What Can Help Redness on Face?
Dealing with redness on your face? We can help. Facial redness can show up as flushed cheeks, blotchy patches, irritation, dry or flaky areas, or skin that seems to turn bright pink. And if your skin is sensitive or your barrier is feeling a little worse for wear, it can seem like everything makes it angry.
The good news? You don't necessarily need a complicated 12-step routine to help redness look calmer.
Sometimes, your skin wants the skincare equivalent of a quiet room, a cozy blanket, and absolutely no nonsense.
That's where Bedrock Balm with zinc oxide comes in.
Bedrock Balm is a simple, multipurpose facial balm made with 20% zinc oxide plus a proprietary blend of nourishing plant oils and botanicals. It's designed to moisturize, protect, and support skin that feels dry, irritated, or just plain unhappy.
What can help redness on the face?
The first step is figuring out what's behind the redness. Facial redness can have many causes, including dryness, irritation, environmental exposure, sensitivity, a compromised skin barrier, or conditions such as rosacea or perioral dermatitis.
While skincare can't solve every cause of facial redness, a gentle routine focused on moisture, protection, and minimizing irritation can help skin look and feel calmer.
Is zinc oxide good for facial redness?
Zinc oxide is a mineral ingredient commonly used in skincare for its protective and soothing properties. It sits on the surface of the skin and helps provide a physical layer of protection from environmental exposure and irritation.
Bedrock takes that idea a step further with 20% zinc oxide in Bedrock Balm, paired with a proprietary blend of plant-based oils and botanicals selected to moisturize and support the skin barrier.
How can Bedrock Balm help redness-prone skin?
Bedrock Balm uses 20% zinc oxide paired with nourishing plant-based oils and botanicals to provide moisture and a protective layer over the skin.
It's especially popular with people dealing with skin that feels:
- Red or irritated
- Dry or flaky
- Sensitive
- Tight or uncomfortable
- Easily aggravated by skincare products
- In need of extra barrier support
The formula includes ingredients such as camellia seed oil, meadowfoam seed oil, calendula, rosehip seed oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin E, along with other carefully selected botanicals.
The 20% zinc oxide difference
Zinc oxide is the star of Bedrock Balm for a reason.
At 20%, zinc oxide gives the balm its signature protective quality while the plant oils provide rich, lasting moisture.
Think of it as a little zinc security blanket for your face.
Apply a small amount as the final step in your skincare routine, especially at night, to help seal in moisture and give your skin a protective layer while you sleep.
