When suffering from rosacea, it is difficult to find a suitable skincare routine . Indeed, this condition causes redness and sensations of tightness and burning, which make the skin very sensitive and prone to inflammation .
Discover our tips for better daily living with skin that suffers from rosacea.
What is rosacea?
Rosacea is a skin condition that can develop in adulthood and primarily affects women. This dermatosis can manifest with various symptoms and progress through different stages, which can make daily life uncomfortable.
Possible symptoms include more or less widespread redness on the face (which can be mild or intense), irritated and damaged skin , sensations of tightness , or even burning. Sometimes, rosacea can be mistaken for a form of acne.
We strongly recommend that you first consult a dermatologist to diagnose your rosacea and obtain personalized advice from a healthcare professional.
Why treat rosacea with natural products?
Rosacea is a skin condition that makes the skin sensitive and delicate . In our opinion, it is essential to treat it using gentle, natural products that do not dry out the skin.
By preserving the hydrolipidic film, you help your skin better protect itself from external aggressors. However, chemical products damage this skin barrier and make it less effective.
You can check the ingredients of your skincare products and avoid those containing alcohol. By opting for 100% natural products , you increase the chances of tolerating them. If your skin is very sensitive, we still recommend doing a patch test. Apply the product to a small area of your face and wait 24 hours to see if any reaction occurs.
Our tips for taking care of your skin if you have rosacea
By adopting these new habits, you will soothe your skin and live better on a daily basis with rosacea.
Use a mild cleanser
Cleansing is a crucial step in any beauty routine, regardless of your skin type. If you have rosacea, it's important to choose a gentle product that respects your delicate skin. Furthermore, the accumulation of impurities (bacteria, allergens, pollution, etc.) can trigger a rosacea flare-up.
Théobroma Facial Cleanser has a 100% natural and vegan formula certified by Ecocert Cosmos Organics. It is fragrance-free , making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin. It contains cocoa butter, which helps nourish the skin, and has a comforting texture that transforms into a milk upon contact with water, gently cleansing your skin.
Opt for lukewarm water rather than hot or cold water. Heat increases the risk of inflammation, while water that is too cold can dry out the skin.
Cleansing should be gentle to avoid irritating the skin. Use circular motions, without rubbing vigorously. Finally, do not rub your face to dry it, but pat it gently.
Moisturize your skin daily
Proper daily hydration is essential for skin affected by rosacea. Make sure you drink enough water throughout the day, and use a facial moisturizer morning and night.

Additional advice for rosacea
Other habits can help you limit rosacea flare-ups. Of course, it's important to have a healthy lifestyle and eat well , avoiding inflammatory foods (corn, spicy foods, alcohol, etc.).
Avoid hot baths, saunas, and steam rooms. As mentioned, heat causes inflammation in the body, which can aggravate rosacea.
Finally, avoid coarse scrubs, exfoliating gloves, undiluted essential oils, or any other product that may damage your delicate skin.
