What is rosacea and what helps against it?

By Maleen L.

💡 Did you know that UV light, alcohol and stress can irritate your skin and trigger rosacea and couperose?

Rosacea is caused by inflammatory processes in the body that cause blood vessels to dilate, particularly in the cheek, nose, and chin area. To combat this, you should give your skin's protective barrier a little extra love with soothing ingredients .

Itching, burning, and redness – the typical symptoms of rosacea. Often, this is caused by a compromised skin barrier and a weak immune system. Today, we'll explain what rosacea actually is and what you can do about it.

🔎 Rosacea Fact Check

🔬 Rosacea and couperose are chronic skin diseases that affect women more.

However, the symptoms can also indicate a compromised skin barrier . If they persist for several weeks or are very uncomfortable, you should, of course, consult a dermatologist .

🔬 What causes rosacea?

The factors you can best influence are a healthy immune system and a strong skin barrier.

 

🧬 The majority of the immune system is located in the gut, the so-called gut microbiome. Prebiotics and probiotics are essential for a healthy gut microbiome because they act like food for the good gut bacteria. You can find these in our Immune Essentials , for example .

😱 How do I strengthen my skin barrier?

The skin's protective barrier acts like a shield for your skin, protecting it from harmful influences and diseases. It consists largely of ceramides and squalane , which are essentially the building blocks of the skin barrier.

Our Hydrating Oil is pure squalane from Spanish olives, making it a truly powerful ingredient for your skin barrier. It's very well tolerated and therefore also suitable for rosacea and couperose .

Niacinamide , also known as vitamin B3 , not only refines the skin's appearance but, according to recent studies, also improves the barrier function, so that your skin can retain moisture better (Fsahaye 2023).

As already mentioned, ceramides are also a direct component of the skin barrier. A study from Copenhagen demonstrated that women's skin contains significantly fewer ceramides than men's (Mutanu Jungersted et al. 2016). This may be one reason why women are more likely to suffer from a compromised skin barrier. The lower the ceramide content of their skin, the more dry skin the test subjects struggled with .

Our Barrier Repair Moisturizer contains ceramides as well as soothing ingredients such as shea butter and probiotics .
