Begin by gently patting on a calming moisturiser to soothe irritated skin. In the office, keep a face mist in your drawer to soothe skin and relieve redness, which is also caused by sun exposure, so always use sunscreen after moisturiser.

#2 Resolve Redness

2/3

To neutralise redness and even out your complexion, makeup artist Larry Yeo says: “Apply a green makeup primer, the anti-redness ally that tones down flushed areas of your face. Try NYX Studio Perfect Photo-Loving Primer Anti-Redness.” Follow with a yellow-based foundation that also helps get rid of redness, and then dust loose powder over the areas that tend to get oily.
