Skin care tips for couperose and rosacea

In our first post we explained; rt what rosacea is, how you can recognize this skin disease and distinguish it from couperose, what causes it and what facial care is recommended for rosacea. 

In this second post we give you some important tips tofind the right skin care routine for couperose or rosacea:

  • Avoid comedogenic ingredients
    Watch out for comedogenic ingredients in your cosmetics, because they can clog your pores and make your skin look coarser. These include mineral oils such as paraffins, silicones and petroleum jelly, PEG-based emulsifiers and fatty alcohols. There are also comedogenic ingredients in natural cosmetics, such as lanolin (wool fat), wool wax alcohol, olive oil, coconut oil, wheat germ oil or cocoa butter.
  • Emulsifier-free care
    What is hardly known: The emulsifiers, co-emulsifiers and consistency enhancers commonly used in natural cosmetics, such as glyceryl stearate, isopropyl palmitate, cetearyl alcohol or myristyl Myristate can have a comedogenic effect. They are often derived from palm oil. Conventional emulsifiers also damage your skin by emulsifying with the skin's own fats, loosening the skin barrier and being washed out of the skin barrier the next time you come into contact with water.  Common emulsifiers dry out the skin and promote impurities such as pimples.
  • Less is more
    Make sure your facial care is free of fragrances, preservatives and sulfates. These ingredients have an increased allergenic potential. Alcohol also irritates and irritates sensitive skin.
  • Avoid peelings and products that exfoliate your skin
    Mechanical and chemical peels promote skin irritation, weaken the skin barrier, dry out your skin and worsen the symptoms of rosacea.
  • High sun protection
    Protect your skin from the sun: use sunscreen with a high SPF and wear a hat or sunglasses if necessary.
  • Shower with only lukewarm water
    Avoid extreme temperatures, both cold and hot, to avoid further irritating your skin. If possible, only shower with lukewarm water, because hot baths or visits to the sauna make the redness worse.
  • Soothing and regenerating active ingredients
    To relieve rosacea, use only hypoallergenic face care products with soothing and regenerating ingredients such as aloe vera, green tea, licorice , niacinamide, chamomile, magnolia bark or beta-glucan from oats.

We hope these tips will help you manage your rosacea. Remember that everyone's skin is unique and what works for someone else may not necessarily work for you.

A valuable help that we would like to recommend to you is also a rosacea diary for daily entries. These relate to the condition of your skin, your current symptoms, your diet, weather influences, the skin care you use, possible triggers of a rosacea flare-up and medication you are taking.

Cleansing
For daily facial cleansing in the morning and evening, we recommend the Grape Seed Cleansing Cream, either as a sole facial cleanser or in combination with the mild Deep Cleansing Gel to thoroughly remove waterproof makeup. This emulsifier-free cleansing removes impurities, dirt and light make-up gently and reliably without surfactants. Make sure the water is only lukewarm to gently wash the cleanser off your face.

Toning
After that, wear the Magnolia Toner Sensitive to soothe your skin and provide it with additional moisture. The face toner&nbsp ;prepares the skin for subsequent care. Apply the toner to the face after cleansing but before the serum to allow the moisturizer to penetrate deeply into the tissue.

Moisturize
Supply your skin with lots of deep-acting moisture. The Deep Hydrating Hyaluron Serum 300 promotes the skin's own production of collagen, inhibits inflammation and improves skin elasticity.

Our Niacinamide Serum. The skin-friendly serum with 12% niacinamide promotes skin regeneration. It counteracts impurities and redness. The niacinamide complex strengthens the protective barrier and ensures a more even, smooth complexion with refined pores.

Soothe
The Magnolia Calming Serum based on organic aloe vera gel is usually completely sufficient as light facial care instead of a day cream in summer.

In winter, the active ingredient serum is combined with the Grape seed day cream enriched with it.

In general, rosacea facial care products should not be too greasy. The active ingredient complex of the Magnolia Calming Serum made from green tea and licorice root extract calms and improves the condition of rosacea skin after just a few applications. Cold-pressed grape seed oil strengthens the connective tissue, while beta-glucan from oats strengthens the skin barrier and antioxidant magnolia bark inhibits inflammation.

Protect
For sun protection, we recommend the Protective Sunshine Day Oil M for sensitive combination skin. This purely plant-based sunscreen with SPF 30 (cannot be declared according to the EU Cosmetics Directive) is free from mineral particles. Rather, it is based on cold-pressed karanjaöl, which absorbs harmful UVA and UVB rays. The active ingredient Pongamol acts as a powerful natural UV protection booster.
