaning/removing step, it is imperative in the morning and evening that it must be done by favoring makeup remover in the form of a frost. Here are some practical little tips
- Place and emulsify with the pulp of the fingers
- Gently wipe with, either paper handkerchiefs, or cotton discs impregnated
- Spray the face with soothing spray water and perfect make -up removal with the pulp of the fingers
- Wipe again in the same way.
- Finally, it is very important by always moisturize Before going to makeup.
- For women who have small redness and not too much the habit of makeup, choose a Fluid foundation which will be perfect on areas like the cheeks. We put a very small quantity on the pulp of the fingers and we gently tap on redness. It is a technique that the gentlemen adopt to hide their rosacea without appearing made up.
- For a particular event, an evening, this same smoothed fluid foundation all over the face and enhanced with a sun powder on cheekbones will delight the followers of the “No Make Up” effect.
- For those who have more intense redness, accompanied other skin imperfections type pigmentary spots For example, you have to prefer a Compact cream without preservative and without perfume, which arises with a sponge, in small touches on the center of the face, Then gently smooths from the center to the outside of the face. The richness in pigments (40 to 45 %) of this type of makeup combines a remarkable covering effect with little product. In the event that redness is more marked And that the foundation is insufficient, we will bring a touch of green correctoreither in brush for small redness either in sticks for larger imperfections. This touch of green will neutralize – or to burner – redness and allow it to be concealed effectively and discreetly, by superimposing very little foundation.
Very practical, you can also use Corrector brushes which land directly on the small redness. They are also perfect for dark circles, pigment spots, lion’s wrinkles or nasogenian furrows …. we tap the fingertip to fix the pigments and we can add a light or even translucent powder touch To fix. To increase the holding of its makeup and also enjoy a pleasant moment of freshness, we finalize its beauty by beauty by a slight misting of the face at aIDE of a moisturizing spray. Finally, at Avène, I offer a little tip for any skin type, trying at home, a mini thermal water cure with an soaked and kept moist face compress with the spray for 10 minutes, before putting its night cream. In general, lifestyle plays an important role in skin health. On a daily basis, it is therefore important to have sufficient and regular sleep, to opt for a diet rich in vitamins and mineral salts (fruits, vegetables) and to protect yourself from the sun whatever the season.
