Why is it so important to Cleanse ?

Gentle cleansing is of utmost importance for individuals suffering from rosacea. By performing this task twice daily, one can effectively remove excess oil, dirt, bacteria, and other microorganisms, as well as the remnants of skincare and makeup products. This simple yet effective practice sets the stage for soothing and treating the delicate skin of those with rosacea.

Removing Irritants

Rosacea is a long-lasting skin issue that leads to facial redness, noticeable blood vessels, and occasionally, bumps or pimples. Regular cleansing is essential as it eliminates dirt, oil, and other environmental particles that may irritate the skin and provoke flare-ups.

Maintaining Skin Health

Mild cleansing is essential for preserving a healthy skin barrier, which is frequently weakened in individuals with rosacea. A robust skin barrier shields against irritants and aids in moisture retention.

Twice-Daily Cleansing

Numerous individuals with rosacea may avoid cleansing their skin frequently due to existing irritation. However, using a mild cleanser can effectively eliminate excess oil, bacteria, and environmental pollutants, aiding in the management of flare-ups.

Choosing the Right Cleanser

Selecting the appropriate cleanser is a crucial step in managing this skin condition, as it aids in minimizing dryness and irritation.

Cleansing Techniques

Get The Temperature Right

Use lukewarm water for rinsing - not too hot or too cold. Cold water doesn't effectively remove the daily dirt, and hot water may dry out and irritate your skin. Warm water helps to lift the dirt but preserves your skin's natural hydrating oils.

Rinse Thoroughly

Not rinsing properly may lead to residue build-up which can cause breakouts and skin irritation and reduce the results of your treatment products that follow.

Dry With Caution

Make sure to pat your skin dry gently and avoid rubbing your skin which can cause irritation.

Ideally, a mini face towel that can be used once or twice should be used to dry your face or use facial tissues instead to avoid transferring bacteria.

Your skin is now ready for your serummoisturiser & SPF with these simple steps.
