What type of skin care should I use if I have Rosacea?
People with Rosacea often suffer from extremely sensitive and easily irritated skin. You should avoid using any products that contain common irritants. A useful rule of thumb may be to select products that contain no irritating or unnecessary ingredients including, harsh lathering agents in cleansers, witch hazel, fragrance, menthol, peppermint, eucalyptus oil, clove oil and salicylic and hydroxy acids.
Sunscreens or sunblocks effective against the full broad spectrum of ultraviolet A and B radiation are especially important for people with rosacea. Rosacea can leave facial skin particularly susceptible to sun damage and sun exposure can lead to consequent rosacea flare-ups. Use an SPF of 15 or higher that contains non-irritating physical blocks like zinc or titanium dioxide - as chemical sunscreens may cause irritation.
