5 Products That Help Counteract Redness
Redness on our skin is something we will all more than likely deal with at one stage or another. Whilst some of us might be trying to counteract the redness of spots or acne, others might want something to tone down the redness of scarring or roscea, or if you’re like me – you might just have a natural pinky/red hue to your skin. Either way it is perfectly normal to have some redness on your skin. However, sometimes we might want to counteract that redness.
So, if you do want to counteract redness on your skin, here are 5 products that can help:
Clinique, Redness Solutions Daily Protective Base SPF 15
I was obsessed with this product as a teen, I went through tubes of the stuff. It really is what it says on the packaging – a redness solution. The product itself is green (already a good start), and smooths on easily. A little bit goes a long way (trust me, I lathered it on one day and had a sickly green hue to my skin). It’s a great product to use on it’s own, or as a base under your foundation.
