Beauty Tip: Expert Tips for Surviving Dry Skin Season. Relieve Redness With Simple Ingredients Skin flushed in redness can be bothersome and even embarrassing when it doesn’t fade. According to Kazin, crimson skin that appears only in the very dry and cold weather is typically a form of eczema or dermatitis. People who don’t otherwise have a history of either condition in normal circumstances can easily still fall prey. (Rosacea, on the other hand, is another flushing skin condition that is usually genetic and occurs year-round). “The redness signals that the skin barrier is compromised and that skin is more sensitive now to allergens and irritants that otherwise wouldn’t bother you,” explains Kazin. Important parts of the barrier are made up of ceramides and lipids, so these are the ingredients you should look for in cleansers. To moisturize, use humectants to draw in hydration and emollients to retain it. Try adding a hypoallergenic hydrator to your routine with both ingredients, like Simple Nourishing 24Hr Day/Night Cream. It may be helpful to keep products like this on hand when temperatures dip and your skin tends toward redness, and switch them in until conditions subside. Avoiding fragranced formulas and treatment ingredients like salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and retinol is essential until skin returns to normal, says Kazin.
