Rosacea: What is it and what can you do about it?

What is rosacea?

Rosacea is a long-term inflammatory skin condition that causes the skin to flare up and become red, usually around the nose and cheeks. Bumps and pimples can also appear.

What can you do about it?

Rosacea can be reduced by avoiding certain foods, such as spicy foods, alcohol, and hot drinks. Temperature fluctuations and stress can also be triggers.

Another thing that can help is taking a closer look at your skincare routine. Here are a few tips:

1) Use a gentle, fragrance-free, and sulfate-free cleanser . Avoid harsh foaming cleansers, as these often contain sulfates, which can damage your skin barrier.

2) Use a gentle and natural face cream, preferably with squalane. This is a natural ingredient found in olives, known to soothe rosacea. You'll find this ingredient in our Nourishing Day and Night Cream . Ingredients like green tea and aloe vera are also known to soothe the skin.

3) Avoid harsh scrubs and harsh peels. If you do want to gently exfoliate, choose a gentle option, like our Exfoliating Konjac Sponge with green tea.

4) Use less, care more. This remains the best tip, especially for sensitive skin!
