Rosacea: how to cleanse the face gently

Rosacea can be kept under control with medical treatments capable of acting on several fronts. The disorder, however, can also benefit from cosmetic products specially formulated for sensitive and delicate skin, capable of alleviating the symptoms of rosacea.

First of all, it is important to pay great attention to cleansing : it is preferable to use mixtures of low aggressive surfactants, avoiding soaps and lotions that can be irritating. Alternatively, it is possible to use oil formulations capable of cleansing and simultaneously performing a soothing and restorative action. Rinsing-free detergents, exfoliating masks and alcoholic tonics, on the other hand, should not be used, as they can be sensitizing.

Furthermore, in the case of rosacea skin, it is advisable not to wash with excessively hot water and avoid rubbing the skin with the towel to dry it. After this operation, it is a good habit to apply creams or soothing, moisturizing and nourishing fluids able to restore the skin barrier and help reduce irritation .
