Q How should I handle daily cleansing and skincare for rosacea-prone skin?
A Cleanse gently with lukewarm water, protect your skin barrier with a low-irritation moisturizer, and always apply sunscreen when going out. It's best to avoid products high in alcohol or fragrance, as well as peels and scrubs.
Detailed Answer
Rosacea-prone skin has a weakened barrier and breaks down easily under irritation, so gentle care is key. The basics are cleansing with lukewarm water without rubbing, reinforcing the barrier with a fragrance-free, low-irritation moisturizer, and using sunscreen every day. Products containing alcohol, menthol, or fragrance, as well as frequent exfoliation, can worsen flushing and should be avoided.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Results are greatest when surface skincare and treatment that addresses the interior go hand in hand. Dongjedang lowers the upward-floating heat and builds up the skin's own capacity to recover, while guiding you—one step at a time—through care habits suited to your skin condition that you can realistically maintain.
