How to Notice and Manage Rosacea
Rosacea is a prevalent skin condition that can impact your daily life, characterized by persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small, red bumps on the face.
Understanding how to identify and manage rosacea is key to maintaining healthy, comfortable skin.
Recognizing Rosacea and Understanding Who is Affected
Rosacea is an inflammatory skin condition that typically includes redness or flushing in the nose and cheek area, along with other symptoms:
-
Visible veins
-
Swollen skin or bumps
-
Burning or stinging sensation
-
Eye irritation
If not managed properly, rosacea can lead to more severe issues. These can include thickened skin or rhinophyma (an enlarged nose).
Factors such as age, skin type, and environmental triggers can influence the development of rosacea. Women over 30 with fair skin are most often affected.
It can come and go. Learning your skin's triggers plays a big role in managing this condition. Contributing factors may include family history, sun exposure, hot weather, stress, and lifestyle elements like spicy foods and alcohol.
Natural Ingredients That Help with Rosacea
When managing rosacea, natural ingredients can play a significant role in soothing and protecting sensitive skin. Here’s a few of the ingredients in our products can help:
Aloe Vera
Known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, aloe vera calms redness and irritation, making it ideal for rosacea-prone skin.
Glycerin
This plant-based humectant attracts moisture to the skin, helping to maintain hydration and support the skin barrier, which can reduce irritation.
Sodium Hyaluronate
A naturally derived form of hyaluronic acid, this ingredient helps to retain moisture, keeping the skin plump and hydrated.
Rosehip Fruit Extract
Rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, rosehip extract supports skin repair and reduces redness and inflammation.
Calendula
Known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties, calendula extract soothes irritated skin and helps reduce redness.

Jojoba oil closely resembles the skin's natural oils, providing effective moisture without clogging pores, and helping to soothe irritated skin.
