Causes of Rosacea
Before we go into the tips on how to get rid of rosacea naturally, letโs learn more about what rosacea is, and why it might occur. Rosacea is a skin condition which typically manifests itself as facial redness, usually in the cheeks and areas around the nose, visible blood vessels, and small red pustules. While there are a number of causes thought to lead to it, rosacea is mainly attributed to the inability of our blood vessels to contract fully after their constant expansion and contraction, which can be due to hormonal imbalances, changes in temperature, or a weakened skin barrier.How to get rid of rosacea naturally
Although the exact root of rosacea is still unknown, here are some things you can do to make sure you arenโt unexpectedly triggering your rosacea.1. Eat foods that prevent flushing
Ever heard the myth that eating a lot of chocolate leads to acne? While we know itโs false, itโs true to an extent in that certain foods have different effects on the body. Here are three foods that are great when it comes to how to get rid of rosacea naturally.- Mulberry leaf: Look for cold-natured foods like mulberry leaf. They come dried, or in the form of a power, which you can mix with water to enjoy as a tea. Make sure to stay away from foods that are hot-natured, which can raise the skinโs temperature, and therefore induce redness.- Beans: Because theyโre rich in isoflavone, a plant hormone that resembles human estrogen, they are great in combatting hormone induced rosacea.- Oranges: While known to be rich in vitamin C, oranges are also rich in vitamin P, which functions to strengthen the skinโs capillaries. This allows them to be less sensitive to irritants, and give them the energy to properly and fully contract.2. Cleanse with cold water.
A lot of us shy away from washing the face with cold water because of how uncomfortable it feels. However, for those with rosacea, cleansing with cold water can be a great way to alleviate redness from rosacea by causing the skinโs blood vessels to contract. Even holding cold water in the mouth for a few seconds can help to lower the temperature of the blood vessels that run along the throat, lessening redness in the face and neck. When youโre worried about redness, opt for some ice water, or a cool splash of water to the face.3. Lower the skinโs temperature
If you havenโt noticed from the previous two steps, keeping the bodyโs temperature low is a crucial part in fighting rosacea. If you feel your body or face heating up, invest in taking a cool shower or even dunking your feet or lower body in cool water. You can also lower the temperature of your skin through cooling skincare products.- Our recommendation: [KLAIRS] Rich Moist Soothing SerumLook for products that have cooling properties, while also fully hydrating the skin. If you can lower the skinโs temperature by even one degree, youโre doing your skin a favor by allowing the workings of the skin go back to normal.
4. Care for the skin with sheet masks
Sheet masks are a gift from the skincare gods. They have a number of functions, depending on their formula, and all work while youโre taking a 15 to 20 minute break from the world. As a whole, they work to care for and maintain the skinโs temperature, while hydrating and soothing. Look for sheet masks that are free of harsh substances like artificial fragrances, alcohol and harmful fillers.- Our recommendation: [KLAIRS] Midnight Blue Calming Sheet MaskPrevent rosacea from acting up by paying attention to the actual sheet the sheet mask has. Because theyโre going to be directly on your face for minutes at a time, this is a great option because it has a bamboo and charcoal infused sheet, while the essence itself contains soothing and cooling agents, as well as ceramide to strengthen the skinโs barrier.
