Rosacea Skincare Guide

 

Step by Step Guide to Treat Rosacea

​

Rosacea is a skin condition that requires diligent care to manage its symptoms and prevent flare-ups. Individuals prone to rosacea need to be mindful of their skincare routine and avoid certain triggers that can worsen the condition. In this guide, we will explore a step-by-step approach to caring for rosacea-prone skin using LEMYKA skincare products.

 

1. Cleanse your face gently: Cleansing is an essential step in any skincare routine,

but it is especially crucial for individuals with rosacea. Use LEMYKA Gentle Face Cleanser,

a mild and rosacea-friendly cleanser that does not strip the skin of its natural moisture.

Apply the cleanser with your fingertips in a gentle, circular motion. Avoid scrubbing your

skin aggressively, as it can cause irritation and redness. Rinse off the cleanser with

lukewarm water to avoid extremes of temperature, which can trigger flare-ups. Pat

your face dry gently with a towel instead of rubbing.

 

 

 

 

2. Moisturize daily: Proper hydration is key to maintaining healthy skin and reducing

rosacea symptoms. Apply LEMYKA Natural Healing Lotion, a moisturizer specifically

designed for sensitive and rosacea-prone skin. Moisturize your face multiple times

a day to keep your skin hydrated and to improve the results of your treatment. The

lotion's soothing properties can help alleviate redness and inflammation.

 

 

 

 

3. Protect your skin from the sun: Sun exposure is a common trigger for rosacea

flare-ups, so it is crucial to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. Use LEMYKA Zinc

Oxide Mineral Sunscreen daily on your face and neck. Look for sunscreens that contain

zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, or both, as these ingredients provide broad-spectrum

protection. Choose a fragrance-free sunscreen to avoid potential skin irritation. Apply

sunscreen generously and reapply every two hours, especially if you are spending time

outdoors.

In addition to following a proper skincare routine, there are certain things you should avoid to minimize rosacea flare-ups:

 

1. Avoid overheating: Overheating can trigger flushing and exacerbate rosacea symptoms. ​​​​

    - Take warm baths and showers instead of hot ones.

    - Dress in layers, so you can remove clothing if you start to feel overheated.

    - Use a cold, wet cloth around your neck or sip a cold drink to cool down.

    - Keep cool with fans or air-conditioning

    - Sit at a comfortable distance from heat sources like fireplaces and heaters.

​

2. Protect against cold wind: Cold and windy environments can also provoke rosacea flare-ups.

    - Cover your face, up to just beneath your eyes, with a scarf made of silk or acrylic to protect against windburn.

    - Avoid rough fabrics like wool that can irritate your skin.

    - Limit your time spent outdoors in cold and windy weather.

 

3. Exercise smartly: Exercise is beneficial for overall health, but intense workouts can trigger rosacea

  - Opt for low- or medium-intensity exercises that won't cause overheating.

    - Exercise in cool environments, such as air-conditioned gyms or shaded areas.

    - Consider water-based exercises like aqua aerobics or swimming in cool water.

    - Carry a towel soaked in cold water, a bottle of cold water, or ice cubes to cool down quickly after working out.
