Skin care for capillary skin in summer

In cosmetology, the visible vascular mesh on the face is called ‘couperose’ and in dermatology, telangiectasias. Couperose is a permanent dilatation of small blood vessels in the skin that is not accompanied by an inflammatory process. It appears regardless of age category and gender. People with thin, dry and sensitive skin in particular are at risk. How to take care of vascular skin in summer?

1. Cleanse with warm water using non-aggressive surfactants. The ideal cleansing for such skin is the cleansing milk from the RED STOP line. Tap water changes the acid-base balance of the epidermis into an alkaline environment. To restore the correct pH, use a toner from the RED STOP line immediately after washing.

1. Do not rub or stretch your skin too much, use paper towels to dry your face. Do not use products containing scrub-type particles. This can damage the fragility of the blood vessels and worsen couperose.

1. When choosing a product for vascular skin, choose cosmetics based on ingredients that reduce vascular permeability, soothe inflammation and increase the density of the vessel walls. These are the ingredients of the RED STOP line of preparations, such as: vitamin C, antioxidants, flavonoids and valuable plant extracts, e.g. from horse chestnut, arnica, hamamelis, ivy and green tea.

1. If your skin has rosacea or extensive telangioctesia, you can use an azelaic acid night cream daily or every other day – also from the RED STOP line. The creams in this line also contain lactobionic and glucolactone acids. These are surface AHA acids that do not penetrate the living layers of the skin, do not cause irritation and can be used all year round. With regular use, they can strengthen the skin barrier.

1. Always in the morning, it is essential to apply adequate SPF protection. UV rays not only expose you to sunburn and pigmentation disorders, but also cause vascular problems

By following these rules, your vascular skin will be stronger and be able to withstand the summer heat more easily!
