- Earth Science has an herbal tonic facial mist that is an oil-free moisturizer which is sprayed (misted) directly onto your face. If you store it in the fridge, it is very refreshing and helps cool and lower the skin temperature of the face immediately. Because it’s a mist, it can easily be applied before and/or after applying your make-up.
- There is a face cream called ROSACURE which is an anti-redness cream formulated for rosacea-prone skin.
- Guinot has a face cream called Red Logic which claims to neutralize the appearance of red blood vessels.
- LaTherapie Paris has a fortifying skin cream that is supposed to help soften high colour (reduce redness)
Here are a few helpful, (and natural) hints for dealing with rosacea:
- avoid any products with alcohol (internally or externally)
- only use gentle, alcohol-free cleansers on your face
- avoid scented soaps and creams
- have a daily facial cleansing routine (2x daily, morning & night. Do not scrub as this will irritate the skin)
- try a dairy milk face-soak during a flare-up (as long as you’re not allergic) The dairy milk helps to balance the natural PH of the skin
- try using face lotion containing certified green algae (use lotion, not creams, as lotion is more gentle on the skin and absorbs more easily)
- avoid extended periods in direct sun (use sunblock with 15 – 30 spf)
- drink green tea, rose hip tea, and fennel tea (great antioxidants)
- eat foods high in anti-oxidants; such as blueberries, cranberries, purple grapes, broccoli, etc..
- avoid spicy foods and greasy foods
- find out what your own personal food “triggers” are and avoid them so you can avoid flare-ups of redness and acne. (many people find food with histamines aggravate the redness)
- avoid hot things. Hot showers & hot tubs, hot drinks (the heat will dilate blood vessels causing more redness)
- try to get at least 7 – 8 hours of sleep each night (aids in the healing processes of the body)
- try to cut down on stress (stress can magnify a multitude of conditions)
You can try increasing your omega 3′s by taking supplements such as Evening Primrose Oil. Fennel seeds, Flax seeds and Flax seed Oil supplements also act as anti-inflammatories. Some people have had success using Turmeric orally or topically.
