Rosacea Self Care

The chronic, relapsing nature of rosacea makes it a particularly vexing disorder to keep under control. Flare-ups, seemingly unpredictable, can be stressful. By observing certain lifestyle modifications, you may be able to ensure long-term success in managing your rosacea symptoms.

10 Face Savers

To control rosacea outbreaks or reduce their severity, try the following suggestions:

  1. Clean your face gently no more than twice a day with Cetaphil cleanser or the medicated cleanser prescribed by Dr. Minars
  2. Avoid hot showers, baths or saunas.
  3. Stay cool on hot or humid days (air conditioning and sip ice water).
  4. Avoid the sun.
  5. Switch from blades to an electric razor.
