Are you dealing with facial redness that’s cramping your style? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with some tips to help you ditch the redness. We understand how frustrating it can be to wake up with a flushed face, or to struggle with persistent redness.
We’re here to share eight amazing tips to help you say goodbye to that unwanted redness and hellp to a radiant, calm complexion.
What Is Skin Redness?
Skin redness, also known as erythema, is a common condition, characterized by flushing or reddening of the skin. This occurs when blood vessels near the skin surface dilate, allowing more blood to flow to the area.
Redness can manifest in various ways, from a subtle flush to a more pronounced, persistent discoloration. It may be localized to specific areas, such as the cheeks or nose, or spread across larger portions of the face or body.
While occasional redness is normal, ongoing or severe redness may indicate an underlying condition. Understanding the cause of your skin redness is crucial for effective treatment and management.
What Are Some Tips for Skin Redness?
Let’s talk top tips! If you are dealing with occasional day to day redness, or an ongoing redness situation, we have some ideas about how to manage.
1. Identify the Cause
Before we get into our redness-fighting tips, it’s essential to understand what’s causing your facial flush.
Redness can stem from various factors, including:
- Rosacea
- Sunburn
- Allergic reaction or skin irritation
- Sensitivity to products
- Atopic dermatitis
- Environmental factors (like wind, or extreme temperatures)
- Stress
In most cases, skin redness is a fairly common issue, and can be remedied with minor lifestyle changes or a little help from a dermatologist.
Knowing the root cause will help you tackle the issue more effectively. If you’re unsure, it is always a good idea to consult with a medical professional like your primary care doctor or dermatologist for a proper diagnosis.
2. Gentle Cleansing Is Key
When it comes to reducing facial redness, less is often more. Harsh cleansers can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to irritation and — you guessed it — more redness. Instead, opt for a gentle, soothing cleanser that won’t upset your skin’s natural balance.
Our Stem Cellular Cleansing Oil is perfect for sensitive, redness-prone skin. This nourishing cleanser gently removes impurities while hydrating and calming your skin with grape seed and jojoba oils.
All of our products at Juice Beauty are crafted using our exclusive Bio70+ technology, ensuring that each formula starts with an antioxidant-rich base of at least 70% organic ingredients. With this technology, we create an environment that allows our potent active ingredients to bring you real, effective results.
3. Cool it Down
Heat can exacerbate redness, so why not give your skin a refreshing cool-down? Here are some easy ways to chill out your complexion:
- Use a cold compress: Wrap ice cubes in a soft cloth and gently press against your skin for a few minutes.
- Try refrigerated skincare: Keep your toner or face mist in the fridge for an extra cooling effect.
- Indulge in a cooling mask: Look for masks with soothing ingredients like aloe vera or cucumber.
4. Embrace Antioxidants
Antioxidants are your skin’s best friend when it comes to fighting redness. These powerful compounds help protect your skin from environmental stressors and calm irritation.
The Green Apple Brightening Emulsion Lightweight Moisturizer is packed with antioxidant-rich ingredients like apple, grape, and aloe juices to soothe and nourish your skin while promoting a more even-toned complexion. Plus, squalane from olives, jojoba oil, and avocado oil provide gentle moisture for sensitive skin.
5. Sun Protection Is Non-Negotiable
Please tell us your skin is not red from a brutal sunburn. We can’t stress this enough: sun protection is crucial for reducing and preventing facial redness. UV rays can trigger inflammation and worsen existing redness, even if you don’t see a physical sunburn from exposure. Make sure you’re applying and reapplying a broad-spectrum sunscreen every single day.
Our SPF 30 Matte Oil-Free Moisturizer is a lightweight, non-greasy formula that provides essential sun protection while hydrating and soothing your skin with aloe, pomegranate, and grape juices.
6. Nourish From Within
What you put into your body can have a significant impact on your skin’s appearance. To help combat redness from the inside out, try incorporating these skin-loving foods into your diet:
- Omega-3 fatty acids (found in fatty fish, chia seeds, and walnuts)
- Antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables (like berries, leafy greens, and sweet potatoes)
- Probiotics (found in yogurt, kefir, and kombucha)
- Green tea (rich in polyphenols that help soothe skin)
Remember, a healthy gut often leads to healthier skin, so ditch the junk and go for the good stuff.
7. Be Mindful About Your Skincare Routine
When dealing with facial redness, it’s essential to curate a skincare routine that focuses on gentle, soothing products. Here’s a simple routine to get you started:
- Cleanse: Use a mild, non-irritating cleanser like our Stem Cellular Cleansing Oil or our Organic Face Wash & Cleanser.
- Tone: Opt for an alcohol-free toner to balance your skin’s pH without causing irritation.
- Treat: Apply a serum formulated to calm and soothe redness-prone skin. Our bestselling Stem Cellular Supergrape Youth Renew Serum With Hyaluronic Acid is a fan favorite. 100% of users reported a more youthful skin appearance, and it’s gentle enough to use everyday, even for sensitive skin.
- Moisturize: Lock in hydration with a nourishing, non-comedogenic moisturizer.
- Protect: Always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day. Our Stem Cellular CC Cream Zinc SPF 30 offers sun protection and skincare benefits while also providing light-to-medium coverage that will help reduce the appearance of redness. It’s perfect for those days when you want to conceal redness while also treating your skin.
8. Stress Less, Glow More
Did you know that stress can contribute to facial redness? When we are stressed, our body releases hormones that can trigger irritation and exacerbate skin issues. To keep stress-induced redness at bay, try incorporating some relaxation techniques into your daily routine.
You may want to try:
- Deep breathing exercises
- Daily meditation and mindfulness
- Engaging in regular physical activity. Shoot for three to five days a week of moderate exercise.
- Getting plenty of shut-eye. Aim for seven to nine hours of sleep per night.
- Taking time for self-care activities that you enjoy.
Remember, a relaxed mind often leads to happier, calmer skin.

When To Seek Professional Help
While these tips can significantly help in reducing racial redness, sometimes professional intervention may be necessary.
Consider consulting a dermatologist if:
- Your redness is severe or persistent
- You experience other symptoms like burning or itching

A dermatologist can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend targeted treatments to address your specific concerns.
