When you have sensitive skin, your skin's natural barrier is altered and allows transepidermal water loss (dehydration) and the entry of aggressive agents such as pollution, which triggers even more sensitivity. The blood vessels may become more dilated (couperosis) and therefore present a face with redder areas.

From a certain point onwards, and due to stimulation of the sebaceous glands, papules and pustules may appear (pimples similar to Acne on the face), but without any type of retentional lesion such as blackheads or whiteheads.

Couperose skin can be triggered and promoted by several internal and external factors:
• spicy or hot foods, as well as alcoholic drinks;
• cold wind or prolonged exposure to the sun;
• inappropriate cosmetics or incorrect advice on their application;
• taking corticosteroids (can cause blood vessels to dilate and make your skin more fragile)

The Dr Mariana Morais Skincare cosmetic routine protects and soothes sensitive/dehydrated/couperose skin with ingredients that strengthen the skin barrier for immediate and long-term results.
