Key Takeaways

  • Takeaway1

    Use lukewarm water, fragrance-free products, and calming serums daily.

  • Takeaway2

    Identify triggers like alcohol, caffeine, stress, or certain skincare ingredients.

  • Takeaway3

    Ritual facials, LED therapy, and topical azelaic acid soothe flare-ups.

  • Takeaway4

    Prioritize gut health, hydration, and stress-relief practices for lasting change.

  • Takeaway5

    Partner with a nurse and dermatologist when medication or compounded topicals are needed.

Daily Calm Protocol

Cleanse with a gentle gel, pat on mineral-rich mist, apply azelaic acid or niacinamide serum, and finish with barrier cream plus SPF. At night, cleanse, apply a calming serum, and seal with ceramide-rich moisturizer. Always pat, never rub, and keep skin care cool to the touch.

Professional Allies

Our rosacea-friendly Ritual facials include lymphatic drainage, cold globes, and LED therapy. We can collaborate with your dermatologist for prescription support. Renewal microneedling is introduced cautiously once flare-ups are controlled to rebuild collagen and strengthen capillaries.

Lifestyle Shifts That Make a Difference

Drink mineral water, limit alcohol and spicy food during flare windows, and manage stress through breathwork or prayer. Keep a trigger diary so we can adjust care together. Calgary’s chinooks demand extra hydration and humidifiers at home to keep skin stable.
