Rosacea Skin Care Products

Rosacea sufferers frequently have easily irritated and sensitive skin so it is important to choose products for the skin that are mild and non-irritating. Any product that produces a stinging or burning sensation should be avoided. Many people have reported that products containing salicylic acid, clove oil, eucalyptus oil, menthol and peppermint have irritated their skin. Always choose rosacea skin care products that are mild and contain no ingredients that can cause irritation.

Sufferers should also use a good sunscreen as exposure to the sun can result in flare ups of the condition and they may be more susceptible to sun damage. Some sunscreens may cause irritation of the sensitive skin so in this case sunblocks containing titanium dioxide or zinc can be used instead.

Rosacea Skin Care Products

All products used on the skin should have anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients. Extracts of Willowherb are often used in rosacea skin care products as this has healing properties. It has been used for many years to treat inflammation and heal burns and can reduce the redness of the skin present in rosacea sufferers. Vitamin K is also helpful in treating rosacea as it is an important vitamin for blood vessel health so is effective in helping to heal the tiny capillaries of the face.

For women an important consideration is to choose suitable cosmetics that are oil free and designed not to block the pores (non-comedogenic). Heavy make up that traps in oils and clogs pores is best avoided as it will encourage bacteria to multiply. Skin care products specially made for rosacea sufferers should be used as they are gentle and contain no irritating ingredients and often contain Willowherb and other ingredients that will help to treat the condition.
