Cream for Rosacea
Rosacea is an inflammatory skin condition that causes an outbreak of red pustules on the face. If it goes untreated, it can become progressively worse, causing discomfort and embarrassment for those who experience it. Though there is no cure for the condition, there are many medications and treatments that can drastically reduce the signs and symptoms of Rosacea.
Choose the best cream for rosacea
For those with Rosacea, the best cream for rosacea is the one that are gentle and mild. Good examples of creams that are easily accessible at most stores are Dove (which helps to keep pores clear and provides gentle moisturizing), Cetaphil (which is fragrance free, extremely gentle, and helps to balance your skin’s pH level), Eucerin (which, in addition to being gentle and fragrance-free also helps to directly target redness of the face), Neutrogena Extra Gentle Cleanser (which has ingredients added for anti-irritation), and Aveeno (which reduces redness and calms skin irritation). Work with your budget and try different skin care products to see which works best for you.
Many people believe that a suntan will mask the redness caused by their Rosacea, but the opposite is true. Exposure to sun, especially when your skin is unprotected, often causes the symptoms to become worse. Tanning will not mask the symptoms; instead, it will cause the skin to become less resistant and more prone to outbreaks of Rosacea.
Because Rosacea symptoms can sometimes imitate acne, some people believe that acne medications can help with their Rosacea outbreaks. Again, this is false. The acne medications are often harsh and can cause the skin on your face to become inflamed and irritated, especially if it is already in poor condition.
To mask the symptoms of Rosacea, make-up can be used, but you’ll want to be mindful to use it sparingly. The more make-up you use, the more likely it is that your skin will become irritated, which is what you want to avoid. Instead, choose light, gentle make-ups that provide coverage without weighing down your skin. Choose make-up that is fragrance-free, natural, and hypo-allergenic for the best results.
Unfortunately, there is no sure fire way to prevent Rosacea flare-ups. However, there are some steps that you can take to visibly reduce the severity of symptoms. First, you want to stick through long-term treatment, whether it is something you have discovered to be effective on your own or something you have discussed with your doctor. Do not lapse in your following through with this treatment, because that lapse may give your Rosacea enough time to act out.
You’ll also want to find out what exactly triggers your Rosacea. It can be a variety of things, from hot temperatures to spicy foods to stress; if you can find out your specific trigger, you will be able to develop strategies to help you avoid them. And, as usual with a good skin care routine, you want to be gentle to your skin. Select good quality creams and make-up that won’t irritate your skin further.
It is very possible to successfully manage your Rosacea. By following the steps above and by not falling for the usual misconceptions of Rosacea, you can visibly reduce the redness in your face.
