HEALTHY SKIN, DAY AFTER DAY
Rosacea does not make it easy for those affected: There are a variety of factors that trigger flare-ups and impair well-being. To keep the risk of a rosacea outbreak on your skin as low as possible in the morning, you can follow the Doctor Mi! morning routine for rosacea: It not only provides you with practical instructions and specific application tips for the intended products but also offers additional tips and recommendations on how to give your skin a perfect start to the day.
THAT'S WHY THE RIGHT MORNING ROUTINE IS ESSENTIAL FOR ROSACEA
Skin that suffers from rosacea is very sensitive. It is all the more important to ensure in the morning that you expose it to as little stress as possible and protect it as best as you can. Before you start with your actual morning skincare routine, it is advisable to follow the tips below.
Make sure to get enough sleep and rest.
Stress can be a significant factor in a rosacea flare-up. Ensuring that you give your body enough sleep and relaxation is important not only so that you have enough energy for the day but also so that your skin does not suffer unnecessary damage.
Take enough time in the morning.
By taking enough time for your skincare in the morning, you avoid the predicament of being under time pressure and exposing your skin to stress right at the start of the day.
Basically, use lukewarm water and avoid rapid temperature changes.
Sudden temperature changes are also known to trigger rosacea in some affected individuals. By making sure not to use either hot or cold water when washing your face and hands as well as when showering, you avoid the risk of temperature-related redness and swelling.
Use only pH skin-neutral skincare products.
What applies to your facial care also applies to your body care: By using only pH skin-neutral care products, you avoid the risk of exposing your skin to unnecessary irritation. Human skin has a pH value of 5.5. Ordinary soap, on the other hand, has a pH value of about 7 to 9, which is too high in direct comparison, irritates the skin, and strips it of moisture. This is especially bad for very dry areas of skin. To best protect sensitive skin, a pH skin-neutral shower gel is also ideally suited for use in the shower.
Tip: All products of Doctor Mi! medical skincare are pH-neutral and very well tolerated, even on sensitive and rosacea-affected skin.
Completely avoid oils and artificial fragrances in your skincare routine.
Both oils and artificial fragrances are known to harm the extremely sensitive and inflamed rosacea skin. Besides these ingredients, you should also definitely avoid blood circulation-promoting substances such as eucalyptus, rosemary, or menthol, as they cause unnecessary irritation.
Use massage techniques to reduce swelling.
Although there is no cure-all for rosacea, certain rosacea massage techniques help reduce swelling in the face. By applying these in the morning, you actively help your skin regenerate.
INSTRUCTION: THE Doctor Mi! MORNING ROUTINE FOR ROSACEA
In the morning, you optimally care for your skin with rosacea in just four simple steps, preparing it as best as possible for the upcoming day. Simply use the products from the Doctor Mi!-ROSAZEA SET and other products, like PEEL, for your optimal care.
CLEAN
In the morning, apply a small amount of the gentle yet thorough cleansing gel CLEAN to your entire face. Massage it into your skin with wet hands and circular motions for 2–3 minutes. This removes secreted toxins, sweat, and sebum that have accumulated on your skin overnight. Then rinse your face with lukewarm water and pat it dry with a clean towel.
PEEL
After your cleansing, apply a small amount of PEEL to your dry, cleansed skin. Massage PEEL in with damp fingertips for 2–3 minutes as well. This ensures that you reliably remove excess skin flakes, which especially peel off starting from stage I of rosacea. Then rinse your skin thoroughly with lukewarm water. By the way, there is no need to worry: PEEL is exceptionally gentle, so it is suitable for daily use even on skin affected by rosacea.
TONE
Next, spray the mild facial toner from Doctor Mi! medical skincare, TONE, 2–3 times onto a clean cotton pad. Gently apply it to your face as well as your neck and décolleté. Avoid contact with your mucous membranes and also skip the eye area. Thanks to a high content of AHA fruit acids, it reliably removes the last skin flakes from your skin's surface and helps your skin to optimally retain its moisture.
