Cosmetics for sensitive skin with rosacea

Cuperosis – a condition in which there is a strong dilation of the superficial vessels on the chin, nose and cheekbones. The problem of rosacea occurs for various reasons. Most often, its appearance is caused by blood supply disorders, liver diseases, congenital fragility of blood vessels, frostbite, and vascular neurosis.

Couperosis occurs against the background of hypersensitive skin and causes a lot of trouble. Care for sensitive skin should be based on an integrated approach. Our article will tell you about its features.

Cosmetics for couperose-prone skin

Skin affected by rosacea requires especially careful treatment. Cosmetics for sensitive facial skin should not contain aggressive substances or abrasives.

Masks for such skin should have special components that help strengthen blood vessels and create an additional protective layer. It’s good if cosmetics for sensitive skin contain the following components:

1. Extract of parsley, green tea, horse chestnut. Such components help strengthen the walls of capillaries. Vitamins C, B5, K, P also help strengthen small blood vessels;
2. Amino acids in cosmetic creams help improve metabolism and deeply moisturize the skin;
3. Linolenic and linoleic acids, which are part of nourishing creams, will prevent moisture loss and maintain the lipid barrier;
4. Sensitive skin with rosacea needs to be intensively moisturized using creams that contain film-forming components;
5. Essential oils (thyme, sage, rosemary, lemon balm) provide an excellent healing effect for sensitive skin. These components are mixed with olive oil and then applied to the skin. This method of combating rosacea is suitable only for those who are not prone to allergic reactions;
6. In summer, for delicate skin, it is better to choose cosmetics that contain protection against UV radiation. Before going to bed, it is recommended to apply a soothing serum to thin skin;
7. Cosmetics for sensitive skin with rosacea should not contain mint oil, alcohol-containing components, eucalyptus, fruit acids, aloe and honey;
8. In case of severe rosacea, you need to purchase special cosmetics, which must be used under the strict supervision of a cosmetologist, adhering to a certain course.

How to choose the right cosmetics for sensitive skin with rosacea?

Delicate facial skin prone to rosacea should never be overloaded with cosmetics. All cosmetics for sensitive skin should be hypoallergenic. Now in many cosmetic stores you can purchase products for sensitive skin with a healing effect. What properties should such cosmetics have?

1. When purchasing a mask for delicate skin, pay attention to such characteristics of the composition as nutritional value and ease of rinsing. You cannot buy film masks and hardening compounds;
2. Peeling. Never buy scrubs with hard particles for delicate skin. They will hurt your face and make your skin even thinner. Give preference to gentle peeling, use products with a light exfoliating effect, and after washing, wipe your face with a soft terry glove.

Brushing leather

In spring and summer, try to protect your skin from harmful sun rays. Ultraviolet radiation is an extremely negative factor that will make delicate skin even thinner and more vulnerable. When going to the beach, be sure to take with you sunscreen for delicate skin with protective components against UV rays.

How to care for delicate skin with rosacea?

Care for thin facial skin should be comprehensive and gentle. For these purposes, it is better to give preference to gentle cosmetic products.

1. Delicate skin should be cleansed using special products that can be purchased at a pharmacy or cosmetic store;
2. Sensitive skin requires good vitaminization, and for this it needs to be regularly wiped with cosmetic milk containing a complex of vitamins C, K, P. In general, for rosacea, these three vitamins can be used not only as part of cosmetics, but also separately from them;
3. After applying the milk, the skin is wiped with a tonic lotion with a moisturizing effect. This product should contain active ingredients such as juniper, cypress, fir, chestnut, vitamins K and C;
4. You can prepare a tonic for skin prone to the appearance of rosacea. To do this, brew 2 tbsp. chamomile flowers (taking half a liter of water). When the broth has cooled, filter it and add two well-crushed tablets of ascorutin. Twice a day, the prepared composition is applied to problem areas where capillaries appearing through the skin are very noticeable;
5. Soaps, gels and alcohol toners should be excluded from your cosmetic bag. If you have delicate skin, you should not use ice cubes (made from herbal decoctions) and water of contrasting temperature as a tonic;
6. Sensitive facial skin requires moisturizing and nourishing procedures. Cosmetic products for such skin should contain substances with a high concentration of active ingredients, and they should be applied to a well-cleaned face. These components include multivitamin complexes (tocopherols, vitamins K and A), moisturizing oils (grape seed oil and mallow extract have a good effect on rosacea).
7. Masks for sensitive skin should be an integral part of your cosmetic bag. Such products should include collagen, then regular use will help prevent the appearance of wrinkles;
8. For rosacea, the use of solid abrasive substances and heating agents is contraindicated. It is better to replace them with white clay masks (they have a mild exfoliating effect and have a beneficial effect on the skin);
9. Apply masks and medicinal compositions to skin prone to rosacea using a soft cosmetic sponge or clean fingertips. Brushes with coarse bristles and hard sponges are not suitable for these purposes, as they can easily injure delicate skin.

