Rosacea is a fairly common chronic skin disease, in fact, it affects around 10% of people between 20 and 50 years old, in a more or less marked way, according to data from the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine (SEMI). . This pathology can be differentiated from others, such as acne, due to the characteristic redness that occurs in certain parts of the face. This causes itching and is accompanied by inflamed papules. One of the peculiarities of rosacea is that it is unknown what causes it, although certain things are known to make it worse. But there is no cure either, the solution is to control it and improve its symptoms.
In addition to all the physical symptoms that rosacea implies, one of the aspects that has the most impact on people who suffer from it is the aesthetic component. These patients usually see their confidence and self-esteem diminished due to how their face changes. Therefore, many people will want to try makeup. There will be no problem with this as long as you use products without irritating ingredients and follow an appropriate facial care routine, with products for sensitive skin.
People with rosacea can apply makeup on their skin without any problem, however, respecting the dermatologist's instructions and using the appropriate products for these cases. Just as it will be key to always keep brushes or sponges clean. However, there are a series of tips that should be kept in mind to ensure that makeup on rosacea skin looks in the best possible way.
One of the most important aspects that must be taken into account has to do with the preparation of the face, which means that it must be properly hydrated. The products indicated by the dermatologist will make the skin more nourished and softer. Next, do not forget to apply sunscreen, since the influence of the sun's rays worsens the symptoms of this pathology.
Another essential element is the makeup base in question, since it is important that it be pigmented, in a beige tone, in order to counteract redness. It is advisable to apply it with a brush or sponge, tapping it gently. As for the eyes, it is recommended to use products for sensitive skin and opt for discreet makeup in neutral tones.
You will have to be careful with blush, as you want to prevent the redness on your face from standing out even more. Something similar happens with lipstick, since colors that are reddish or similar will only highlight the reddish tones that skin with rosacea already has. When removing makeup, a thorough double cleansing is necessary so that there are no residues that could alter the facial skin.
