I had very bad rosacea for many many years. Painful, pustules, the lot. It eventually spread from my checks to my forehead. Then I went on a fodmap (exclusion) diet. I discovered my problem was down to mushrooms - no mushrooms, no rosacea. The moment I eat mushrooms again, back it comes.
Have been through same as you. Soolantra was a game changer for me (took about six weeks) and you def have to pull back on sun, direct sunlight and exercise. Eucerin range for redness really good, no other skin products. Good luck and start building your hat collection 😊
Hi Kristy, I’ve got the script for soolantra but anxious to try as I’ve heard rosacea can get much worse before it gets better, can you share your experience with soolantra please? Thank you ☺️
Hey Mia. Could you please share the details of your glasses chain? I have countless pairs of glasses that I'm always damaging cause put them on my head. TIA
Hi Mia, I’ve suffered from rosacea for years. I find the best routine for me is all Avene products, the mineral water is a game changer, totally calms everything down and is great for double cleansing (just that on a make up pad). For every day makeup I use Cancer Council BB tinted cream, doesn’t cause a reaction and I get heaps of compliments as it looks natural and dewy but not greasy. The hardest thing will be giving up trying fun new products because it feels like you’re missing out not being able to use luxurious skin care. Be cautious of acutane, it works wonders but I lost hair and had other bad side effects that still affect me today! Good luck!
Mia. My rosacea experience. Huge red burning blotches and only sometimes pimples. This was about 2018. I don’t subscribe to the no vitamin c or retinol. I’ve used it over 10 years. It doesn’t make it flare.
But sessions of IPL basically got rid of most and every year I get redness treated with vascular laser.
I think I used to use Biotherm cleanser and mostly dermalogica calming serum.
Flares arise through certain wines and stress
But I get comments about my skin so it’s mostly calm.
I think what triggered mine was the skin needling… had 5 RF Needling and instead of improving and settling my skin it hyper sensitised it and it exploded into rosacea and pustules. My skin barrier was stuffed. After 10ths and much money spent at dermatologist and on special creams - ivermectin creams and tacolimus ointments, avene etc just wouldn’t settle it. I got Covid and had Paxlovid which cleared it. From then on I found that I could settle a flare up with sudocream, and an antihistamine and an antiviral.
The dermatologist still wants to put me on roaccutane ….
I’m now using some cheap and gentle Korean skin care and my skin is slowly getting back to normal.
Make up wise double wear hides all redness and lasts all day.
Love ther dermatologist info. Also love the calexico pants - if dressing it down with a contrasting basic shirt isnt working you could wear something equally bright on top but in a slouchy style like the alemais atlas silk shirt or the elk gold shirt

Loved the makeup video and the rosacea information.

Looking to see what works for you Mia.
Strange because I found IPL and RF NEEDLING made my skin so good people constantly asked what I use.
