There are many causes of skin redness, and some people may experience skin redness on a daily basis. Even though it can be covered up to some extent with make-up, applying too many layers of make-up can be a burden on the skin. In this blog, we will discuss why skin redness occurs and how to solve it using our products.

Causes of Redness

1) Skin Inflammation

First of all, one of the main factors contributing to skin redness is the skin’s barrier function. The outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, is only about 0.02 mm thick and is protected by a thin film of natural oils that help keep moisture. The stratum corneum itself contains natural moisturizing factors that protect the skin from external stimuli and prevent moisture evaporation. However, when the stratum corneum is disrupted by dryness or other factors, the barrier function declines and the skin becomes more vulnerable to external stimuli. As a result, the skin becomes prone to inflammation as a defensive reaction, leading to redness.

2) Irritation to the skin

Skin redness can also be caused by both external and internal factors. External irritants include UV rays, pollen, house dust, changes in temperature and humidity, and even excessive scrubbing during cleansing. On the other hand, internal factors such as stress, hormonal imbalance, and lack of sleep can also affect the skin and make it sensitive.

3) Lack of Moisture

Furthermore, one of the major causes of weakened barrier function is the lack of moisture in the skin. In particular, dry winter air, summer air conditioning, and sun exposure can cause skin dryness regardless of the season. As skin becomes drier, it becomes more vulnerable to external stimuli, and redness may worsen.

Solution

To improve skin redness, it is important to protect the barrier function and keep the skin well moisturized while reducing irritation. Here is how our products can help:

1) Gentle Cleansing

The first step in skincare is cleansing, but without causing unnecessary friction on the skin. Scrubbing your face to remove dirt and grime can damage the skin's barrier function. This is why we recommend using Ceramide Fuwafuwa Forming Cleanser. Just one pump of this cleanser produces a rich, ultra-fine foam that gently cleanses while reducing friction on the skin. It contains the moisturizing ingredients fermented rice extract and coconut amino acid to provide hydration while cleansing. In addition, our natural human-type ceramides are included to replenish lost ceramides during cleansing and support the skin’s barrier function. After washing, your skin feels so soft and hydrated, helping to prevent redness caused by dryness. If you have been thinking that washing your face is just about removing dirt, it may be time to reconsider it as the first essential step in skincare.

2) Strengthening the Skin Barrier

As mentioned earlier, the barrier function declines due to a lack of ceramide in the skin. It is an important component that supports this barrier function, but its level decreases with age, making the skin more susceptible to external stimuli. This is why we recommend Pure Ceramide Concentrate. It has a similar structure to ceramide found in human skin, and its long-chain ceramide form allows it to penetrate deep into the skin and remain there for a long time. The purity of ceramide is extremely high, with over 95%, and it can help reinforce the skin's barrier function. Not only does this keep the skin moisturized, but it also reduces the appearance of redness, wrinkles, blemishes, and pores. This hero item is recommended for those who are not sure which serum to use. Try it and see the difference in your skin.

3) Lock in Hydration

Lastly, moisturizing care that not only supports the skin's barrier function but also prevents moisture evaporation from the skin is essential. Especially after replenishing ceramides, it is important to lock in moisture. . For this reason, we recommend Ceramide Water Velvet Cream. This gel-type cream contains natural human-type ceramide, which further strengthens the barrier function while filling the skin with moisture. Furthermore, as the product name suggests, it leaves a velvety smooth finish after application, so it is ideal for those who do not like a sticky feeling. It can also be used before makeup, so you do not have to worry about your makeup falling off or your skin looking shiny later. By incorporating this product into your daily skincare routine, you will be able to maintain the moisture balance of your skin and achieve healthy skin that is less prone to redness.

If you’re struggling with skin redness, just a little change in your skin care may lead to a solution. Of course, it is not only skincare, but also sleep and diet in your daily life will be related, so it is necessary to review them little by little. So, try to incorporate our products into your daily routine, and let's take care of the root cause of your skin redness together.
