Apply green tea to skin. Green tea has anti-inflammatory agents and helps constrict blood vessels in your skin, which will help reduce redness and inflammation. Put several tea bags or a few tablespoons of loose leaf tea in a pot of boiling water and remove from heat. Let the tea steep for 10 minutes.
People with rosacea become easily red from triggers like the sun or a glass of wine. A condition called perioral dermatitis causes redness around the mouth, chin, nose and even up near the eyes. Whatever the cause of your facial redness, here are some simple home treatments that are both gentle and effective.
Try soothing skin with a honey mask. First rinse your skin with warm water, then apply honey liberally to red skin and leave it on for about 30 minutes before rinsing off. However, don't use honey if your red skin is due to a sunburn. Oatmeal is another natural anti-inflammatory, says Dr. Benabio.
