Which Cleanser Should I Use for Rosacea?

Rosacea is a common skin condition that affects many people. The exact cause of rosacea is unknown but it is thought to be due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Rosacea typically manifests as redness, flushing, and bumps on the face.

There is no quick cure for rosacea, but there are treatments that can help to manage the symptoms. Good natural skincare products can be a part of this and includes using kind natural cleansers, treatments and creams, that will help to calm the inflammation. One type of skincare product that we recommend to most people with rosacea is using a good natural oil-based cleanser like our Nakin Advanced Cleansing Milk. It is an effective cleanser that also contains lots of skin boosting and calming ingredients including glycerin, grape seed oil, sunflower seed oil, hyaluronic acid, pomegranate and seaweed extract. The oils help to loosen and clear away daily facial grime, including SPF and oil, plus the other ingredients hydrate and condition the face and neck. The natural ingredients help skin to flourish with the nutrient rich omega formula.

There are so many cleansers to choose from that it can be confusing as to which one is best. Everyone has such unique skin and so there is no one size fits oil. If you have rosacea, then we always recommend choosing a cleanser that is kind and natural. Oil-based cleansers are generally the best type of product to remove excess oil and dirt from the skin, while also helping to moisturise and protect the skin. You can still use other cleansing product like face washes and toners but try them out with caution.

At Nakin we have a full range of cleansers that are suitable for sensitive skin. Lots of people like to use a foaming cleanser and we have our Nakin Rejuvenating Face Wash. It is a kind face wash and suitable for sensitive skin, but the Advanced Cleansing Milk is more nourishing and repairing for the skin barrier, as it contains healing plant oils. We generally recommend the cleansing milk over the face wash for rosacea. Some dermatologists also suggest that gentle exfoliation with AHA’s like those in our Nakin Exfoliating Radiance Tonic is beneficial for rosacea, and we also have our Nakin Purifying Face Toner. Our cleansers are all kind to skin and packed with skin conditioning ingredients. Our other skin treatments and creams are also suitable for rosacea and the full range can be found here. We also recommend always using high protection sunscreen.

We hope that you found our feature helpful in deciding which cleanser to use if you have rosacea. It is important to choose a cleanser that is specifically designed for sensitive skin like Nakin’s range. You should also avoid cleansers that contain harsh chemicals or fragrances, as these can aggravate the condition. Oil-based cleansers can be a particularly helpful part of a rosacea treatment plan, and they may help to improve your symptoms.

Some people with rosacea find that gentle, non-foaming cleansers work well for their skin. Products like natural cleansing milks remove makeup and impurities without stripping away natural oils. It means that skin is cleansed at the same time as being moisturised and strengthened. Whichever cleanser that you choose it is always a good idea to discuss your rosacea with a healthcare professional.
