This common condition can often result in redness, flushing, pustules, dilated blood vessels and flare-ups that can be totally unpredictable.

According to many dermatologists, moisturizer is a key for preventing the burning, stinging, itching and irritation often associated with rosacea, as well as building a strong moisture barrier to help keep out impurities and irritants that may aggravate sensitive skin. In addition, rosacea usually appears after age 30, when facial skin naturally tends to become drier, and it has been estimated that approximately half of all rosacea sufferers experience dry skin. Winter or dry weather may especially pose difficulties for individuals with rosacea as dry air — both outdoors as well as in buildings that are warmed with a dry heat — intensifies the challenge to already-sensitive skin. Facial moisturizers have now been developed specifically for signs and symptoms experienced by many people with rosacea. They are specially formulated with ingredients intended to calm and soothe facial skin and to help prevent redness from irritation, and may also contain sheer green color neutralizers to correct the appearance of redness.
Let's talk about rosacea. If you suffer from this common skin condition, you know the struggle: persistent redness, flushed cheeks, visible blood vessels, and, in some cases, acne-resembling pustules. And while you may find yourself pink in the face after exercising or eating something spicy, there's another culprit that may be triggering your rosacea—we're talking about your moisturizer. While people with rosacea must moisturize regularly to keep their skin happy and hydrated, the wrong one can make the condition a whole lot worse. Thankfully, there are derm-tested formulas out there that can help soothe rosacea and improve the look and feel of your skin.
