Rosacea Skin Care: Cleansers

It is important for people with rosacea not to wash their face too often. A twice daily cleansing of your skin is recommended to remove oils, makeup and impurities. Cleansing will also provide a cooling effect that can calm your skin and temporarily relieve sensations of burning and itching. Selecting a gentle, mild skin cleanser that does not contain irritating ingredients, such as fragrances and preservatives, is essential.

Use of any washing aid such as a sponge, brush or wash cloth, especially those with a rough surface, can further aggravate your skin. Let your skin dry before applying either a moisturizer or medication. For examples of mild cleansers go to Mild Cleansers.

Mild Cleansers
Different gentle skin cleansers are available for rosacea. There are several types of mild cleansers that you may use, if your skin is irritated or aggravated.

Skin Cleansers For Different Skin Types
Oily skin: The selection of cleansers for oily skin should involve using products that rinse off well. Both bar soaps and liquid cleansers have been formulated for this purpose.
