Cold, Winter weather can play havoc with those prone to facial redness. Dry cold air is harsh on skin and often triggers flare-ups and flushing.
One of the most important things to remember is to keep skin well moisturised. Cold weather and dry central heating can make skin tight and itchy. Use a fragrance free moisturiser such as the Manuka Doctor Clarifying Moisturiser to calm, sensitive skin.
“This moisturiser has achieved what multiple others have failed to do and that is have a dramatic impact on the condition of my skin. I have suffered a red, itchy, blotchy rash for the last 20 years and nothing would remove it. This clarifying moisturiser has had a superb effect and dramatic, sustained impact on my skin. The rash has faded away with absolutely no recurrence of the distracting itch. I would highly recommend in fact would go well beyond that and say it’s a perfect treatment for your skin.” Graeme S
Other tips to avoiding facial redness include covering up your face when outdoors to protect your complexion from the cold. Wearing layers so you can remove one by one as you feel warmer, as rosacea or reddened skin is often triggered by feeling hot.
Avoid boiling hot drinks and wear a sunscreen even in the Winter, as UV rays are a major trigger for rosacea and can also damage the skin causing more facial redness.

The amazing natural properties of these light-weight anti-redness skincare products means that they are full of skin feeding prebiotics which have proven time and time again to be of great benefit to those suffering from facial redness.
Natural prebiotic ingredients Manuka honey and Chicory root, help to re-balance the skin to promote a healthier looking complexion. The MGO found in Manuka honey gives it greater antimicrobial properties than other honeys, which means it’s better able to fight skin conditions like acne and rosacea. Being anti-inflammatory, it can also help soothe red, irritated skin.
In the moisturiser, Blackcurrant seed oil helps to protect, strengthen and promote healthier looking skin. An extract from the Larch tree and Hyaluronic Acid help to keep skin hydrated and Gardenia Tahitensis flower extract and Coconut oil both help reduce inflammation. Coconut oil’s antimicrobial properties also help protect the skin from harmful bacteria.
The Serum features Aloe Vera to increase moisture and rejuvenate skin while acting as a powerful anti-inflammatory, soothing and reducing redness and irritation. Hyaluronic Acid helps to maintain moisturised and firm skin and Allantoin, a well-documented anti-inflammatory ingredient, helps reduce redness by improving the skin’s barrier.
