Korean Beauty For Rosacea
If You Suffer From Rosacea, You’ll Know The Ongoing Battle To Find Skincare Products That Won’t Irritate Your Skin. It Can Be Even Harder Trying To Find Products That Will Soothe And Calm The Skin
Today, we’re exploring Korean beauty for rosacea, including the best K-Beauty ingredients that work well for soothing skin
Rosacea (pronounced “roh-ZAY-sha”) is a chronic disorder characterised by flare-ups on the skin (often of the face). Rosacea typically begins after age 30 and presents as a redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead that may come and go.
As rosacea is often highly personal, the beauty products that work for one person with rosacea may not work for another. The key is to minimise the amount of different skincare products you use on your skin. Make sure you test out any new products before applying them to your face.
It is a good idea to “patch test” new products so that you can see if you have a reaction to it before applying it all over your face. To patch test, simply use a small amount of product on your neck. If you have any adverse reaction to it, stop using it. Instead, make a note of the ingredients in the product to help you isolate any ingredients that trigger flare-ups.
When applying your skincare products, use the least amount of friction possible. Avoid using cotton pads and instead spray or gently tap products onto the face.
Opt for ingredients that have soothing, moisturising and skin softening properties.
Ideal Korean Beauty ingredients include green tea, snail mucin, aloe, bamboo, honey/royal jelly/propolis and Centella asiatica.
