Having eczema or rosacea means your skin always feels itchy or stinging. These inflammatory conditions are common around the world and can’t be cured completely. But the good part is, you can effectively reduce their symptoms by following these eczema and rosacea skincare tips.
Understanding Eczema and Rosacea
Eczema and rosacea are two chronic, inflammatory skin conditions.
Eczema causes an itchy rash, blistering, scaling, and discolouration that can appear on any part of the skin.
Rosacea, on the other hand, is a chronic skin condition characterised by red flares around the nose and mouth.
Both these skin conditions weaken the skin barrier, leaving it dry and irritated. To calm and repair the skin, you need a strong skincare routine focused on managing inflamed skin.
Tips for Managing Sensitive Skin
Here are some key things to ensure the right skincare for sensitive skin prone to rosacea and eczema.
Reduce the Hot Showers
Hot water strips your skin’s natural oils. Keep your showers short, within 10-15 minutes, using lukewarm water.
Use Gentle Cleanser
Choose cleansers that are free from fragrance and harsh chemicals. Opt for natural, mild ingredients that don’t irritate your skin further.
Moisture Right After Face Wash
Moisturise your face right after washing your face. The FaceYoga® Age-reversing Saffron Serum can be a great moisturiser. Its natural oils are designed to be kind to the skin, helping to keep it soft and supple without feeling greasy.
Sun Protection is the Key
Sun exposure is one of the most common triggers of skin inflammation. Wear a mineral-based sunscreen every day after applying moisturiser.
