Redness, where does it come from and what to do to get rid of it? They mainly appear in people with thin skin and hyperreactivity in the blood vessels. They are divided into four main categories:
Temporary redness or flushingThis redness results from the rapid and significant dilation of the skin's blood capillaries. They are generally caused by strong emotion, rapid change in temperature, and consumption of hot drinks or spicy food. Diffuse and permanent redness, erythrosisIn the long run, temporary redness can become permanent: The vessels dilate but no longer return to normal. Erythrosis is mainly located on the cheeks. RosaceaThis is the permanent appearance of small red or even purple vessels on the surface of the skin. Inflammatory rosacea (or acne rosacea)It is an inflammatory dermatosis mainly localized on the face. It can be associated with seborrheic conditions often illustrated by the presence of red pimples, sometimes “white-headed”, very similar to acne pimples. |
DID YOU KNOW ? Certain factors can promote and worsen skin redness: Too cold or sunny environment which accelerates skin micro-circulation Emotions, consumption of stimulants or spices heredity Age, from 25 years old the skin is more and more prone to redness |
Redness can be of different intensities and expressed in different ways. Note, however, that rosacea and inflammatory rosacea are not necessarily successive in time nor the consequence of one another.
THE KEY ACTIVE INGREDIENTS OF THE ROSALINA RANGE
DERMINA uses anti-redness active ingredients in high-tolerance formulas to offer complementary care that meets the specific needs of skin prone to redness.
RUSCUS EXTRACT
Also known as Little Holly, ruscus is a shrub used since Antiquity to soothe venous and circulatory problems. It was much later that we discovered that the roots of ruscus contain substances from the flavonoid family with vasoconstrictor and vasculoprotective properties.
Ruscus extract is today widely used in topical treatments for its skin-protecting and cutaneous microcirculation-stimulating properties.
RED VINE LEAF EXTRACT
The red vine is a variety of vine characterized by its leaves which turn particularly red in the fall. Harvested at this precise moment, its leaves contain a large quantity of anthocyanosides, pigments responsible for their red coloring.
Red grape leaves also contain polyphenols and flavonoids. All these substances have protective and stimulating properties (veins and small blood vessels, etc.), as well as an anti-oxidant action. Red vine leaf extract is known to help strengthen the lining of capillaries.
VITAMIN P-LIKE
Vitamin P-like is a stabilized synthetic vitamin with a stimulating action on skin microcirculation and a protective action on capillaries. The anti-redness properties of vitamin P-like are reinforced when it is combined with sodium dextran sulfate, an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent.
