In addition to the right morning routine for rosacea, the right evening routine is also crucial to properly care for your rosacea skin. Here, too, it is important to consciously avoid possible triggers of rosacea flare-ups and strengthen your skin from deep down.

EVENING ROUTINE FOR ROSACEA: ESSENTIAL FOR A HEALTHY COMPLEXION

Evening routines are fundamentally important for the skin, as it renews itself while you sleep. To provide the best possible support for skin affected by rosacea in particular, you can use targeted active ingredients and dosages to help keep your skin in balance and prevent unnecessary irritation. You should consider the following tips before you start implementing your evening routine for rosacea.

DON'T GO TO BED TOO LATE

In order for your skin to recover properly, you should give it enough sleep and rest, especially if you have rosacea. Between 7 and 8 hours is ideal to give it enough time to regenerate.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE

Never use hot or cold water. Instead, make sure that the water you use for your evening routine is lukewarm. This will actively prevent redness and swelling caused by temperatures that are too high or too low. You should also avoid abrupt temperature changes, for example in the form of alternating showers, as well as hot baths or steam baths.

NO TO OILS & ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCES

Artificial fragrances and greasy skin care products are not suitable for rosacea. You should therefore avoid using them at all costs. Important: Also bear this in mind when choosing your hair care products: This is because the substances are easily transferred from your hair to your face.

AVOID INGREDIENTS THAT STIMULATE BLOOD CIRCULATION

Menthol, rosemary, eucalyptus and many more: substances that stimulate circulation are harmful to rosacea. Your skin is already very sensitive due to the inflamed skin cells and dilated blood vessels, which become noticeable with redness and protruding veins. Substances that promote blood circulation only encourage this condition.

Tip: When choosing scented candles or room fragrances, make sure that they do not contain any such substances. Very sensitive skin and skin suffering from rosacea can also react to these.

USE TARGETED MASSAGE TECHNIQUES

If your skin is swollen, you can consciously and specifically use rosacea massage techniques to treat this swelling. This can achieve very good results in the long term.

USE pH-NEUTRAL SKIN CARE

To prevent your irritated skin from experiencing additional irritation, you should only use pH-neutral skin care products. Ordinary soaps, for example, have a pH value that is too high and significantly exceeds that of the skin. Such use results in additional irritation of the reddened and swollen rosacea skin and removes additional moisture from dry areas of the face, for example.

Good to know: Doctor Mi! medical skincare only produces pH-neutral skincare products that have excellent skin tolerance, even for rosacea or couperose.

PAY ATTENTION TO A CONSISTENT SKINCARE ROUTINE

To keep rosacea flare-ups under control, you should care for your skin regularly and remain disciplined. Otherwise, your skin can quickly deteriorate again. It is important that you stick to your skincare routine to ensure your overall well-being.

THE Doctor Mi! EVENING ROUTINE FOR ROSACEA: HOW TO DO IT RIGHT

The best way to implement your evening routine for rosacea is to use the Doctor Mi! rosacea set and other products such as PEEL. Find out how to use the products correctly below.

CLEAN

Apply a small amount of the gentle but thorough cleansing gel CLEAN to your entire face in the evening. Massage it into your skin for 2-3 minutes with damp hands and circular movements. You can even use it to remove eye shadow and other make-up from your eyes without additional make-up remover. Use lukewarm water to rinse your face.

TONE

Spray TONE, the mild toner from Doctor Mi! medical skincare, 2-3 times onto a cotton pad. Apply it gently to your face, neck and décolleté. Avoid contact with your mucous membranes and avoid the eye area. The high-dose AHA fruit acids reliably remove flaky skin cells from the surface of your skin.

NIGHT

Apply a small amount of NIGHT night care to the face, neck and décolleté and massage in until it is completely absorbed.

ALTERNATIVE TO NIGHT: SUPER RED

Instead of NIGHT, after approx. 4 weeks you can also use SUPER RED, the Doctor Mi! Power Complex with highly concentrated TECMi!® Retinol as a skin booster for a particularly effective overnight skin treatment. If it is very well tolerated, you can increase the application up to 2-3 times a week. However, you should not use more than this.

DERMAROLLER

You can work both NIGHT and SUPER RED deeper into your skin with the DERMAROLLER to maximize the skin-renewing effects of both creams. Thanks to its antibacterial coating and optimum needle length, the DERMAROLLER is ideal for use at home. Incidentally, it is also excellent for treating scar tissue. Important: Start carefully and only apply light pressure at first. Also, only use the DERMAROLLER every two weeks for rosacea.

MASK

The use of MASK is recommended for acute rosacea flare-ups and as required. Apply a hazelnut-sized amount evenly to your face and leave the soothing skin mask to absorb for at least 15 minutes. Then wash it off with lukewarm water.

FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUR EVENING ROUTINE FOR ROSACEA

With the Doctor Mi! evening routine for the face, your skin is well cared for and ready for a restful night. The following tips will also help you to avoid rosacea flare-ups in the evening.

LOW HISTAMINE FOOD IN THE EVENING

Histamines are a special form of protein that are unsuitable for rosacea as they cause rosacea flare-ups. Unfortunately, there is a whole range of foods that fall into this category, from fruit and vegetables to milk and meat. By choosing low histamine foods for your evening meal, you are promoting the well-being of your skin and not risking any negative consequences in this regard.

AVOID ALCOHOL

Alcohol dilates the blood vessels, which can be fatal for rosacea. Red wine in particular contains a high proportion of histamines and is therefore a very bad companion for your dinner. It is better to avoid it so as not to cause reddening of the skin.

REDUCE SUGAR & CARBOHYDRATES

Carbohydrates sugarify the skin cells, just like normal industrial sugar or fructose. It is therefore important that you don't eat too many of them. Try to eat more dishes that are high in protein and fat to protect your skin.

Tip: Pay attention to low-histamine foods here too.

MAKE SURE YOU RELAX

Stress is unhealthy, even for the skin. In the case of rosacea, it can even cause flare-ups, redness and swelling. It is therefore all the more important that you avoid sources of stress. By practicing calmer forms such as yin yoga, doing mindfulness exercises or finding other ways to relax, you are not only doing something good for yourself, but also for your skin.
