Proper care for sensitive skin is extremely important, as neglected skin of this type is prone to rosacea, which is very difficult to treat. Find out how to prevent it and ensure your skin gets everything it needs.
Couperose skin—how should you care for it?
Sensitive, couperose skin is easily irritated, so its care should be based on gentle plant-based formulas with soothing, regenerative, and anti-inflammatory properties. Products for couperose skin should strengthen blood vessels, which simultaneously reduces their visibility and minimizes redness.
Fragile capillaries combined with thin skin react poorly to the sun. For this reason, this skin type should be protected with SPF all year round. To avoid having to remember yet another product, the easiest solution is to use a moisturizer that already contains SPF, as is the case with IDEAL.
Skincare for Couperose Skin and Rose Hydrosol
Skin prone to broken capillaries requires special care, which is why we at Phenomé have created a line specifically for it. We based it on rose extract because of its invaluable properties:
- minimizes
- discoloration,
deeply moisturizes,
- accelerates healing,
- soothes irritation.
Importantly, despite its abundance of beneficial ingredients, rose hydrosol does not cause irritation—on the contrary, it strengthens sensitive skin.
We have further enriched the rose hydrosol with other natural ingredients known for their regenerating and soothing properties: aloe vera and green tea hydrosols. These provide the skin with essential vitamins and minerals and offer excellent hydration. Equally important is the horse chestnut extract, which tones the skin and helps prevent inflammation. We have also carefully selected oils that nourish and strengthen the lipid barrier—we’ve opted for a unique blend of almond, jojoba, and macadamia nut oils.
Couperose Skin: How to Care for It? Step by Step
What should a comprehensive natural skincare routine for sensitive skin look like?
- The first step in your daily skincare routine for couperose skin is gentle cleansing with the NON-DRYING foam for sensitive skin. Not only does it thoroughly remove makeup and all impurities, but it also strengthens blood vessels and deeply moisturizes the skin. Importantly, it does not compromise the skin’s hydrolipid barrier. Be sure to rinse it off with lukewarm water, as water that is too hot can negatively affect dilated capillaries.
- Before applying the cream, we recommend using the SOOTHING protective base for sensitive skin. This lightweight base, formulated with rose water and aloe vera, strengthens blood vessel walls and prevents redness, preparing you for a challenging day. It also works great under makeup.
- It’s hard to find a better cream for problem skin than IDEAL Strengthening Cream for Couperose and Sensitive Skin. This nourishing cream with a natural mineral SPF filter strengthens the skin’s natural defenses and protects it from the harmful effects of external factors. A dozen or so high-quality active ingredients take care of every aspect of your skin. It provides instant relief while addressing the root causes of problems, restoring the skin’s natural balance.
We recommend supplementing your daily skincare routine for sensitive skin with a weekly relaxing ritual that consists of just two steps:
- Enzymatic exfoliation for all skin types with ENZYMATIC – you may be hesitant to exfoliate because sensitive skin reacts poorly to physical scrubbing. However, without this step in your skincare routine, your skin absorbs the active ingredients in your cream less effectively and cannot breathe properly. That is why ENZYMATIC contains no irritating particles, only lactic acid, which removes the dead layer of the epidermis without the need for scrubbing. It unclogs pores, and the effect of visibly soft, refreshed skin is noticeable immediately.
The BLOSSOM soothing face mask with rose petals is a spa treatment for sensitive skin. It tones the skin, improves its firmness, and prevents signs of aging, while its beautiful, stress-relieving scent will leave you eagerly anticipating your next relaxing session.
