Dear Ivanna~

It sounds as though you may have Rosacea, a skin condition that results in overly pink or red flushing of the skin.  A dermatogist can determine this for you and presribe the best products for your skin condition.  

Meanwhile, here are some suggestions for your skin type with the limited information I have on it:

There are many things that may be contributing to the redness, in addition or instead of the possibility of Rosacea.  Sensitive skin can react from a number of different cosmetics and skin care products, resulting in irritation, breakouts, and redness.

Are you using Cetaphil cleanser?  You should only be using a gentle skin cleanser such as this.  But, you should also be using an oil-free moisturizer with a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher every day.  

Sensitive skin can become very easily irritated and inflamed, especially if too much product is used or if it is washed too often. You should only wash your face in the evening. If you use a toner, be sure that it is alchohol-free.  

Having sensitive skin can be a tough problem to deal with. By using natural products that are specifically for this type of skin, avoiding over washing or over use of products, and by using  products with as few additives as possible, you have the best chance of obtaining more flawless skin.

Best of luck,
