Redness on the face can be caused by a variety of factors, including contact dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, sunburns, acne, dryness, and over-exfoliation. To reduce redness, it is important to first identify the underlying cause. Here are some tips from dermatologists:

Use soothing skincare:

Ongoing facial redness may be a sign that your skin is irritated, sensitive, or dry. Dermatologists recommend using gentle, fragrance-free products that are formulated for sensitive skin. Avoid using physical scrubs, alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxy acids (AHAs and BHAs), and enzymes, which can further irritate the skin.

Wear sunscreen:

Sun exposure can exacerbate facial redness, so it is important to wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays.

Apply a cold compress:

A wet washcloth in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes can help constrict blood vessels and relieve redness and blotchiness.

Take a cool shower:

Keeping your skin away from direct heat can keep redness at bay. Avoid hot showers with a sunburn.

Use a soothing mask:

Natural face masks and sheet masks make for great at-home treatments when they contain the right ingredients. Rosewater is known for reducing redness and calming irritated skin.

Remember, if you have chronic facial redness, it is important to see a dermatologist to rule out any underlying medical issues.
