Visible, unwanted redness is a very common complexion concern. Redness can be caused by a variety of factors including rosacea, acne, stress, excessive sun exposure, or sensitivity. Any skin tone can experience redness and it can occur at any time. How many times have you done your makeup only to find shortly after that unwanted redness is still peaking through? Do you feel that your face is always flushed? If you’re one of the many suffering from redness, here are three products to incorporate into your routine to help calm, correct, and perfect your complexion.
Dermadoctor Calm Cool Corrected (Anti-Redness) Tranquility Cream

The Tranquility Cream lives up to its name by providing hydration, antioxidants, and helping to minimize the appearance of surface redness. Formulated with Vitamin E and White Tea Extract, along with Hyaluronic Acid and Chamomile, your skin is gently nourished and soothed. It will calm inflammation and you will notice less redness.

Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Primer
Applying a green primer or concealer prior to applying foundation will neutralize surface redness, and your foundation will be able to more easily even out your complexion. Smashbox is one of the industry leaders in primers. Photo Finish will neutralize redness, feed your skin with antioxidants, and ensure that your foundation lasts all day. You can apply it all over the face or only on the affected areas. A great tip for priming and color correcting is to apply the green primer on only the areas of concern and then apply the original Photo Finish primer everywhere else. Yes! You can mix primers!
