BEST MOISTURIZERS FOR ROSACEA

BEST MOISTURIZERS FOR ROSACEA

What ingredients to look for?

I recommend you buy moisturizers containing feverfew, azelaic acid, niacinamide, zinc dioxide, and green tea. The lower skin redness is damaged by the skin rays and soothes it, reversing the blemishes and bumps.

What ingredients to avoid

I highly suggest you avoid moisturizers with the following ingredients; urea, fragrance, lactic acid, alcohol, glycolic acid, camphor, and menthol. These ingredients are likely to increase the skin sensitivity to the sun, dehydration, and irritate, worsening rosacea symptoms.

Avoid exfoliating, scrubbing, or using harsh clothes on the face.

I advise you to see a dermatologist as soon as you notice rosacea symptoms such as red facial skin.

I recommend using rosacea-friendly moisturizers to prevent moisture loss, irritation, itching, skin burning, and common rosacea symptoms.

I suggest you try the moisturizer products such as;

  • Aveeno ultra calming daily moisturizer 100% sunscreen
  • Neutrogena oil-free moisture sensitive skin
