Perioral DermatitisUpdated 8 days ago
Perioral dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin condition characterized by red, bumpy, and sometimes flaky patches around the mouth, nose, or eyes. It can feel itchy, stinging, or burning, and is often triggered or worsened by certain products and habits.
What to Avoid
To promote healing and prevent flare-ups, we recommend avoiding the following:
- Toothpaste with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS): This common foaming agent is a known irritant. Choose SLS-free toothpaste instead.
- Acids and Retinols: Avoid applying exfoliating acids (like glycolic or salicylic acid) and retinol serums near the affected area.
- Spicy and Acidic Foods: These can trigger irritation and flare-ups from the inside out.
- Heavy or Oily Moisturizers: Thick creams or oils can trap heat and bacteria, making symptoms worse.
What We Recommend
Step 1: SIV Biome Balancing Serum
Apply SIV to rebalance and heal the skin's microbiome, which plays a vital role in calming inflammation and preventing future flare-ups.
Step 2: Circadia Tranquili-Cream
Follow with Circadia Tranquili-Cream to soothe and restore the skin. This gentle formula:
- Instantly calms redness, itching, stinging, and burning
- Supports the repair of the skin's lipid barrier
- Provides lightweight hydration without clogging pores or worsening irritation
Consistency is key. Be gentle with your skin, avoid over-cleansing or scrubbing, and give your routine time to work.
