How To Minimise Redness With Skinstitut

If you suffer with facial redness, then it may be time to turn to Skinstitut for help. This advanced Australian skincare brand has developed the perfect products to help even out your skin tone and minimise redness.

Skinstitut is a skincare brand with a scientific background. Made up of cosmetics chemists and pharmacists, the Skinstitut team has developed high-quality skincare products with potent active ingredients. This serious brand doesn't waste time and resources on marketing gimmicks or fancy packaging. Skinstitut's mission is simply to deliver products that work.

What are the Main Causes of Facial Redness? 

There are many different causes of a red complexion, including:

• Physical damage to the skin's natural barrier (e.g. over-exfoliating or using harsh body products on the face—yes, we're referring to that exfoliating mitt!)

• Climate (air conditioning, extreme changes in climate, flying)

• Pollution

• Lack of sleep

• Stress

• Medications

• Illnesses and impaired immunity

• Diet (such as one low in vitamins B & C, or eating lots of processed foods)

• High alcohol consumption

• Caffeinated beverages, particularly coffee

With so many causes, it may seem impossible to diagnose your skin and find out exactly why it's acting up. Fortunately, Skinstitut offers products that can cool and soothe your skin, no matter the cause of your irritation.

Which Skinstitut Skin Care Product Should I Use to Reduce Redness?

Skinstitut tells us, 'Topical B vitamins are a great inclusion in your regime if redness and flushing are a concern, as are other soothing and calming ingredients like Canadian willowherb (anti-inflammatory) and cucumber oil (soothing and healing).'

If you want to minimise redness, you should opt for products from Skinstitut's Calming range, all of which are gentle on the skin and reduce the risk of irritation.

Skinstitut advocates a five-step system: cleanse, exfoliate, correct, hydrate, and protect. If you suffer from redness, the brand's skincare experts recommend:

Step 1 - Cleansing

• For more help choosing a Skinstitut cleanser that is suited to your skin type, read through our guide 'Which Skinstitut Cleanser Is Right for Me?'

Step 2 - Exfoliation

• If you'd like know more about using the Skinstitut Enzymatic Micro Peel, check out our guide 'How Skinstitut Enzyme Peels Can Benefit Your Skin'

Step 3 - Correcting

• We also recommend using Skinstitut Multi-Active Mist as a skin corrector. Ideal for all skin types, this facial hydrating spray is especially beneficial for those with sensitive and dehydrated skin that is showing early signs of ageing.

Step 4 - Moisturiser

Skinstitut also offers moisturisers that are specifically designed for different skin types:

• Skinstitut Moisture Defence - Ultra Dry

• Skinstitut Moisture Defence - Oily Skin

Step 5 - Protect Your Skin Barrier

All of these products reduce the risk of increased irritation and redness, and are perfect for sensitive skin. However, if you're looking to actively minimise existing redness, Skinstitut Laser Aid will be most beneficial to your routine.

What is Skinstitut Laser Aid?

Skinstitut Laser Aid is a multipurpose product offering maximum protection as it works to heal skin. Laser Aid contains a rich blend of vitamin concentrates, botanical extracts, and antioxidants that strengthen and repair skin integrity, helping to nourish the skin and alleviate redness or discomfort.

Laser Aid can be used as a non-steroidal alternative to hydrocortisone cream whenever inflammation, redness, or irritation arises. This product instantly cools and soothes hot, reactive, or sun-exposed skin whilst repairing damage.

Because of its powerful ability to actually draw heat out of the skin, Laser Aid is recommended for rosacea, microdermabrasion, waxing, and shaving. This wonder product even makes a great mask for breakout-prone skin due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

Facial redness doesn't have to be a lifelong affliction. Whilst there are many causes of reddened skin, we also carry many solutions at Adore Beauty!