Folk remedies for sensitive skin with rosacea

To effectively care for sensitive skin, you can use homemade cosmetic compositions prepared according to folk recipes. Treatment of rosacea on the face will be more effective if it is carried out comprehensively.

That is, medications prescribed by a doctor can be successfully combined with recipes from the folk piggy bank. In all folk recipes, plant-based compositions are used to prepare masks and lotions.

Delicate skin tolerates cosmetics well, which contain licorice root extract and chestnut extract. Seed and chamomile have an excellent anti-inflammatory effect. Caring for sensitive skin involves using a variety of light masks made from natural products.

Masks for sensitive skin will help to effectively moisturize and saturate it with the necessary nutritional components. We invite readers to familiarize themselves with several recipes for such masks.

1. Herbal mask. It is made from a mixture of medicinal herbs. Such a mask must contain components such as horse chestnut flowers, potato starch, yarrow, chamomile, horsetail, and calendula. All of the listed ingredients are mixed and diluted with warm water (to form a thick paste). The herbal composition is applied to gauze and then placed on the face. After 15 minutes, remove the mask with a special tincture made from yarrow or chamomile flowers. To prepare this lotion, take 200 ml. water and 1 spoon of medicinal herb;
2. Fresh berry mask. For its preparation, sea buckthorn, raspberries, strawberries or lingonberries are used. They can be used whole, or juice can be prepared from the fruits by adding a dessert spoon of starch;
3. Healing mask made from raw potato tubers. Potato tubers are peeled and grated. The resulting composition is applied to the face for 15 minutes. To remove the mask, a chamomile decoction or a decoction of calendula flowers is best;
4. Flower pollen mask. Flower pollen (a teaspoon) is ground with the same amount of honey, a few drops of lingonberry, currant and strawberry juice are added (can be replaced with purified water). The mask is applied for 15 minutes, then washed off with infusion of calendula or chamomile. Before using this mask, you need to conduct an allergen test by applying a small amount of the mixture to your wrist;
5. Sometimes with rosacea it is good to make lotions from herbal decoctions. For example, chamomile infusion helps well, as well as decoctions of marigold flowers, yarrow, and horsetail. A mixture of these herbs (1 tablespoon) should be poured with warm water, and then simmered over low heat for 5 minutes. The resulting broth must be cooled and strained. Moisten gauze in the resulting healing composition and apply it to the face as a lotion. Keep the mask on for at least 15 minutes, after which it is recommended to lubricate the face with a medicinal composition of marigolds;
6. For severe rosacea, you need to take marigold, chamomile, and yarrow internally. Sea buckthorn, strawberries, lingonberries, parsley and fruits high in vitamin C also give a good effect.

Treatment of rosacea from the inside

1. The drug ascorutin helps strengthen blood vessels. It must be consumed regularly to obtain a lasting effect;
2. Preparations containing vitamin C and ginkgo biloba extract;
3. Chokeberry helps strengthen capillary vessels;

Features of skin with rosacea

Externally, rosacea manifests itself in the form of a network of blood vessels, which is clearly visible through the skin. And this does not cause the most pleasant emotions. According to statistics, women suffer more often from vascular problems than men. And those with thin, light skin are more susceptible to rosacea. Dark skin is denser and better able to resist negative external influences.

Skin prone to rosacea often has increased sensitivity, which manifests itself in the form of an unpleasant burning sensation.

Couperosis occurs for various reasons. The vascular wall loses its elasticity; under blood pressure, the vessels dilate, but cannot return to their previous state. Remaining expanded, they become noticeable on the face.

Cuperosis can be triggered by:

love of coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening;

taking hormonal pills;

sudden changes in temperature;

stress and even a conversation in a raised voice, during which blood pressure rises.

