Caring for Rosacea

When caring for Rosacea, it is important to have a balance of both active and reparative ingredients in the treatment room and in your clients home care regimen.  

Approximately 415 million people in the world are affected by one of the four subtypes of Rosacea. This condition’s cause is unclear, but there are several contributing factors associated with it. Rosacea affects both men and women, and although women are more likely to get Rosacea, men tend to have more severe cases. Four Subtypes of Rosacea:

• Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea (Subtype One)

• Papulopustular Rosacea (Subtype Two)

• Phymatous Rosacea (Subtype Three)

• Ocular Rosacea (Subtype Four)

Clients can help to reduce the visible symptoms of Rosacea by limiting any triggers associated with Rosacea flare-ups. Common Triggers for Rosacea Flare-ups:

• Hot Drinks & Alcoholic Drinks

• Spicy Foods

• Exposure to Heat

• Exercise

• Hot Baths & Showers

• Caffeine

• Stress

As Estheticians, we can care for this condition by recommending proper home care and providing treatments designed to manage the symptoms of Rosacea. It is beneficial to use products that help repair a compromised skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and strengthen capillary walls. Rosacea clients also tend to have significantly more Demodex Mites on their skin. These mites feed on sebum and dead skin cells, so it is imperative to reduce their food source by removing any dead skin cell build-up. It is essential when caring for the skin to have a balance of both active and reparative ingredients. Here are a few excellent products to choose from when caring for Rosacea. Cleansers:
