Sensitivity is an asset\u2014unless we’re talking about skin. It manifests itself in various ways, including the appearance of broken capillaries. Caring for such a sensitive complexion requires special gentleness and care on our part. <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

How do you care for sensitive, couperose skin?<\/h3>\n\n

Sensitivity is a virtue\u2014unless we’re talking about the skin. It manifests itself in various ways, including in the form of broken capillaries. And while skin with a natural blush has something incredibly charming about it and is synonymous with innocence, persistent redness is more of a cause for concern\u2014an embarrassing and unwanted companion that you must, however, learn to live with. It\u2019s a clear sign that the skin needs special support in the form of attentive, targeted care. Can you tell one from the other? Without a doubt\u2014erythema doesn\u2019t just affect the cheeks as we\u2019d like, but often the entire face, and sometimes even the d\u00e9colletage and neck, while minor vascular changes can also appear on the arms or calves. <\/p>\n\n

Connected vessels<\/h3>\n\n

This pattern of broken capillaries looks different on every face. Sometimes, individual tiny veins become visible under the skin after removing makeup, evenly scattered across the entire face, or more prominent telangiectasias\u2014so-called spider veins\u2014which form as a result of estrogen and mechanical trauma, such as excessive rubbing. Once they appear, they won\u2019t go away on their own\u2014they require gentle care and a good dose of patience. They become visible not only when we naturally blush, i.e., under the influence of emotions, although in the case of couperose skin, these are a major trigger for flushing. <\/p>\n\n

Dishes Under the Magnifying Glass<\/h3>\n\n

It\u2019s all down to our genes\u2014if we inherit this predisposition from our parents, sooner or later the problem will surface and worsen with age. Once we know it\u2019s there, it\u2019s worth taking special care of our vascular skin. Thin skin and fragile capillaries, which tend to dilate and break, don\u2019t get along well with the sun, so exposure to UV rays should be kept to a minimum (and tanning beds should be avoided entirely). For better protection, the skin should be protected with a sunscreen product year-round. It\u2019s worth avoiding sudden temperature changes (read: forget about the sauna), avoiding alcohol, which causes blood vessels to dilate, and ensuring regular moderate physical activity\u2014obesity and a lack of exercise will exacerbate the problem. And generally, keep a close eye on yourself, because almost everything is harmful to capillaries: hormonal imbalances, high blood pressure, intestinal imbalance, temperature changes (not just the sun, but also cold, wind, and heating or air conditioning), and even spicy foods and stimulants. <\/p>\n\n

Taking care of your capillaries: it\u2019s all in our hands<\/h3>\n\n

This type of skin requires very gentle care. Our goal is not only to avoid irritating the skin, but above all to strengthen its protective barrier, as well as the capillaries themselves, and restore elasticity to their walls. Every step of the skincare routine is important\u2014from makeup removal, through gentle cleansing, to pampering and simultaneously protecting the skin with a cream. When washing, pay attention to the water temperature so it isn\u2019t too hot. A mild cleansing foam with the gentlest possible natural ingredients works best for cleansing. The cloud-light NON-DRYING Facial Cleansing Foam for Sensitive Skin<\/strong> uses extracts of horse chestnut and green algae, which strengthen blood vessels, combined with deeply moisturizing rose oil. The base of the product is rose water, which, combined with ultra-gentle cleansing agents and natural extracts, removes makeup and impurities without compromising the skin\u2019s hydrolipid barrier. As a result, it gently yet effectively cleanses sensitive, irritation-prone skin while providing additional soothing relief. <\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s a good idea to address broken capillaries and soothe hypersensitivity before applying the cream. A light lotion-based formula, the SOOTHING Serum for Sensitive Skin<\/strong>\u2014formulated with rose and aloe vera water and comfrey extract\u2014will strengthen and seal the walls of blood vessels, pleasantly soften the skin, and prevent redness. It is so rich in soothing substances and antioxidants that it works well on its own. However, if your skin still needs a cream, choose one that, in addition to supporting capillaries, will also strengthen the skin\u2019s defenses and protect it from the harmful effects of UV rays. IDEAL Strengthening Cream for Couperose and Sensitive Skin<\/strong>, designed to care for demanding skin, revitalizes it with acerola extract and protects it from free radicals with grape leaf extract. <\/p>\n\n

As for exfoliation, as a general rule, those with couperose skin should avoid abrasive scrubs, so exfoliants containing microbeads are not recommended. However, this one passes the test \u2013 A 5% lactic acid solution combined with a plant-based exfoliating complex and soothing extracts removes dead skin cells in just 5 minutes, unclogs pores, and stimulates cell regeneration. The results are visible immediately; 1\u20132 sessions per week are sufficient. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

And one more thing. We can also help our capillaries with a mask just as often. The BLOSSOM Soothing Gel Face Mask with Rose Petals<\/strong>, designed for sensitive skin and formulated with mineral-rich plant waters enriched with hyaluronic acid and Damask rose oil, will soothe, relax, and tone, gently caring for capillaries in need of relief. <\/p>\n\n

Be careful<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

This kind of home care is particularly important because neglected skin, left to its own devices, may not recover. If the condition worsens, there is a risk of developing rosacea\u2014a chronic condition that is difficult to treat. Home care can be supplemented with treatments to close dilated capillaries at a dermatologist\u2019s office, if recommended. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
