Once rosacea has been diagnosed, treatment for the condition can begin. Although there isn’t a cure for rosacea yet, the irritations of the skin can be relieved. The results of the remedies applied may vary from person to person.

Vinegar irritates some skin conditions, but some people swear that they have found relief from the symptoms of rosacea by applying unfiltered organic apple cider vinegar to the irritated areas of the skin.

Apple cider vinegar taken orally is also reported to have helped many who have noticed an improvement when they use it consistently. Apple cider vinegar can be used to make salad dressings and flavor beet and beans.

Cool cucumber slices or teabags can often offer temporary relief to irritated eyes. Cucumber water and cool herbal teas can also be used on a compressor as a facial rinse to help ease the discomfort of your symptoms.

When you are suffering from the uncomfortable symptoms of the skin condition the last thing you want is the addition of itchy, flaky dry skin.

Cornstarch can also soothe raw and itchy skin. Many of us remember the days when it was the treatment of choice to soothe the infant’s bottom during a bout of diaper rash. Use it in combination with the oats for a soothing bath or use it alone. It works especially well it calming an itch and loosening scaly skin.

Avocados can be used topically to relieve skin conditions. Rich in essential oils, they can work as an anti-inflammatory. They are a source of B-complex vitamins that are linked to healthy and vibrant skin. If avocados aren’t part of the normal diet they can still play a large role in the treatment of rosacea.

Niacin (vitamin B-3) and panthothenic acid (vitamin B-5) are plentiful in avocados. Gently apply avocados directly to the irritation to calm the irritation.

Soothing herbal teas can not only calm the nerves, but when applied to the facial irritations then may calm the symptoms of the rosacea irritations. Chamomile has a long history of being used to not only calm the nerves and allowing a person to fall asleep naturally, but as a way to calm the skin as well.
