10 Tips for Soothing Inflamed Skin

Inflamed skin can manifest in many ways: redness, itching, irritation, or a burning sensation. Often, it’s the body’s way of signaling that something is out of balance, whether due to external factors (like weather, pollution, or harsh products) or internal ones (stress, dietary imbalances, or hormonal changes).

 

Here are 10 tips to help you calm skin inflammation. We place special emphasis on how CBD, CBG, MCT oil, and jojoba oil can support the skin’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), microbial diversity, and barrier function, as well as how our mushroom supplement with Reishi, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, and Chaga can bolster the body’s internal defenses against inflammation.

 

 

1. Use Gentle Makeup Remover

 

Why It Matters: 

With inflamed skin, it’s crucial not to aggravate it further. Harsh soaps, scrubs, and cleansers can worsen redness and irritation.

 

How to Do It:  

- Choose a mild cleanser based on MCT oil that dissolves dirt and makeup without disturbing the skin’s natural oils.  

- Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry gently.  

 

 

2. Reduce Redness with CBD and CBG

 

Why It Matters: 

CBD (cannabidiol) and CBG (cannabigerol) have both gained attention for their potential anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. By supporting the skin’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), they can help regulate the inflammation process.

 

How to Do It:  

- Add an oil or serum containing CBD and CBG to your daily routine.  

- Apply with light motions to avoid further irritating the skin.  

 

3. Hydrate and Protect with Jojoba Oil

 

Why It Matters: 

When skin is inflamed and damaged, its barrier function may be compromised. Jojoba oil resembles the skin’s own sebum, helping to restore moisture balance and reinforce the barrier.

 

How to Do It:  

- After cleansing, massage in a few drops of jojoba oil to lock in moisture and calm the skin. 

- Pair it with CBD- and CBG-based products for an added anti-inflammatory boost.  

 

4. Be Cautious with Strong Active Ingredients

 

Why It Matters: 

Exfoliating acids, retinoids, or other potent substances can stress already inflamed skin, leading to more redness and further weakening the barrier.

 

How to Do It:  

- Pause or minimize the use of strong products until the inflammation subsides.  

- Focus on gentle cleansing, hydration, and soothing ingredients like CBD, CBG, and jojoba.  

 

5. Support Your Body Internally with Mushroom Supplements

 

Why It Matters: 

The body’s ability to manage inflammation is tied to the immune system and overall health. Our mushroom supplement with Reishi, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, and Chaga offers adaptogenic and antioxidant properties.

 

How to Do It:  

- Take the supplement daily to support stress management and immunity.  

- Combine it with a healthy diet rich in antioxidants and omega fatty acids for optimal results. 

6. Reduce Stress

 

Why It Matters: 

Stress is a common trigger for inflamed skin. When cortisol levels rise, skin inflammation can worsen, often appearing as increased redness and sensitivity.

 

How to Do It:  

- Prioritize recovery with practices like meditation, yoga, or walks in nature.  

- Aim for at least 7–8 hours of sleep per night to give your skin time to repair itself.  

 

7. Avoid External Irritants

 

Why It Matters: 

Pollution, smoking, excessive UV exposure, and temperature swings can elevate skin inflammation levels. When the skin is already sensitive, extra care is needed.

 

How to Do It:  

- Protect your skin from extreme weather by wearing soft clothing and avoiding prolonged exposure to cold or heat.  

- Use a gentle, non-comedogenic sunscreen if you’ll be outdoors for extended periods.  

 

8. Drink Enough Water

 

Why It Matters: 

Water helps the body transport nutrients and remove waste. Dehydration can worsen inflammation and make the skin more sensitive.

 

How to Do It:  

- Try to drink consistently throughout the day, rather than large amounts at once.  

- Complement with a diet full of fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats.  

 

9. Maintain a Simple, Consistent Skincare Routine

 

Why It Matters: 

When skin is inflamed, it’s tempting to try everything at once, but this can backfire and cause more irritation.

 

How to Do It:  

- Build a routine with cleansing, a light oil or serum, and hydration.  

- Give your skin time to adjust to products—avoid swapping out your entire routine too quickly. 

 

10. Listen to Your Body’s Signals

 

Why It Matters: 

Inflamed skin is often a warning sign that something isn’t right—either in the skin itself or in the body as a whole.

 

How to Do It:  

- Keep a journal of what you eat, how you feel, and how your skin reacts.  

- Consider consulting a dermatologist or expert if the issues persist or become severe.
