Mimizing Redness for Fragile Skin!
Fragile (Couperose) skin types with a visible web of capilliaries are particularly sensitive and reactive to environmental hazards and to heat, alcohol and smoking.
The primary goal of an effective care program for this condition should be based around strengthening the walls of the capillaries, with soothing, cooling products. There are a limited number of care options for this skin type. Vaso-dilatants should be totally avoided, as should the use of any occlusive or too active preparations.
Essentially, hypotonic gels are the optimal choice and are the basis of the Anna Lotan
Alódem
product line. Additional benefit can also be gained from a mild AHA skin renewal treatment, such as that found in
New Age Control
, that thickens the epidermis gradually making the capillaries less visible.
