Skin products for redness/flare ups etc

[fartmeistergeneral]

I see clinique have moisturisers etc. Am very prone, but haven't used a redness solution since I was much younger and used Body Shop green colour corrective cream and it was soooooo awful, just made my skin green!!! Red preferable!

Anyone use anything else that actually works and doesn't cost the earth??

I bought the clinique redness solutions. The moisturizer is nice but god knows if it made any difference. The redness solutions is way to green and just made me look sick.

So my solution is mineral foundation with blusher, in a weird way adding more red slightly higher up the apple of the cheek seems to make the flushing of m menopausal face seem less I think, well no one has said I look like a clown yet.

Am a bit disappointed to hear that technology hasn't advanced much in 20 years and that colour corrective stuff still makes faces green!

I have bought both redness calming gel and colour corrective moisturiser from No. 7 and have found neither of them much help. Yes, the colour corrective moisturiser makes your face green (useful though if you want to get home from work early ....).

I agree that blusher higher up the cheek helps take the flush away from my natural blush further down, but I also suffer from flushing on my neck (mainly when drinking alcohol) and havent a clue how to cover that.

Hmm, my main redness is quite far up the cheek, just where the cheek meets the bit which would be the 'bag' under my eye - that bit is quite white which doesn't help.

Don't get the neck thing unless totally stressed - public speaking or the like. Nose and chin also quite red, sounds lovely doesn't it???!

I find a quick spritz with an Evian spray (kept in fridge for maximum coolness) good for the flushing here.

Also use the Clinique stuff and find it doesn't do much.

Really don't want to give up alcohol which is what internet always says!

For me it's the type of alcohol - red wine and beer a no no, chilled white in a cool room I can usually get away with. Also have to let coffee and tea cool down. Agree the clinique stuff isn't miraculous, though I do find that the corrector (yep greenish!) can help under foundation. At the moment, given the weather, I'm going for a slight fake tan (the clarins one) - find a goldeny tan sort of covers the redness.
