The holistic approach to soothing rosacea and reducing redness relies on a simple routine that includes natural skin care, a nourishing diet, gentle stress management and getting enough deep, restorative sleep. The skin is the body’s largest organ, and it’s one of the sites where we can see disruption in the body’s systems first, so from a holistic perspective, soothing the whole body-mind system can support treatment of rosacea.
What we eat also plays an important role in treating rosacea. Generally speaking, foods that contain sugar or caffeine, or processed foods, can increase inflammation and spark a rosacea flare. Trying a simple diet that includes more raw organic vegetables and fruits is a great way to calm the system, especially when we include those that are high in essential fatty acids, like Avocado or lovely Coconut. At the same time, incorporating anti-inflammatory ingredients like organic turmeric root into your meals can provide great support. Stress and lack of sleep also disturb the skin. It can take a mindful commitment to make lifestyle changes to establish healthy sleep habits and find ways to reduce stress.
Tammy’s treatment protocol for rosacea incorporates formulas blended with highly soothing botanical remedies. These include Chamomile, an ancient and highly effective skin soother, as well as Milk Thistle and Mountain Arnica, all known to reduce redness and inflammation.
Begin by cleansing gently with creamy Cleansing Milk. Follow with Roman Chamomile Tonic, our most calming floral tonic. Tammy’s treatment serum Plant Milk Serum, blended with some of the most soothing botanical ingredients, helps reduce redness and de-stress the skin. Cocoon the skin with an application of Celestial Rose Crème, blended with pure essence of Rose and calming Manuka Honey.
For those with sensitive skin and those experiencing rosacea, it’s important to avoid contact with irritants and products containing synthetic ingredients. At the same time, over-treating the skin can also cause agitation. Rosacea benefits from consistent holistic care and a less-is-more approach. Using too many products too often without giving the skin downtime to breathe can leave it constantly overwhelmed. Examine any self-care products you use currently with a critical eye, while considering whether a two week break from any that use non-natural ingredients would be possible, including makeup.
With a gentle circular motion, apply a small amount of cleanser to face and neck, morning and evening, whisking away impurities. Remove with a warm moist cloth. Repeat if removing makeup, and follow with your favorite floral water.
Liberally apply the floral water or tonic best suited to your skin type to a cotton pad and sweep over face and neck, morning and evening, or as needed to restore, re-hydrate and soothe the skin. Each of our tonics maintain skin’s precious ph balance.
With the fingertips, gently press ultra-concentrated treatment serums into the skin, providing essential nutrients and added protection to the skin. Use morning and evening or as needed, refreshing the skin with a luminous sheen.
Apply a desired amount to face and neck, allowing cream to absorb. May be used morning and evening, or as often as needed to nourish and protect skin, sealing in hydration with a protective veil. If you wear makeup or sunscreen, layer these over your moisturizer.
Exfoliants and treatment masks can be used up to 3 times weekly, in combination, or alone, to support deep cleansing and restoration, while revealing a fresh, polished complexion.
