When you suffer from rosacea, it can be difficult to find a suitable skincare routine . Indeed, this disease causes redness and sensations of tightness and burning that make the skin very sensitive and prone to inflammation .
Discover our tips for living better on a daily basis with skin that suffers from rosacea.
What is rosacea?
Rosacea is a skin disease that can start in adulthood, and mainly affects women. This dermatosis can manifest itself in several symptoms, and reach different stages, which can make daily life uncomfortable.
Possible manifestations include more or less extensive redness on the face (which can be light or severe), irritated and damaged skin , feelings of tightness , or even burning. Sometimes, rosacea can be confused with a form of acne.
We recommend that you first consult a dermatologist to diagnose your rosacea and obtain personalized advice from a healthcare professional.
Why take care of your rosacea with natural products?
Rosacea is a skin condition that makes the skin sensitive and delicate . In our opinion, it is essential to take care of it using gentle and natural care that does not dry out the skin.
By preserving the hydrolipidic film, you help your skin to better protect itself from external aggressions. However, chemicals attack this skin barrier and make it less effective.
You can observe the composition of your care products, and avoid those that contain alcohol. By opting for 100% natural care products , you increase the chances of tolerating them. If your skin is very sensitive, we still recommend that you do a test. Apply the treatment to a small part of your face, and wait 24 hours to see if there is no reaction.
Our advice for taking care of your skin when you have rosacea
By adopting these new habits, you will relieve your skin and live better on a daily basis with rosacea.
Use a mild cleanser
Cleansing is an essential step in any beauty routine, no matter your skin type. If you have rosacea, it is important to choose a gentle product that respects your delicate skin. In addition, the accumulation of impurities (bacteria, allergens, pollution, etc.) can cause a rosacea flare-up.
The Théobroma Facial Cleanser has a 100% natural and vegan formula certified by Ecocert Cosmos Organics. It does not contain any perfume , and is therefore suitable for the most sensitive skin. It contains cocoa butter, which helps nourish the skin, and it has a comforting texture that transforms into milk on contact with water, to gently cleanse your skin.
Choose lukewarm water over hot or cold water. Heat increases the risk of inflammation, while water that is too cold can dry out the skin.
Cleansing gestures should be gentle so as not to irritate the skin. Make circular movements, without rubbing vigorously. Finally, do not rub your face to dry it, but dab it gently.
Moisturize your skin daily
Proper daily hydration is essential for skin with rosacea. Make sure you drink enough water throughout the day, and use a facial moisturizer morning and night.
Our Day Cream SPF30 (TH3+) deeply hydrates the skin.
In case of an area very affected by rosacea, you can apply the Universal Concentrate - SOS Care . It acts as a real remedy to gently treat sensitive areas, restore the skin barrier and soothe irritations. Thanks to its practical format (30ml), you can slip it into your bag to take it everywhere with you!
Additional tips for rosacea
