Getting Rid of Redness

Getting rid of redness can seem impossible but there are some tips and tricks that you can use to achieve this.
1. Hold a wet teabag on the red area for a few minutes.
2. Hold the red area over steamy water (if it’s on your face you can heat up some water on the stove and hold your head over the steam and place a towel over the back of your head to prevent too much steam from escaping). This might seem like it will redden the area more but in fact it gets the blood in the area around the redness circulating so that your skin looks more even in color. You can also use a very warm cloth over your face (when the cloth starts to cool, re-warm it and continue the treatment – this will often take several applications of the warm cloth). After completing this treatment you can apply some cool (ice or cold cloth) to ONLY the red area – again helping even out the appearance of the color of your skin. You’ve increased the bloodflow around the area and now you’ll use the coolness to reduce the actual inflammation of the red area.
3. It’s been said that a mixture of crushed aspirin and water applied to the area works well.
4. Use a skin lightening cream to the red area (just a little and only temporarily).
The best way to avoid having to get rid of redness is to use acne prevention methods.
