Inflammation and Your Skin
Inflammation is your body’s way of protecting itself. On your skin, it can show up as redness, itching, swelling, dryness, or even flare-ups of acne, eczema, or rosacea. While occasional inflammation is normal, constant irritation can damage the skin barrier, speed up aging, and leave your complexion feeling sensitive and reactive.
What Triggers Skin Inflammation?
- Sun exposure and pollution
- Harsh skincare or fragrances
- Stress and lack of sleep
- Diet high in sugar or processed foods
- Underlying skin conditions
How to Calm Inflammation
Here are a few simple steps to soothe and protect your skin:
- Keep it gentle: Use fragrance-free cleansers and calming ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, or oat extract.
- Soothe with actives: Niacinamide, green tea,help reduce redness.
- Hydrate: Moisturizers with Hyaluronic acid strengthen the skin barrier, along with Honey.
- Protect daily: Apply SPF to prevent UV-triggered inflammation.
- Eat anti-inflammatory foods: Think berries, leafy greens, salmon, flaxseeds, and turmeric.
- Manage stress: Breathing exercises, light workouts, or simply unplugging can help balance skin.

Inflammation doesn’t have to take over your skin. By avoiding common triggers and building a calming routine, you can restore balance, reduce flare-ups, and keep your complexion looking healthy and glowing.
