Calming Inflammation

Skin inflammation is a commonly recognized symptom of aggressors affecting our skin or body. It is mostly characterized by redness, swelling, tenderness, or warmth. Not every inflammatory response looks the same. Inflammation is caused by the body’s immune system reacting to an unknown or aggravating substance. It can be brought on due to skincare ingredients, food sensitivities, or environmental aggressors. It affects nearly everyone at one time or another regardless of age, skin type, or lifestyle.    

Skin inflammation has many causes, whether introduced topically, through ingestion, or by just being exposed to environmental irritants. Skin is affected mainly by the products and procedures we apply and do. Typically, skin inflammation means that the natural microbiome and the skin’s acid mantle have been disrupted. It can also indicate that the body overproduces white blood cells to remove an irritant but is causing more harm than good.
