Redness, Bumps, and Sensitive Skin? Here’s How to Soothe Your Face

Whether it’s from friction, heat, sensitive skin, or daily stress, redness and irritation can make your complexion feel uncomfortable and look uneven.

Bedrock Balm is a soothing zinc oxide cream that helps calm irritation, soften dry patches, and support a smoother skin barrier—without feeling greasy.

One of our customers, Sarah, wrote:

"I'm a speech-pathologist working in a rehabilitation hospital, and for the past 6 weeks or so, have been required to wear surgical masks at all times. As we begin to treat post-COVID patients, I am also having to wear much tighter fitting N95 masks for 1-2 hours a day. I've noticed the last 2-3 weeks my face has been breaking out with no relief. I have sensitive skin to begin with, and after doing some research, the masks can cause excess moisture to build up among other things that can lead to irritation/breakouts. Which Bedrock product should I buy?"

We recommended Sarah try Bedrock Balm in three ways:

  1. Daily defense: Apply a thin layer on irritated areas during the day to protect against redness and friction.

  2. Overnight rebalance: Use it before bed so skin can recover while you sleep.

  3. Targeted redness: Dab a small amount directly onto problem spots to reduce bumps and discomfort.

Bedrock Balm combines 20% zinc oxide with clean, plant-based oils like jojoba, calendula, and chamomile to support a healthy skin barrier.

After Sarah bought Bedrock Balm, she followed up and said:

"It took about two weeks but my skin has significantly calmed down and is heading in the direction of normal. Thanks again for your amazing product!!"
