If the combination of sunshine and stress has left your skin ultra red and flakier than a French pastry, slather on this SkinCeuticals Phyo Corrective Masque, $55, to reduce irritation and minimize dry patches. Whether you're fighting a post workout flush or severe windburn, the mixture of cucumber, thyme, and hyaluronic acid make this formula the perfect fast-acting relief for red skin. Pro tip: Keep it in the fridge for an ultra-cooling, after-sun soothing effect.
Adding an essence to your skincare routine can make a major difference when it comes to soothing a skin freak out. The key ingredient in Jurlique Activating Water Essence , $55, is marshmallow root extract, which attracts and holds water to the surface of the skin, helping it to absorb your serums and moisturizers more efficiently.
As the name implies, the Eve Lom Rescue Mask, $85, is a real skin saver. Use as an emergency treatment after a boozy night out or when your skin is puffy and sallow -- no matter the reason, this will give sluggish skin the instant boost it needs to be clear and radiant.
Don't toss your anti-aging skincare products aside when your skin gets stressed out. Instead, add one into your routine that will accelerate the skin's natural renewal process for faster healing. Strivectin Multi-Action Restorative Cream, $95, tackles dehydration while strengthening the skin's moisture barrier so it'll be more resilient against environmental (and emotional) stressors.
Specifically formulated to manage temperamental skin, Skin Inc. Vitamin B3+ Serum, $45, improves both tone and texture while also controlling any redness. It's even gentle enough to use around the eye area, so liberally apply twice a day before your daily moisturizer.