Composition of care products

When choosing cosmetics for skin care, make sure that it contains ingredients that strengthen the walls of blood vessels.

Remember just three letters: C, K, R. These three vitamins are vital for skin with rosacea.

Vitamin PP reduces capillary fragility.

Vitamin K seals the walls of blood vessels.

Vitamin C stimulates collagen synthesis.

Rutin (rutoside) reduces capillary permeability.

Escin reduces the fragility of capillaries and restores their permeability.

Betulin makes blood vessels more elastic, improves blood flow and reduces swelling.

Panthenol (provitamin B5) heals, stimulates skin renewal, fights inflammation, and nourishes.

Potassium reduces the permeability of blood vessels and increases the density of their walls.

Rules for caring for sensitive skin with rosacea

If you have rosacea, the following is not recommended for care:

cleanse the skin with gels and foams, use aggressive scrubs;

wash your face with too hot or too cold water;

use tonics and other cosmetics containing alcohol;

do mechanical and chemical peeling in the salon;

use creams with fruit acids, menthol, honey and aloe - they sharply stimulate blood circulation, which is dangerous for fragile blood vessels;

do a classic facial massage (for skin with rosacea, only plastic massage is acceptable);

sunbathe a lot (it is better to avoid the sun altogether).

All you need is to regularly care for your face using special products for skin with fragile capillaries. They help protect against negative external influences that make capillaries more fragile. Ingredients that have the property of strengthening blood vessels will also not be superfluous.

Cleansing

You can only wash your face with warm water, and after washing it is better to let the skin dry on its own or pat your face dry with a thin paper napkin.

For intensive cleansing, use gentle scrubs with round synthetic granules. Apply them with your fingertips, not with a brush or sponge.

“Avoid harsh cleansers to avoid drying out your skin. Choose cosmetics designed to care for skin prone to redness. Micellar water for sensitive skin can be a cleansing product. To wash your face, use water at room temperature; hot water causes dilation of blood vessels and stagnation of blood, and cold water causes spasm, which increases their fragility.”

Toning

Since skin with rosacea most often needs special care, the recommendation to use a tonic or lotion becomes even more relevant than in other cases.

Nutrition

You can and should use creams that strengthen the skin and regularly make nourishing and moisturizing masks. The skin with fragile blood vessels is very thin, and facial wrinkles appear on it early.

Hydration

Choose creams with oils, omega-3 and -6 fatty acids to restore the skin's lipid mantle.

Sun protection

Homemade recipes for rosacea care products

Everything you need to know: couperose skin doesn't like experiments. Just take it for granted and don’t test its strength with homemade masks. Still don't believe me? Let us present the arguments.

The shelf life of many handmade products does not exceed 1–2 days. It is irrational to prepare a cream for one-time use, so there is always a temptation to use it longer than is safe for the skin.

Homemade cosmetics should be stored in the refrigerator, and using cold products for rosacea is dangerous.

If the homemade cream has too thick a texture and contains a lot of oils, then the thermoregulation of the skin may be disrupted. This stimulates blood circulation, which is undesirable for rosacea.

If it is vital for you to use homemade cosmetics, do not look on the Internet for recipes for masks against rosacea (they will only worsen the situation). Better focus your efforts on moisturizing - here are a few masks suitable for this.

Precautionary measures

To avoid exacerbation and weakening of the walls of blood vessels, it is worth reviewing your diet and lifestyle.

Avoid spicy and too hot foods and alcohol.

Cosmetologists also do not recommend fatty dairy products (sour cream and cheese), chocolate, pickled vegetables, citrus fruits and legumes.

Forget about the bathhouse and sauna. Any overheating, like hypothermia, aggravates the fragility of blood vessels.

Characteristics in the rating

Cuperosis is a disease associated with weakening of blood vessels and the appearance of spider veins, enlarged veins, and redness on the face. The vessels become less elastic and blood stagnates in them. This causes redness. Favorite places for the disease are the wings of the nose, cheeks, and chin.

If signs of rosacea appear, you need to analyze your lifestyle. Correct it, replenish vitamin deficiencies, monitor nutrition. To improve the appearance of your skin, you should choose the right product for your specific skin type. In case of severe disease, it is necessary to use effective drugs purchased at the pharmacy. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the most popular and popular products in the following selection of the 10 best creams for rosacea on the face.
