Home Care for Rosacea

Follow these simple steps to help reduce your Rosacea Flareups. 

Cleanse only with gentle/soothing facial cleansers. 

Look for ingredients in your facial products that calm & soothe.  Ingredients to look for: oat, honey, zinc, chamomile, aloe, cucumber, calendula, green tea, Licorice Root Extract, MSM.

Avoid these ingredients: Retinal A, AHA's, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, alcohol

Splash face with water(use warm not hot nor cold water), gently massage in  facial cleanser(be sure not to rub, be very gentle). Leave cleanser on face for 2 minutes(so the ingredients can do their job).  Splash water on face to remove all of the cleanser.

Follow with a hydrating gentle toner- mist on a toner to set your ph & to help minimize pores. 

Gently massage a light calming and soothing moisturizer or serum all over your face.

Once a week use a masque that purifies, calms & heals.

Get a professional facial with an Esthetician that can perform a Rosacea specific facial.  The procedure is completely different from any other facial.

Dealing with Hyperpigmention of hands, arms & chest.

These areas of skin on our bodies are often neglected when it comes to daily sunscreen use.  Apply sunscreen to these areas daily to reduce the future occurrence of hyperpigmentation.   Most people think of hyperpigmentation as something that only occurs on the face,  it can appear anywhere where surface trauma to the skin has occurred.  Professional Chemical peels combined with a specified home program will give the best results in reducing this hyperpigmentation.  Because of the thickness of the body skin vs the face, it can handle higher percentages of the active ingredients (AHA's).  The combination of professionally applied treatments with home-use products containing AHA's is the best way to achieve even pigmentation. 

At The Whole Body Fitness Spa we offer a Professional Pumpkin Peel treatment for your face or body, which 12% AHA's. We also carry several home-use products that contain AHA's.  Our professionals will recommend the appropriate products for your skin type.
