Small vessels which dilate at the level of the face, then giving fire to the cheeks or “flush”: this is the rosacea. If at first the redness disappears after a few moments, over time the small vessels lose their elasticity and the redness sets in. About 15% of the population is affected by this aesthetic inconvenience, fair-skinned women being particularly prone to it.
Anti-inflammatory tansy
In a 60 ml bottle, mix: 2 ml of EO of annual tansy, 1 ml of EO of pink geranium, 1 ml of EO of carrot, 1 mlhelichrysum Italian. Complete with vegetable oil rosehip. Apply to rosacea twice a day, avoiding the eye area.
NB: tansy has a blue color, but don’t worry, it fades in a few minutes! Not recommended for women pregnant and lactating, to people epileptics, in case of mastosis or hormone-dependent cancer.
Express solution
We rely on Italian helichrysum for its micro-circulatory properties. Incorporate 1 drop of EO into its moisturizer. Warning: it is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding and in case of anticoagulant treatment. In this case, we will opt for helichrysum hydrosol, to be sprayed on the cheeks instead of its tonic.
Advice in +
We avoid the triggers: exposure to the sun, change from hot to cold, stimulants, aggressive cosmetics. To remove makeup, we test the HE ofAlmond or apricot kernels, followed by a few drops ofhydrosolofwitch Hazel or Italian helichrysum. Vegetable oil hemp is also useful for preventing rosacea.
