Red spots, pimples, inflammation… What’s the best way to deal with imperfections and redness?

Here’s a look at some of the questions, answers and recommendations to keep in mind in case of a red alert!

I’m looking for a daily anti-redness mask. What do you recommend?

A mask is an excellent addition to your routine: it complements your daily skin care by targeting specific needs. But it’s best not to use it more than once or twice a week, so you don’t overload your skin. For redness, choose a product that’s both soothing and moisturizing to calm inflammation and make your skin more resistant to irritants.

What product is best for hiding redness?

You can’t go wrong with a green-pigmented formula. Because green is opposite red on the colour chart, the two colours combined neutralize each other. You can also use a moisturizing foundation with active ingredients that will nourish and soothe the skin: not only will redness be hidden, it will diminish on the long term. A perfect plan!

My skin is greasy, sensitive and prone to imperfections. Quite a combo! What do you recommend for my daily routine?

The most important thing is to use gentle, non-irritating products. Use mattifying formulas that control sebum production and tone down shine throughout the day. Fortifying, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory ingredients are also helpful to combat the bacteria responsible for pimples and to strengthen blood vessel walls to reduce redness.

I tend to get red spots near my eyes. What do you recommend for that?

An ultra-gentle eye-contour treatment, free from irritating agents (so long, alcohol, dye and perfumes!) and made with ingredients that reduce irritations and discomfort, like thermal or floral water, etc.