DAY
DAY is a very gentle yet highly effective day care that helps your skin to renew itself even during the day and to retain its natural moisture. Spread a small amount evenly over your face as well as on your neck and décolleté. Massage DAY in until the care is fully absorbed.
Important: After using your Doctor Mi! care, apply SPF 50+ daily and all year round, regardless of the weather! This way, you protect your skin from harmful UV radiation, which can trigger rosacea flare-ups in your skin.
By the way: If you use a makeup that claims to provide sun protection, you should still apply SPF 50+ beforehand. This is because the sun protection contained in makeup is usually dosed far too low to reliably protect your skin from damage caused by UV radiation.
By the way: The before-and-after comparisons of our test subjects show you how effective the products of Doctor Mi! medical skincare are and what results you can achieve with rosacea in just a few weeks!
FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUR MORNING ROUTINE WITH ROSACEA
As soon as you have completed your facial care routine, your skin is optimally prepared to face the challenges of the day. To make it even easier for your skin, you will find a few more tips below to help you and your skin get through the day in the best possible way.
Drink enough water in the morning.
Throughout the entire day, you should consume about 1.5 to 2 liters of water, and even more during physical activity. To achieve this, it's best to start right in the morning. But keep in mind: excessive water intake does not provide any additional benefits for your skin. So it's best to simply ensure that your body stays adequately hydrated.
Caution with coffee and tea.
Skin affected by rosacea can be very sensitive to hot drinks. Therefore, it is very important that you do not consume hot coffee or tea, but rather wait until your drink is lukewarm. Additionally, for example, green tea is not necessarily suitable for you: although it is praised for its high antioxidant content, it also contains a high amount of histamines, which can cause your skin to react with a fresh flare-up in rosacea.
Avoid histamines.
Histamine (a special form of proteins) are not only found in green tea; there are quite a few different foods that are rather unsuitable for consumption if you have rosacea. For example, this also includes dairy products, various fruits and vegetables, spices, and meat. To avoid exposing your skin to any risk in the morning, you should make sure to consume a low-histamine diet.
Also avoid sugar.
Sugar harms the skin by causing it to age prematurely. To prevent this from happening to you and to avoid risking a rosacea flare-up, you should reduce your intake of sugar (which also includes carbohydrates). Try to prepare a breakfast that mainly consists of fats and proteins that are compatible with your skin.
FAQ: FREQUENT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MORNING ROUTINE FOR ROSACEA
There are some questions about the proper morning routine for rosacea. You can find answers to the most frequently asked ones here.
-
Can I actually use the DAY day care with TECMi!® Retinol for rosacea?
Yes, you can use the Doctor Mi! day care DAY without any concerns for rosacea. Because it does not contain ordinary retinol. The so-called TECMi!®-Retinol is a specially encapsulated form of retinol, developed specifically by Dr. Miriam Rehbein, dermatologist and founder of Doctor Mi! medical skincare. In this process, the retinol is enclosed by two capsules that make it particularly transportable, so it does not adhere to the skin surface but penetrates deeply into the skin and unfolds its nourishing and cell-renewing potentials there. These help you effectively improve your skin appearance with proper use, without any risk of skin deterioration.
-
Is the morning routine for rosacea also suitable for skin suffering from couperose?
Yes, you can also use the Doctor Mi! morning routine for rosacea if you suffer from couperose.
-
Can I also use the morning routine for rosacea in the evening?
If you want to optimally prepare your skin for the night in the evening, you should rather use the evening routine for rosacea: This involves targeted active ingredients and product formulations that are tailored to the needs of your skin in the evening.
-
Are there also remedies that I can use during an acute rosacea flare-up to reduce redness?
There is a cream with the active ingredient bimonidine that reduces redness for up to 12 hours. Therefore, it is usually suitable for use before special events. However, it is prescription-only, and the redness returns as soon as the 12 hours have passed.
