Redness, cracked, and dry skin are just some of the signs of irritated and sensitive skin. As winter approaches, cold air and wind will exacerbate these issues. The struggle to find the right product to soothe the skin is often challenging due to the overwhelming choice with harmful ingredients for the skin. To make your search for the right product a little easier, we bring you a list of 5 natural ingredients that will soothe redness and irritated skin.

1. Parsley

A surprising ingredient on this list is parsley. However, parsley is not only a healthy ingredient for soup but also for your skin. Parsley is rich in vitamins and minerals that help maintain the natural moisture of the skin, keeping it hydrated and soft. It is also excellent in fighting skin redness as it contains antioxidants like vitamin C, which help reduce inflammation and redness on the skin. With regular use of parsley-rich cosmetics, you will notice a reduction in skin redness caused by irritations or sensitivity.

2. Milk Protein

Milk protein is one of those ingredients that is extremely good for our internal physiological composition as well as for skin care. As we say at Nikel, "inside and out." Today, the focus is on the "outside," and we can immediately say that milk protein is excellent for soothing inflamed skin and restoring the hydro-lipid barrier. Milk protein contains milk fats and lipids that help preserve the hydro-lipid barrier on the skin's surface. This barrier plays a crucial role in retaining moisture in the skin, preventing dryness, and protecting the skin from harmful external influences. Milk protein also contains anti-inflammatory properties, which help soothe inflamed skin. These anti-inflammatory properties are particularly good for sensitive skin prone to redness, acne, or irritations.

3. Passionflower

A flower of passion, also known as passionflower, is an excellent ingredient for calming nervousness and insomnia, as well as for soothing irritated skin. With its natural compounds containing anti-inflammatory properties, it helps reduce inflammation on the skin. In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, passionflower is rich in antioxidant properties, such as flavonoids, which protect the skin from harmful free radicals, UV radiation, and polluted air. Passionflower also hydrates the skin thanks to its moisturizing properties, which help maintain the optimal moisture level in the skin.

4. Vitamin E

Vitamin E, also known as the "miracle worker for the skin" and the "beauty vitamin," deserves these titles with its crucial role in protecting the skin from environmental stressors and UV radiation, as well as its anti-inflammatory properties. Here's how vitamin E contributes to skin health. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage skin cells, cause skin aging, and increase the risk of various skin diseases. Vitamin E, as a potent antioxidant, helps neutralize these free radicals and thus protects the skin from harmful effects. Additionally, vitamin E leaves your skin soft and smooth by promoting skin cell renewal and retaining moisture within the skin cells. With its anti-inflammatory properties, vitamin E helps reduce and prevent skin irritations and redness.

5. Almond

Although almond is a simple ingredient that can be easily found due to the benefits it provides to our skin, it is adorned with the title of possessing all the goodness in the world. We see this goodness in its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant powers. Almonds are rich in fatty acids and vitamins, including vitamin E, which helps maintain skin hydration. Using products with almonds or almond oil helps keep the skin moisturized and reduce dryness that can cause irritation. Almonds also protect the skin from external factors such as sunlight, allergies, or irritations due to their anti-inflammatory properties. These same anti-inflammatory properties lead to skin that is calmed from inflammation, redness, and irritations. Almonds are also rich in antioxidants that help protect the skin from harmful free radicals, reducing the risk of damaged skin.
