Rosacea Treatment

Suggestions on Treating Rosacea Yourself

A large part of rosacea treatment is self-care, which includes:
 
  • Keeping a written record of when flare-ups occur. This can give you clues about what bothers your skin.
  • Using a sunscreen every day that protects against UVA and UVB rays. Make sure that it has a sun-protecting factor (SPF) of 15 or higher.
  • Using a mild moisturizer, if it helps, and don't put irritating products on the face.
  • Practicing good skin care (see Rosacea Skin Care).
  • Some people find that green-tinted makeup effectively conceals skin redness. If your eyes have problems, follow your doctor's treatment plan and clean your eyelids as told.
