1. | Use a mild, unscented cleanser and warm water.
|
|
2. | Wash with your fingertips, not a loofah or washcloth.
|
|
3. | Use an alcohol-free toner or witch hazel or skip it completely if you find it irritates or burns.
|
|
4. | Avoid using strong products with Retin A, AHAs or Glycolic Acid every day. Save them for an intensive care session, once or twice a week.
|
|
5. | If you do use Retin A, Vitamin C or glycolic acid products 1-2x a week, you can buffer them by mixing them with moisturizer. Don't use more than one of these strong treatments at a session. Pre-test on your neck or wrist when in doubt.

|
6. | Use PABA-free sunblock.
|
|
7. | Rosacea patients should avoid spicy foods, caffeine, alcohol, sun exposure, saunas and steam baths.

8. | If redness or irritation persist, see your dermatologist.
