What causes red blotches on the face?

Let’s briefly clarify what we are talking about: first of all, one skin condition among many. We call it 'sensitive skin prone to couperose'. This means that your skin easily becomes unbalanced, because its protective function is weakened or it is particularly sensitive to internal and external stimuli. It tells you this by turning red. Red blotches on the nose and cheeks can have other causes but, if you have couperose, dilated capillaries become visible through the skin, often accompanied by a feeling of tension and heat. Couperose can be the precursor to rosacea. However, while the symptoms continue to subside, your skin needs one thing above all else: targeted support from you.

More interesting than the actual causes of couperose, especially a predisposition to vasodilation, are its triggers. There are several typical triggers

UV radiation
temperature changes, e.g. returning home after a winter walk
spicy food, coffee, alcohol
nicotine
stress
irritating skin care products

Soothe redness overnight

Apply an ampoule and drift off – that’s all you need to do to reduce redness in your sleep. Now your skin is no longer preoccupied with putting itself between you and the world to protect you. Now it has time to regenerate. It enjoys tranquillity and tailor-made cosmetic stimulants, but be careful not to over-pamper your skin – let it breathe at night.

Calm & Balance Ampoules (formerly Sensitive Care Conditioner) are ideal for sensitive skin prone to couperose. You get 28 ampoules to cover a 28-night skin renewal cycle. Give your skin that time.
