Inflammation

Inflammation is swelling, redness, or heat within the skin and is your skin’s immune system reacting to an irritant and setting off a response to protect it from harm. Inflamed acne or rosacea or redness on the cheeks or following a sting or burn are all examples. Inflammation triggers include harsh exfoliants, prolonged sun exposure, alcohol, or even eating spicy foods. All skin types can be affected, but dry, dehydrated skin is particularly susceptible and causes sensitive skin.
