Getting rid of Skin Redness
Skin irritations are bad enough – but reddening of the face is truly a catastrophe. Because it is no longer possible to hide from small, visible veins or red pimples. The veins are usually caused by an anomaly in the venous system on the face. However, there are also skin diseases such as rosacea and couperose, a form of rosacea. These skin irritations often cause visible veins, redness and unsightly pimples all over the face. It would help if you had skin irritations, redness (flushing) and pustules examined by a dermatologist.
In addition to special ointments, diet can also provide relief and relief. In the case of rosacea, in particular, it is recommended that certain foods such as dairy products, refined sugar, wheat and alcohol be eliminated from the diet to minimize the sources of inflammation.
Itching under the armpits: Another catastrophe
Itchy armpits can have a variety of causes. We have summarised some of the main culprits for you.
The wrong deodorant: Similar to conventional creams and lotions, deodorants often contain many chemical substances that our body has difficulty processing. If you have just shaved your armpits, the already irritated and sensitive skin can react even more strongly to the ingredients in the deodorant. It is best to take it easy on freshly shaved skin or treat it with natural home remedies such as aloe vera and chamomile.
Clothes that are too tight: T-shirts or sweaters that are too tight or certain fibres can also be responsible for your armpits itching after shaving. Make sure you only wear clothes that allow your skin to breathe. Cotton is still best for the skin under your armpits, as it absorbs moisture better than synthetic fibres.
The wrong shaving method: A lot can go wrong when shaving, so it’s essential to look for the best way for yourself – sound effects and skin protection included, of course. When shaving, you should always ensure the blade is sharp and not dull. The older the razor blade is, the more bacteria can settle and irritate your skin further. A flat blade can also make hairline removal much more complex, leading to uncomfortable ingrown hairs. The solution: Always use fresh razor blades or try other shaving options such as epilation, waxing or permanent laser hair removal.
Shaving without skin irritation: Here’s how
Pimples, itching and redness – skin irritation after shaving is nothing unusual at first. It’s still annoying and uncomfortable – there has to be a trick. To avoid skin irritation after shaving, follow home remedies to protect your skin and find the best treatment for irritated skin. However, if skin irritation and itching have already occurred after shaving, these home remedies can still help:
Aloe vera gel: Do you already have an aloe vera plant at home? Perfect, you can cut the gel straight from the leaves and apply it to red and itchy skin. If you want to buy products with aloe vera gel, you should always ensure that they contain a high proportion of the plant. Because most of the time, it says aloe vera on it, but the actual ratio is often very small, so you will not get much benefit from it. Treatment with natural aloe vera is therefore recommended. You can buy the plants in the garden centre or as large Aloe Vera slices in organic supermarkets.
For the facial shave: If you struggle with ingrown hairs, itching, redness and annoying skin irritation after shaving your face, you should try a quark-honey-chamomile face mask or chamomile drops. It is best to mix the mask before you shave so that you can apply it directly. Don’t panic if you’ve incorporated too much; the mask will keep in the fridge for a few days if you seal it tightly. How to make your face mask: Mix some quark with honey and add a few drops of chamomile oil. The great thing about chamomile oil is that it has an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin and can quickly treat skin irritations.
The quark supplies irritated skin with moisture and simultaneously has a calming effect on itching and redness. After 10 to 15 minutes, you can wash off the mask with warm water. If you don’t have much time for a mask or don’t want to use quark, you can mix a few drops of chamomile with water and rub it over your face with your hands.
Tips when things have to go fast:
Ice cubes: You shaved, and your skin is already itching and burning? To constrict the vessels and soothe the skin, you can rub a few ice cubes into the skin. However, ensure that there are not too many ice cubes and you get pain from the cold.
Baby powder: Admittedly, it is not only a miracle powder for sensitive baby bottoms but also irritated skin. The powder eliminates skin redness and itching. But be careful if you already tend to have dry skin. The powder dries out too.
