I recommend washing your face with brewed green tea.

This is a method I tried because I have a tendency for my skin to frequently feel hot. Instead of throwing away leftover green tea bags, I keep them chilled in the refrigerator and use them as the final step of my evening cleansing routine. Perhaps because green tea has a soothing effect, I can visibly see my redness subside significantly after rinsing like this. It costs nothing, and it allows me to utilize tea bags that would otherwise be thrown away, so it is killing two birds with one stone.
