Stick to non comedogenic face products and stay away from products that contain alcohol, which can be drying and irritating to skin. Avoid getting too hot and sweaty and watch your intake of extremely hot or spicy foods and liquids. You can also wear makeup to cover the redness, preferably makeup that contains a green or yellow tint, which help mask redness more effectively.
