How To Calm Inflamed Skin

If your skin is red or inflamed, then we have some tips to help instantly calm it down. We should say that this is for mild temporary inflammation, for anything more or that does not dissipate then it is always best to consult a medical professional. Read on to find out our simple tips to calm inflamed skin.

How To Calm Inflamed Skin

If you have red or inflamed skin, then our tips could help to bring this down and get skin back to a safe calm place:

• One tip to instantly calm inflamed skin is to use cool damp cotton wool pads. The cotton wool is soft on the skin and the coolness can provide instant calm. If this seems to help then it can be repeated every so often. 
• Our favourite product in the range for irritated skin is our Nakin Revitalising Face Oil which contains a concentrate of plant oils that are incredibly calming and boosting to the face and neck. You can pat or massage it into skin and adjust the dose according to how your skin is feeling. If you skin is feeling really delicate, then it is best to pat the oil in, taking care to reach all areas, except being too close to the eye. As with all products, carry out a patch test before full use.
• One of the modern methods to calm inflamed skin could be to use an LED mask, which are great for skin by delivering infrared light. The light has a calming effect and really helps to soothe and brighten it, plus it can provide a slight lift. It is also lovely to use if it is early in the morning and you are feeling tired, to give a good start to the day as well as a skin glow. Always check with the manufacturer to ensure that your device is suitable for use on inflamed skin, as every device has different settings and is often designed for different conditions.
• If your skin is delicate, then it is essential to use a gentle cleansing product. Cleansers traditionally contain quite strong ingredients for the skin, and this is why we always recommend using a kind natural one like Nakin’s Advanced Cleansing Milk. It is much gentler on skin than other face cleansers but still effectively removes make-up, debris, SPF, and some dead skin cells. The gentle plant cleansers are calming and hydrating, so skin gets all the freshness, but it is kind to sensitive skin and hydrating to dry skin. Only use a cleanser on skin that is mildly irritated, and not broken or sore, plus carry out a patch test before full use.
  
• Stress can have a notable impact on the condition of your skin, often exacerbating issues such as redness, irritation, and breakouts. By focusing on destressing techniques, you can help calm irritated skin and support its natural healing process. Practices such as mindfulness meditation, yoga, and deep breathing exercises reduce cortisol levels in the body, which in turn can minimise inflammation and prevent further flare-ups. Additionally, ensuring proper hydration and following a soothing skincare routine with gentle, fragrance-free products can complement these efforts. A holistic approach to managing stress not only benefits your overall well-being but also enhances the health and appearance of your skin.
