- Wash your face twice a day with gentle cleansers or soaps. After washing, pat your skin dry with a soft towel.
- Avoid using fragranced products and abrasive materials on your skin.
- Use only skin products that are approved for rosacea skin (your doctor can guide you on the use).
- Avoid using water that is too hot or too cold when you bathe or wash your face.
- Avoid personal rosacea triggers such as sun exposure, emotional stress, extremes in temperature, wind, humidity, heavy exercise, red wine and other alcohol, hot baths, coffee, and spicy foods.
- Use rosacea medications and topical therapies as prescribed by your doctor.
Always wear sunblock, and know your personal rosacea triggers so you can avoid them. Gravitate toward using anti-redness cleanser and a moisturizer that contains anti-inflammatory ingredients such as allantoin, aloe, or chamomile. Anyone with moderate to severe rosacea should see a dermatologist, who can get this chronic situation under control with medications.
