Skin redness or blotchy skin is often a result of having sensitive skin—just about anything and everything can irritate your skin. Either you’re using products that are too harsh on your skin or you’re consuming the wrong foods that are causing reactions. Wondering what else causes blotchy skin? Here’s a low-down on how to get rid of blotchy skin...

Exfoliating is imperative to your skincare regime, but it is equally important to ensure that you don’t over-exfoliate. When you exfoliate too much, you’re rubbing your skin unnecessarily while it sheds more skin cells than required—something that instantly leaves your skin looking blotchy.

When you have sensitive skin that turns red every now and then, you need to rely on a face wash that is as mild as possible yet does the job of keeping impurities away. We suggest using the Fair & Lovely Fairness Clean Up Face Wash that cleanses, exfoliates gently and massages with its multivitamin formula!

Whether you have sensitive skin or not, sunscreen should be your holy grail. UV rays can instantly cause redness and leave you with sunburns. This is why you must rely on the Lakmé Sun Expert UV Lotion SPF 50 PA+++. This shields your skin against 97% UVB rays that can cause sunburns while the PA+++ saves your skin from UVA rays that can cause premature ageing.

If your skin has a tendency of turning red, you need something that soothes the skin, even on your body. We suggest using the Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe Body Lotion. This one has a non-sticky formula that contains pure aloe, stratys-3 multi-layer moisture that deeply moisturises the skin without making the skin feel greasy. We suggest you apply this twice a day to keep any redness away.
