We love natural skincare solutions and it's important to treat your rosacea-inflamed skin with gentle, pure ingredients just as we'd treat our own sensitive skin conditions. The condition of your skin will tell you a lot about your overall health and well-being.

Why Choose Homemade DIY Face Masks for Rosacea?

Homemade DIY face masks are a fantastic way of treating your rosacea-inflamed skin to a natural soak of pure ingredients in their most raw form. Homemade masks are a great way of topically applying a myriad of amazing skin-loving ingredients to your face.

• They're incredibly simple to make, using easy-to-find ingredients from your cupboards or local organic supermarket
• Pure, natural ingredients could be exactly what your skin needs to be free from blotches and redness
• No factory processing, parabens, preservatives, or rosacea-triggering nasties
• They're handy when you've run out of your favourite mask and need a quick fix
• You know exactly what they contain - complete ingredient transparency

Understanding Rosacea

Often mistaken for a type of acne, rosacea is a redness of the skin whereby the blood vessels contract and become visible underneath the surface of the skin. Healthy facial skin should be smooth and even-toned, without persistent redness or visible blood vessels.

Unfortunately, the definite cause of rosacea flare ups are not certain. However, triggers tend to vary from person to person, with factors including diet, lifestyle, stress levels, cosmetic products, and even the weather.

We recommend using natural ingredients that are organic and locally sourced. We suggest applying a homemade turmeric face mask, so your skin can get the most out of turmeric's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant natural properties through direct absorption.

Why is Natural Rosacea Care Important?

Inflamed rosacea skin is uncomfortable and can affect your confidence. In the same way that harsh chemicals can irritate sensitive skin, using gentle, natural ingredients can provide relief and healing for your rosacea.

Natural rosacea care is important because:

• Rosacea can worsen with harsh chemicals and synthetic ingredients
• If rosacea isn't cared for properly, it can become more inflamed and spread
• Natural care protects the skin barrier and prevents further irritation
• It helps maintain your skin's natural healing processes
• You'll have clearer, more comfortable skin
• Gentle, natural ingredients work with your skin rather than against it

Our Premium Natural Ingredients

This face mask contains only two natural and organic ingredients, specially chosen for their rosacea-fighting properties:

Turmeric

This beautifully calming ingredient neutralises the inflamed skin, directly reducing rosacea redness. Turmeric is rich in curcumin which has powerful anti-inflammatory properties.

If not used in food, turmeric is often ingested in supplement form, which is fantastic for building healing barriers within the body. However, by applying it directly to the rosacea areas, you're really getting its benefits from the source as it subtly soaks into the skin. Turmeric helps to soothe irritation and reduce the appearance of redness.

Organic Honey

A natural moisturiser, honey will smooth over the skin and add a sweet touch of natural hydration to your skin. Honey is naturally antibacterial and has healing properties that help repair damaged skin.

It also acts as a gentle exfoliator, as free radicals on the skin latch to its sticky surface, which are easily removed when you rinse the mask off. Our recommendation is to use raw, unprocessed organic honey for the best skin benefits.

How to Make Your Homemade Turmeric Face Mask

What's even better about this homemade face mask is that it's incredibly easy to make! (And it smells good, too…)

Ingredients

• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp organic honey

Method

Simply mix these two super-ingredients together to form a paste. Apply to the skin, paying special attention to those rosacea inflamed areas.

Leave on the skin for about 5-10 minutes, and wash off gently with warm water and a soft natural cotton pad. Be careful not to stain white items of clothing, as turmeric is very pigmented!

You might not see results after one use of the mask, so try applying it twice a week until it visibly calms your rosacea.

When Should You Apply This Turmeric Face Mask?

We recommend using this homemade turmeric face mask in three different ways:

1. When Your Rosacea is Particularly Inflamed

During flare-ups, you can apply the mask as often as needed. Many people who apply the mask to their symptomatic areas have shown improvements in skin calmness and reduced redness!

2. Before Exposure to Known Triggers

If you know you'll be exposed to weather conditions or stress that might trigger your rosacea, apply the mask beforehand as a protective treatment.

3. As a Regular Part of Your Skincare Routine

This mask doesn't have to only be used to treat active rosacea. It can also be used as a regular part of your skincare routine to help prevent rosacea flare-ups from occurring and to help keep your skin in top condition.

Apply in the evening when you're ready to settle for the night to allow the mask to work its magic.

Always cleanse your skin gently before applying the mask, and be extra gentle with inflamed or sensitive areas.
