What to do for couperose, redness and dilated veins?

What is couperosis?

Couperosis is the term used to describe a dilatation of the smallest blood vessels. When you can see small red veins through the top layer of skin. Most people inherit the predisposition to it, but the fine redness can also occur in very sensitive skin, as the skin barrier is weakened there and the underlying skin layers and also capillaries tend to irritate as a result.

Characteristics of classic couperosis are redness, dryness and sensitivity, but these can be alleviated well with appropriate care.

We recommend the following treatments:

1. DOCTOR BABOR ultrasound treatment - stimulates lymph flow, soothes sensitive skin, immediately relieves redness and moisturises the skin to the core

2. DOCTOR BABOR 60 min - with special active ingredients from the DOCTOR BABOR NEURO SENSITIVE line, even couperose in extreme cases or extremely dry sensitive skin can be treated and improved.

3. BABOR Hydra Plus Facial - cleanses pores, gently removes dry skin cells, moisturises deep into the skin and seals in new "skin protection components

In addition to a professional facial treatment, Christina Damm , owner of the three C1 Kosmetik studios in Munich, gives us three expert tips on how to prevent unloved skin changes:

1. gentle and thorough cleansing!
In the morning and evening, the skin should be freed from bacteria and metabolic waste with a mild cleansing. Product recommendation: DOCTOR BABOR Neuro Sensitive Cleanser - the active ingredient combination of Neuroxyl, gamma-linolenic acid, dexpanthenol and microsilver reduces irritation and redness and strengthens the regeneration of the skin's natural protective barrier.

2. SOS programme for problem skin!
In the case of inflammatory skin conditions, it is important to react immediately and supply the skin with the necessary nutrients. In addition, the natural defence against bacteria must be supported by targeted care! Product recommendation: DOCTOR BABOR Neuro Sensitive Cream/ Cream Rich as well as DOCTOR BABOR PRO Microsilver Concentrate and BETA GLUCAN Concentrate. These products have been specially developed for problem skin and reduce the skin's own stress indicators and overreactions. For immediate skin calming.

3. build-up and prevention!
Those who are prone to couperose or sensitive skin should pay attention to a long-term preventive rebuilding programme to strengthen the skin's protection. It is important to include sufficient antioxidants and moisture in your beauty routine and to follow other tips in your daily routine. Product recommendation: DOCTOR BABOR PRO Hyaluronic Acid Concentrate, DOCTOR BABOR Refine Cellular Couperose Dual, Serum & Cream - These products are designed for long-term prevention and are excellently suited.

4. strengthening from the inside!
To get the inflammatory factors and free radicals under control in the long term, targeted antioxidants, vitamins and micronutrients can also help from the inside. Beauty supplements can counteract negative environmental influences and thus also improve the skin's irritation threshold. Product recommendation: OGAENICS Anti Stress Complex Adapto Genie

More tips for your everyday life:

Can my lifestyle influence couperosis? 

The answer is yes! With nutrition, as with care, there are various dos and don'ts.

‍

Dos:

- Healthy, balanced and vitamin-rich diet

- Especially vitamins A, C, E not only support the immune system in general, but also the skin's defence against free radicals.

- Secondary plant substances strengthen the effect of vitamins and also have an anti-inflammatory effect.

Don'ts:

- Smoking and alcohol -> both make the vessels porous in the long run, which would only aggravate the clinical picture of couperosis.

- Spicy foods -> can increase blood flow and generate heat

- Excessive stress -> weakens not only the body's defence system in general, but also that of the skin
