Rosacea is a common skin condition that can cause redness, inflammation, and other symptoms. While there is no cure for rosacea, there are many natural treatments that can help reduce its visibility. In this blog post, we will discuss some of the best ways to treat this skin disorder naturally. We will also provide some tips on how to prevent flare-ups/rosacea symptoms. If you suffer from rosacea, be sure to give these natural remedies a try!
Treat Rosacea Naturally
Topical Treatments Like Aloe Vera
One of the best ways to reduce the visibility of rosacea is to use a natural, anti-inflammatory topical remedy. The aloe vera plant is one such popular natural remedy. You can apply aloe vera gel to the affected areas of your skin up to three times per day. Beauty By Earth also has a handy aloe after-sun spray that can double as a cooling toner.
Another option is to make a compress with chamomile tea bags, which also have anti inflammatory properties. Simply steep two chamomile tea bags in hot water for five minutes, then remove and allow them to cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to touch, apply them to the affected areas of your skin for fifteen minutes. This can be especially helpful for ocular rosacea sufferers.
By the same token, green tea is also a great natural remedy for rosacea. Green tea contains antioxidants that can help to reduce inflammation and redness. Simply apply cooled green tea bags to the affected areas of your skin for fifteen minutes. Do this once or twice per day for best results.
Finally, coconut oil is another excellent topical treatment for rosacea patients. Just apply a small amount of coconut oil to the affected areas of your skin two to three times per day. You should start to see results within a few weeks.
Prevent Rosacea Symptoms By Avoiding Triggers
In addition to using topical treatments, you can also take steps to prevent facial redness by avoiding triggers. Common triggers include sun exposure, wind, hot weather, spicy foods, alcohol, and strenuous exercise. If you know what in particular can exacerbate rosacea, try to avoid them as much as possible.
Natural Products That Can Help With Rosacea Treatment
You should also make sure to use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer that are designed for sensitive skin. Be sure to avoid products that contain harsh chemicals or fragrances, as these can trigger a flare-up and lead to more facial redness, patchy skin, and other skin reactions. Better yet, look for facial cleansers with ingredients that have anti inflammatory properties! (Like our peppermint tea tree oil foaming face wash, for instance. 😉)
Diet Can Be One of The Natural Remedies for Rosacea Flare-Ups
In addition to topical treatments, there are also dietary changes that can help reduce the visibility of rosacea. Avoiding triggers like spicy food, caffeine, and alcohol can help prevent inflamed skin cells. Reduce inflammation by eating plenty of anti-inflammatory foods like salmon, berries, and leafy greens.
You should also make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Skin condition can often be aggravated by dehydration, so it’s important to keep yourself well-hydrated.
If you suffer from rosacea symptoms, following these natural treatment tips can help reduce its visibility and prevent a rosacea flare-up.
With everything though, be sure to talk to your doctor about any concerns you have. They can help you create a treatment plan and find medical treatments that are right for you.
