Conceal Without Makeup

Step 1: Maybe you haven’t realised, but it’s time for you to reassess your facewash. Dryness is one skin condition with facilitates red colouration. Therefore, if your face cleanser is leaving your skin dry and patchy, you need to switch to a fragrance and silicone free hydrating cleanser.

Step 2: Do not scrub your skin. Scrubbing is only going to cause inflammation and aggravate redness in such a scenario. It is best you strictly avoid it.

Step 3: Make sure you are only patting your skin with a towel to dry it and not wiping your face with the towel. Chances are you will only unsettle your skin further if your rub towel against redness.

Step 4: This is the final step where all you need to do is use a hydrating face cream or jelly which will provide your skin a strong shield from external irritants. It is the best to look for gels or creams with ingredients such as peptides, ceramides and hyaluronic acid.
