Best Skincare for Redness & Irritated Skin | Bedrock Balm
Do you struggle with facial redness, irritation, or breakouts in the spots where your skin is most sensitive?
Whether it’s from daily mask-wearing, weather changes, workouts, or just naturally reactive skin, you’re not alone—and we can help.
At Bedrock, we hear from healthcare workers, teachers, athletes, parents, and everyday folks who all deal with the same thing: skin irritation that shows up as redness, bumps, or dryness.
Here’s one note we received from Sarah, a speech-pathologist:
“I’ve noticed the last few weeks my face has been breaking out exactly where my mask sits all day. I have sensitive skin, and the irritation just won’t go away. Any thoughts on if Bedrock Balm or Porefector would be better?”
Our recommendation
While Porefector is fantastic for spot-treating blemishes and clarifying clogged pores, in Sarah’s case (and for anyone dealing with sensitive, red, or irritated skin) we recommend Bedrock Balm.
Why? Because Bedrock Balm is made with 20% zinc oxide plus soothing botanicals that:
-
Calm redness and irritation
-
Provide a protective skin barrier
-
Hydrate without greasiness
-
Support skin rejuvenation
Along with zinc oxide, our balm includes Vitamin E, Jojoba, Meadowfoam, Chamomile, Calendula, and Rosehip oils—all chosen to calm, moisturize, and balance sensitive skin.
Apply a thin layer to the irritated area in the morning (blend it in completely), then layer your favorite moisturizer or SPF on top. Repeat at night after cleansing for best results.
And the bonus? It’s multipurpose. Use it not just on your face, but also on hands, elbows, heels, or anywhere skin feels red, dry, or chafed.
