Methods for treating rosacea at home
Optimal methods for restoring the epidermis, removing redness, swelling, and additional anti-microbial skin treatment are:

- rubbing, washing with medicinal decoctions;
- manually prepared ointments, masks;
- decoctions of herbs taken internally.
It is worth remembering the basic principles of treatment with the help of home remedies:
- It is important to realize that traditional medicine is only part of complex therapy with rosacea. Home remedies completely cure the disease are not capable, but can greatly alleviate the symptoms and create conditions for further regression of all signs.
- Optimal solution for rosacea - combine medications and ointments with safe recipes of folk medicine. This is especially important for stages 2 - 3 of the disease.
- When using lotions, compresses, masks, always remember that they can only be cool, but not hot and cold. Warm, and even more hot means, applied to the diseased skin, will not cure, but will only intensify all pathological manifestations, actively expanding the already expanded vessels with rosacea. Cold, especially with ice water or ice, will cause the strongest irritation and spasm of blood vessels.
- Recheck recommended recipes. The skin of a particular patient has its own characteristics. The treatment plan should be worked out individually. Grass or a medicinal substance that helps one rosacea patient can harm another.
- To take into account that even the most useful natural substances can cause severe allergic manifestations: to intensify edema, erythema( reddening), to provoke the appearance of new vascular "stars".For example, such substances may be honey, propolis, cranberries. Harmless chamomile can lead to severe irritation with allergies to azulene.
- It is advisable to alternate home remedies to complexly affect the epidermis and not to become addictive.
- If burning, redness, swelling occurs during procedures, immediately discontinue the healing process and wash your face with boiled cold water.
- To protect yourself from an allergic reaction to the skin, before applying masks, lotions should be applied a little product on the wrist. If there are no unpleasant manifestations within 15 to 20 minutes, the remedy can be used.
- After washing, soak the skin with a soft thin towel, removing excess water, and do not wipe the face.
