Rosacea skin care: how to choose the right products and a sample routine

What is rosacea and why does the skin need special attention?

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that most commonly affects the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. It is characterized by redness, visible capillaries, a burning sensation, sensitivity, and in more advanced cases, pimples or bumps.

The causes of rosacea are complex — genetics, a weakened skin barrier, UV rays, stress, hormones, temperature, certain foods and drinks.

Basic needs of skin with rosacea:

• Very gentle cleansing
• Soothing and barrier-strengthening ingredients
• Intensive hydration
• Strong daily protection with SPF
• Avoiding irritating ingredients (strong alcohol, perfumes, acids in high concentration)
