When familiar products cause redness?

I have personally experienced such a reaction and I'm sure someone else was also confused when a familiar care product suddenly caused tingling, redness or even burning. 

There is no need to be frightened. Everything is understandable:

  1. The barrier function of the skin is disturbed: you have overdone it with acids or retinol. Or you are quite a brave woman who mixed two of these actives in one routine 🥲 What to do in such a case? Repair your skin with ceramides. 
  1. You are under stress and your nervous system is literally on edge. If the usual product gives redness, and you know for sure that you did not traumatize your skin earlier, it is worth thinking about how to restore the internal balance. 
  1. A change of climate or a long flight (10% humidity at altitude and 25% in the Sahara Desert) can also cause dehydration of the skin, leading to a broken barrier. Here you should help your skin with the same ceramides
