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.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
