Skin Care Solutions for Rosacea

Condition overview

  • An estimated 14 million people in the United States suffer from rosacea, and yet still the exact cause is not universally understood and accepted.
  • Symptoms range from acne to redness and can come and go throughout life; many who suffer from this chronic condition are completely unaware that they even have it.
  • Women are more often affected by rosacea. It tends to be more common with those who have fair skin and are between 30 and 60 years of age.
  • If not treated, symptoms tend to worsen or become more persistent, bumps or acne may develop and a condition called rhinophyma may appear, which causes excess tissue to develop on the nose.
  • Other signs may include facial swelling, raised red patches on the skin, eye irritation and dry, rough skin. However, rosacea can also accompany oily skin as well.
  • If you suspect you have rosacea, we recommend that you visit a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis.

Key ingredient to look for

  • Green Tea

    Green Tea

    Antioxidant-rich green tea has been well documented in helping soothe skin due to its anti-inflammatory properties, which specifically helps with sun sensitivity in rosacea sufferers. Green tea extract may also reduce disruptions of the skin barrier, a common rosacea symptom. Plus special photoprotective properties may help ease symptoms by lessening the skin’s reaction to ultraviolet light.

  • Licorice Root

    Licorice Root

    Another plant-based anti-inflammatory, licorice root contains glycyrrhiza, which helps reduce inflammation while soothing skin according to laboratory studies. It’s used as a natural replacement for hydrocortisone as it helps sooth irritation while reducing redness and swelling. It also inhibits histamine release due to allergic reactions, which may also help during rosacea flare-ups.

  • Chamomile

    Chamomile

    A key ingredient in many skin care products for those with sensitive skin, chamomile is widely known for its ability to gently calm and soothe. Studies have shown that the anti-inflammatory properties in chamomile may help ease the symptoms in patients with various inflammatory skin issues, including rosacea.

  • Oatmeal

    Oatmeal

    Oatmeal is ideal to help treat rosacea for multiple reasons. It acts as a gentle cleanser to absorb dirt and oil. It is also calming and helps provide protection and relief against skin irritation and itching. Its moisturizing properties also help soothe dry skin. Rosacea sufferers will also benefit from its protective ingredients that act as a barrier to provide a buffer against skin irritations that may cause flare-ups.

Alternative recommendations

  • Start by keeping a record of your flare-ups to help identify what may be causing them. It could be anything from your fabric softener to the moisturizer you use. Try to avoid products with chemical exfoliants, synthetic colors, preservatives and fragrances, as they could trigger symptoms.
  • To help soothe irritated eyes, try a comforting compress such as the Dr. Hauschka Eye Solace, which may be used as eye drops (although this is not listed as an official method of use).
  • It may seem deceptively simple, but it’s important to get enough sleep and alter your diet as this can reduce flare-ups.
  • Several foods that may aggravate rosacea include yogurt, cheese, caffeine, spinach, citrus fruits and a wide range of spicy foods.
  • Nutritional supplements such as taking evening primrose oil, vitamin A and vitamin B complex daily may also help.
  • Those with rosacea should avoid heavy exercise, hot baths, too much sun exposure, caffeine and alcohol.
