What I use:
Green Tea Detox Mask, because of its minimal and simple ingredients, all of which are beneficial for rosacea prone skin. An added benefit is that it is Cruelty-Free, Vegan, made with Organic ingredients and hand made in small batches.
La Roche Posay Purifying foaming cleanser
Ingredients:
Ceramide and Nicinamide help soothe and restore the skins natural barrier.
What I like about it:
I have oily skin, so this foaming formulation helps remove excess oil, dirt and buildup without stripping my skin. There is also a cream formulation for those who have drier skin.
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser
Ingredients: Squalane has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce redness and swelling.
Why I chose: It’s the most gentle and effective way I’ve found to remove makeup. I use this as a precleanser or occasionally as my only cleanser if I haven’t worn sunscreen or makeup.
You can watch my highlight review of it here.
CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion
Ingredients: ceramides and hyaluronic acid help repair skin’s natural barrier and retain moisture. It also has Niacinamide which combats inflammation.
Why I chose: It’s lightweight enough that it doesn’t aggravate my acne and moisturizing enough that it keeps my rosacea from flaking.
Make-Up
EcoTools Perfecting Blender Duo
Great eco-friendly and effective way to apply foundation and concealer. When used in a dabbing motion it helps reduce the appearance of dry flaky skin.
IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Color Correcting Full Coverage Cream
Again, another one of my makeup staples. This formula is lightweight, covers great, and stays on all day. The ingredients are like skincare too so it doesn’t irritate my rosacea as much as other foundations I’ve tried.
IT Cosmetics Celebration Foundation
You’re probably noticing that I’m an IT Cosmetics fan girl by now. I’m not sponsored by them at all. Their products really are that great. I think it’s because the founder of the company has rosacea too! This foundation powder is nice during the summer when my skin isn’t super dry and I just need something to throw on really quick.
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Neutralizing Correcting Cream
This has been a ride or die staple of my makeup routine for nearly four years. It has colloidal oatmeal which hydrates those pesky flakes and also somehow soothes my rosacea.
Lifestyle
Inspire Me Bracelets
Why I chose: The power of words can change your life. On days when I don’t want to leave my house or show my face, I use my “Positive Mind - Positive Vibes - Positive Life” bracelet to remind me that I am more than my skin and not let the negative aspects of rosacea keep me from living my life to the fullest.
