Managing Rosacea Flare-Ups and Dry Skin

Starting this year: I now won't go outside without a sun hat and I wear 50+ sunscreen on my face every day. This has actually helped me a lot.

I use eucerin products on my face including their sunscreen, but I think sometimes the night cream can make me break out a bit. I also have been using the e.l.f. sensitive skin face wash with oatmeal and niacin and I like it a lot! Also I use a brand called phat 5.5 rosacea cream. I don't think there is anyway to keep it from flaring up in the sun, I just wear a hat most of the time. I find the less I touch my face the better, and the only exfoliator that doesn't irritate my skin is good molecules pineapple exfoliator.

Sunscreen and moisturizing lotion helps with going outside in the sun, but as someone who also suffers with rosacea, I try to go outside either early morning or dusk. The afternoon sun is the worst for people like us. I don't really have any recommendation on sunscreen, but I use CeraVe foaming face wash and daily moisturizer cream. They make my face feel much better. I'm not currently on any meds for rosacea and I think my redness may be permanent from years of exposure without taking care of it. 🤷‍♂️
