Natural Treatments for Rosacea
Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes flushing or long-term redness on the face. It also may cause enlarged blood vessels. Studies suggest rosacea could be a symptom of a condition that affects your blood vessels, immune, or nervous system.
Managing rosacea typically involves a combination of lifestyle modifications, skincare routines, and treatments. Here are some of our suggestions on how to holistically soothe rosacea.
How to Teat Skin With Rosacea
Sun exposure, skin or hair products, a change in temperature, stress, alcohol, spicy foods, and hormonal changes may result in a flareup of rosacea.
Keep a list of foods, skincare products, and environmental changes to discern triggers. Narrow down which foods, skincare products, or habits might be causing a flareup of rosacea, and begin eliminating these exposures. Eliminate the exposure that is potentially causing a reaction for 2 to 6 weeks, then gradually reintroduce it. If the symptoms go away when the exposure is removed and return when it is reintroduced, this suggests you have found a trigger.
General good practices for those with rocsacea include:
- Avoid sun exposure by wearing hats, seeking shade, and using a gentle sunscreen.
- Avoid spicy foods, hot beverages, and alcohol.
- Use stress management techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga, or therapy may help reduce stress-related flare-ups of rosacea.
- Use gentle, rosacea friendly skincare products and routines. Avoid harsh cleansers, exfoliants, and abrasive scrubs that can exacerbate redness and inflammation.
Skincare Suggestions
Many popular skincare products contain ingredients like menthol, camphor, or sodium lauryl sulfate. These often irritate the skin and result in a flareup of rosacea. Avoid using astringents and alcohol based products.
Dermatologists recommend applying a mild, fragrance-free emollient to your skin before you apply makeup.
Try skincare with natural and gentle ingredients to soothe, repair, and nourish the skin.
