Tight skin, redness, couperose, rosacea, what are the natural solutions to regain an even complexion and comfortable skin? Discover anti-redness essential oils, care tips for a soothing routine and easy recipes to calm reactive skin.

Why does the skin turn red?

Does your skin have a tendency to redden, react to temperature variations, do you sometimes feel hot? It may be couperose or rosacea, also called acne rosacea, even though it has nothing to do with teenage acne.

This redness is a sign of fragility in the small blood capillaries that irrigate the epidermis. Certain factors can aggravate redness, such as wind, cold, very hot baths or showers, the consumption of certain products (alcohol, coffee, spices) or cosmetics containing alcohol.

Essential oils are very interesting for calming redness, supporting the circulatory system in the face and promoting an even skin tone.

The essential oil of evergreen cypress provides its decongestant action on the venous system, it promotes microcirculation and thus prevents the dilation of small blood capillaries to reduce redness, couperose and rosacea.

Focus on calophylla vegetable oil
