HOW TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AGEING SIGNS AND DEHYDRATION

If you’ve noticed fine lines and wrinkles beginning to appear for the first time, you may assume that they’re caused by age. But this is actually just one part of the story and ageing signs can often be confused with dehydration.

So how can you tell the difference between premature ageing and dehydration lines?

Dehydration in the skin can affect all skin types and is caused by multiple factors in our environment - from hard water, air conditioning, pollution and even medication. These factors compromise the skin’s natural protective barrier which allows hyaluronic acid and water to leak from the skin. The result? Dry skin that’s lacking in plumpness and often feels tight – especially after cleansing.

Premature ageing doesn’t cause any discomfort in the way dehydration does, and is predominantly caused by environmental factors. Ageing signs are also more visible and anchored than dehydration lines. Dehydration lines, on the other hand, are seen in a variety of places all at once and make the skin appear tight with lost elasticity.

The good news is that as dehydration is caused by barrier dysfunction, it can be corrected quickly with the right skincare. Premature ageing signs can also be improved and plumped with skincare rich in humectants such as hyaluronic acid. This hydrating ingredient penetrates the cells of the skin, helping to increase the production of collagen and elastin while smoothing the appearance of the skin.

WHAT CAUSES FACIAL REDNESS?

Redness on facial areas like the cheeks, nose, and forehead can be caused by an array of conditions and triggers. Though some of us naturally have red undertones as part of our skin tone, excessive facial redness or face flushing is usually the result of a particular condition.

It can be frustrating to experience prolonged periods of patchy redness, especially when coupled with discomfort or itchy-prone skin. However, certain hero ingredients like Vitamin B5 can aid in the visible reduction of facial redness. To understand the redness on your face, it’s important that you know your unique skin type. Once understood, you’ll be empowered to begin to address your concern with targeted appropriate skincare.

Read on to understand the separate stressors, as well as tips for managing symptoms of redness-prone skin.

1. WHAT IS FACIAL REDNESS?

Facial redness can be defined as persistent colouring and sometimes itchy-prone skin across the face. This colouring can appear in blotchy or uneven patches and can tend to localise on a specific facial area. When blood flow is increased, blood vessels enlarge, leading to a flushed complexion. This usually brings a feeling of heat with it.

2. WHAT CAUSES REDNESS ON THE FACE?

Redness across your face can occur when blood vessels dilate in the skin, resulting in visible, prolonged redness. The causes of this vary, as do what triggers the lengthy (and sometimes uncomfortable) periods of facial redness. Outlined below are different forms of redness-prone skin.

ALLERGY-PRONE SKIN

Allergy-prone skin can be at the mercy of environmental and topical stressors. When an allergen like certain fabrics or chemicals touch skin, the immune system sends a defensive response which can result in red, often itchy bumps or blisters that are raised on skin. 

CONTACT DERMATITIS 

A type of eczema that shares similarities with skin allergies, contact dermatitis develops when something comes into contact with skin and irritates it. Certain ingredients in soap and plants like poison ivy tend to exacerbate this skin condition. What results is a sometimes uncomfortable rash that can last for hours or even weeks. 

ROSACEA

Rosacea is a relatively common and often lifelong condition. Rosacea is typically centred on the face. Whilst the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, some within the medical field theorise that it is triggered by the immune system reacting negatively to Bacillus oleronius, a type of bacteria. Visible blood vessels, flushing, dryness, bumps and rough skin are all signs of rosacea. The condition can also be triggered by stress, medication, alcohol and changes in weather. 

PSORIASIS

Unlike rosacea – the dry, red patches that characterise psoriasis can appear anywhere on the body. This sometimes burning form of redness on skin happens because of the sped-up replacement of dead skin cells with fresh skin cells. As the cells form on skin, raised, often scaly patches come to the surface. 

ECZEMA

Eczema-prone skin actually refers to a group of skin conditions. Genes and environmental triggers like dry weather are thought to play a role in eczema, and each person can present the condition in different ways. When eczema-prone skin flares up, scaly rashes can appear to cover skin and cause discomfort. Though there is no cure, individually prescribed skin treatments can decrease the severity of reactions. 

SPIDER VEINS

Spider veins are the direct result of sun-exposure or genetics. As the effects of harmful rays build up on skin, spider-like veins can appear across your nose, cheeks and forehead. This condition can sometimes be effectively removed through laser treatment. 

3. GENERAL CARE TIPS FOR A FLUSHED COMPLEXION

If you believe your redness is caused by a skin condition such as the above, it is recommended to consult your dermatologist on the best way to optimise care. However, there are some general tips for skin prone to mild redness which can be incorporated within a regime.

An anti-inflammatory diet (leafy vegetables, omega-rich fish, and low-glycemic fruits) may also be helpful. Consider introducing Vitamin D supplements to help regulate biological function.

For glowing skin and an even-toned face, cooling your skin and applying an intensive sheet mask formulated for sensitive skin can help to manage visible redness. Leave a clean face cloth in the fridge or freezer for 15 minutes before gently applying to the skin. Then, apply the hydrating Facial Sheet Mask.

When finding a skincare routine to manage redness in your face, look for ingredients that hydrate and strengthen skin.

After cleansing, apply serums, moisturizers to calm and hydrate your skin from La Roche-Posay Cicaplast / Rosaliac / Toleriane range.
