Rosacea

Skin care for Rosacea treatment

If you suffer from Rosacea, you know how difficult it can be to get the condition under control. Any skin condition can be problematic for your health, self-esteem and beauty routine. As Rosacea mainly affects the face, for many people it affects their daily wellbeing and confidence.

Here we take a closer look at what rosacea is, how you can manage the condition, and good skincare practices for Rosacea.

What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a skin condition that results in red and blotchy skin, mainly on the face. It can also show exposed blood vessels on the nose and cheeks in severe cases. There are different types of rosacea and some people may suffer from more severe cases than others.

4 stages of Rosacea:

Stage 1: Pre-Rosacea
In this stage, it can manifest as frequent flushing or reddening of the skin on the face. This redness usually does not stay for a long time.

Stage 2: Mild rosacea
When the redness remains for a significantly longer period of time as a result of the small blood vessels remaining open. The skin will look ‘pinkish’ or glowing.

Stage 3: Moderate rosacea
When the redness persists for a long period of time, days at a time. There may also be a semi-permanent red flush on the skin of the nose and cheeks. You may also see small visible blood vessels (capillaries) in areas of redness.

Stage 4: Severe rosacea
When the redness becomes extremely intense and may be combined with inflammation, swelling of the skin, burning or other pain. You may also experience pustules and enlargement of the nose.

Why do you get Rosacea?

Rosacea is a result of a compromised immune system. This occurs due to damage to your digestive tract. As a result, your skin becomes sensitive to certain ingredients and irritants. Alcohol and smoking can also contribute to the inflammation that causes rosacea.

We are focused on treating the whole self so you can heal rosacea from the inside out. Stimulating permanent results and keeping your flare-ups and inflammation under control.

These products for Rosacea can help target the source of inflammation, strengthen the skin barrier and calm the skin:

For treatment from the inside, we recommend RECOVERY OIL taken daily 15ml (1 tablespoon) for 3 months. Then you can switch to the maintenance dose which is 5ml daily (1 teaspoon)

This concentrated Sea Buckthorn Oil will support digestion and help break down food to improve your absorption of nutrients. This helps boost your energy naturally while reducing toxicity for a healthy gut and clear skin.

CALM is our gentle Vitamin A (Retinaldehyde) serum. It contains antioxidants and soothing botanicals to restore your lipid barrier and reduce inflammation, all while promoting your skin’s natural cell renewal process.

RESCUE is ideal for treating rosacea, blemishes and pigmented skin types. It contains an ingredient called trioxolane, a specialized extract of wormwood. This serum has a remarkable ability to neutralize toxins, calm inflammation, activate epidermal wound repair, minimize the appearance of pores, and works drastically to improve your skin’s texture, tone and overall health.

Osmosis skincare products for rosacea contain doctor-developed formulas with botanical ingredients to calm inflamed skin and reduce symptoms.

Daily skincare routine

Step 1: Cleanse skin with Cleanse – Gentle Cleanser morning and evening.

Step 2: Apply Rescue – 1 pump morning and evening.
If your skin is very reactive, it may flare and become warm when you apply Rescue. Simply reduce the amount and apply a tiny amount up to several times a day and slowly build up. This gradually acclimatizes the skin to the serum.

If you use both Rescue and Calm, you can easily mix the 2 serums together in the palm of your hand and apply them.

Step 3: Apply Calm – Gentle Retinal Serum

Calm is our mildest Vitamin A serum that can be used by most people with Rosacea or Sensitive skin. However, if your skin is very reactive, we recommend starting gently. That means half to a full pump in the evening every other day for the first week. Week 2 you go to one pump every evening. If your skin responds well, you can then move on to applying the serum daily, both morning and evening. If your skin responds, it will be slightly red and feel dry.

Step 4: Infuse Activating Mist – Spray 3-5 times directly onto skin after serum application and massage in thoroughly. Can be repeated if desired. WE use an Activating Mist to massage our oil-packed serums into the skin. Infusecan be used at any time during the day to moisturize and promote skin wellness.

Step 5: Moisturizer

A good moisturizer for daytime can be Quench, which is our lightest Moisturizer, for nighttime it might be a good idea to upgrade to a moisturizer with a higher content of Sheabutter, Hydrate

We also recommend weekly use of Tropical Mango Mask, which can be applied after cleansing and left on the skin overnight.

To improve the skin from the inside, we always recommend taking Recovery. This is our organic Sea Buckthorn / Macadamia oil, which with its content of Omega 3,6,7 & 9 provides the body with important fatty acids. The oil has a pre-biotic effect that stabilizes the intestinal system, which will have a beneficial effect on skin condition. The oil is taken daily, 1 tbsp. Can be taken in a ginger shot, with a little juice or in a smoothie. The oil must not be heated.

WE ALWAYS RECOMMEND TREATMENTS BY A PROFESSIONAL PRACTITIONER WITH KNOWLEDGE OF OSMOSIS.
