Redness & Inflammation

When skin appears flushed or irritated

Redness and inflammation are signs that the skin is in a heightened state of response. This can be triggered by stress, environmental exposure, temperature changes, or overuse of actives.

Inflamed skin needs calm, consistency, and barrier support. Stripping or over-exfoliating can intensify redness and slow recovery.

Menteath takes a gentle, restorative approach to help reduce visible redness and support skin comfort over time.

Redness-prone skin may experience:

  • Persistent flushing

  • Uneven skin tone

  • Sensitivity to heat or cold

  • Inflammation linked to stress

Recommended for redness & inflammation

Wild Path Body Ritual

Redness-prone skin is often in a heightened state of response — reacting not only to products, but to stress, temperature changes, and external agitation.

Wild Path Body Ritual is designed to calm both skin and senses, recognising that inflammation often reflects nervous system stress as much as surface irritation.

When used as a moisturising ritual, Wild Path helps nourish the skin barrier while creating a protective layer that reduces exposure to everyday external stressors.

Why it supports redness-prone skin

  • Helps comfort skin that feels reactive or overstimulated

  • Supports the skin barrier, reducing sensitivity to external triggers

  • Calming aroma encourages relaxation, which can help settle visible flushing

How to use
Can be used as a daily moisturiser, particularly in the evening, or as part of a bath ritual to calm the body and skin before rest.

Wild Eye Night Serum

Inflamed or redness-prone skin benefits from gentle, targeted care — especially in delicate areas where irritation often shows first.

Wild Eye Night Serum is formulated to support overnight recovery, helping nourish and comfort the skin while you rest.

Used consistently, it supports skin resilience without adding heaviness or irritation.

Why it works for inflamed skin

  • Gentle enough for sensitive, redness-prone areas

  • Supports overnight skin repair and comfort

  • Designed to calm rather than stimulate the skin

How to use
Apply as part of your evening routine, allowing skin to recover without interference.

A note on makeup and inflamed skin

When skin is visibly red or inflamed, it can be tempting to reach for makeup to cover the irritation. While occasional use is understandable, frequent application can further agitate already stressed skin.

During flare-ups, allowing the skin to breathe — supported by calming oils and barrier-focused care — often helps redness settle more effectively than masking it.

This approach encourages recovery, rather than concealment.


Supporting calm from the inside out

Redness is often a signal that the skin needs reassurance, not correction. Gentle routines, calming aromas, and consistent care help reduce reactivity over time.


Not sure what’s driving your redness?

Stress, environment, and hormonal shifts can all play a role.
