Take Redness to Calm, Cool, Collected

Henkey's Four Step Anti-Redness Routine

Blotchy, flushed, or easily irritated skin? Whether it’s from stress, shaving, or just life, redness is usually your skin’s barrier crying out for calm. The fix: soothe inflammation, hydrate smart, and protect against daily triggers—so you look sharp, not stressed.


Why These Steps Work

Gentle Cleanser: Cleans without stripping or over-aggravating, which keeps your barrier from flaring up.

Eye Care: The under-eye is where irritation shows first. Cooling hydration helps reduce puffiness and calm visible redness.

Barrier-Friendly Moisturizer: Hydration strengthens the skin’s defense layer, preventing dryness that amplifies redness.

SPF: UV exposure is one of the biggest redness triggers. A mineral sunscreen shields without irritation.

Aftershave Balm: If shaving is your main redness culprit, a soothing balm restores calm post-razor.


Baseline Routine (4 Steps)

Blu Atlas Volcanic Ash Face Cleanser (AM/PM) → Detoxes without harshness. Cleans gently while balancing skin’s natural oils.
