There are two types of inflammation in the skin: acute and chronic. Acute inflammation usually lasts six weeks or less and can result from many skin issues, like acne, sunburns and allergic reactions. Chronic inflammation goes beyond six weeks and maybe indefinite. It often goes hand in hand with eczema, rosacea and psoriasis.
Inflammation can also be the result of certain lifestyle habits. Joanna Vargas, Celebrity Facialist, ties this to alcohol consumption, an increase in stress levels, poor diet, lack of digestion as well as a lack of sleep.
