6 Keys to perfect makeup if you have rosacea

After our latest launch, HERBERA MINERAL MAKEUP, many of you with rosacea have asked us for advice on how to apply makeup and achieve a natural finish with our products.

When developing each of our makeup products, we set ourselves different challenges; one of them was that they should also act as treatment products.

That is why each product is formulated with active ingredients that will not only even out your skin tone or provide luminosity, but also improve the appearance of wrinkles and redness, or protect the skin from external agents.

The second challenge we set for ourselves was that they should be suitable for the most sensitive skin, which is why we dermatologically test them all, choosing volunteers with sensitive skin, and in the case of our mascara, we also have the confidence of it being ophthalmologically tested.

Therefore, we want to share with you the 6 keys to applying makeup if you have rosacea, to keep your skin healthy and hydrated, soothe redness, and even out your skin tone.

1. Treat your skin before applying makeup 

It is essential to prepare your skin before applying makeup with products that treat your rosacea and hydrate your skin well.

For the treatment of rosacea, we recommend using the BIO SERUM AZELAIC TREATMENT, which helps balance the skin microbiome and soothe the skin.

After the serum, always apply your facial moisturizer. For sensitive skin and skin with rosacea, we have formulated a cream to hydrate, soothe, and prevent redness. Choose the PROBIOTIC THERAPY. The importance of properly preparing the skin before applying makeup has to do with the composition of decorative cosmetics, which often contain high concentrations of powders, such as the filters that provide coverage or the pigments that add color. These powders have the ability to absorb excess moisture, and if the skin is not properly hydrated beforehand, there is a risk of it looking cracked as the hours pass. For this reason, gentle cleansing and proper hydration with products specifically for sensitive skin is essential to preserve skin comfort during makeup wear.

2. Use concealer to even out your skin tone

You can cover imperfections and even out your tone before using foundation. We recommend opting for a concealer that contains treatment active ingredients, free of synthetic fragrances and other irritating ingredients. 

In addition, perform a "patch test" before applying any new product to a smaller area to ensure there are no adverse reactions. Choosing a gentle concealer will help you achieve an even tone without compromising the health of your skin. 

Choose the HYALURONIC CREAM CONCEALER 

This natural, organic, and certified concealer offers a creamy texture to hide dark circles, redness, and skin blemishes. Its formula includes protective botanical active ingredients such as ginkgo biloba and calendula. Additionally, it contains plant-based hyaluronic acid to keep the skin hydrated and ensure a perfect blur. It is perfect for creating the coverage you need while respecting your skin's health, especially if you have sensitive skin and suffer from rosacea. 

3. Soft and light base

Make sure to find a base that provides uniform coverage without clogging pores, with a natural finish. It is advisable that its formula contains soothing and anti-inflammatory ingredients to help calm irritated skin and reduce the characteristic redness of rosacea.

Avoid products with fragrances and irritating chemicals, as they can worsen skin sensitivity. We recommend opting for the BB Cream with hyaluronic acid, which evens out skin tone, covers imperfections, and prevents the appearance of wrinkles. Furthermore, it contains probiotics of the Lactobacillus genus that balance and soothe sensitive skin, as well as antioxidants that protect against skin aging. Its finish is matte and silky and does not add any oil.

4. Set with natural bronzing powder

These powders help control facial shine, minimize the appearance of pores, and help set your makeup for a longer duration. You can use a soft brush and apply them without using too much so as not to saturate the skin and maintain a natural appearance.

Choose the SUNKISSED POWDER BRONZER.

Its formulation with 100% naturally derived ingredients, such as finely milled mica and mineral pigments, guarantees a finish that simulates a "sun-kissed" effect. The combination of organic apricot, jojoba, and grape oils ensures smooth integration into the skin, providing a natural tan without adding oil or drying out, making them suitable for combination skin. Apply them to the cheekbones with a stroke from top to bottom, from the cheekbone to the temple to mark and define features.

5. Apply a touch of color

Finally, since we have already corrected redness and evened out the skin tone, which is the most important part, now the final touch is to apply a touch of color to your lips with the HYALURONIC CREAMY LIPSTICK.

Its formula enriched with hyaluronic acid provides intense hydration, helping to keep lips soft and supple. In addition, its creamy and smooth texture glides easily over the lips, providing energy, joy, and long-lasting wear.

By choosing a lipstick like the HYALURONIC CREAMY LIPSTICK, you will not only be adding a touch of color to your final look, but you will also be caring for and protecting your lips. The hydration provided by hyaluronic acid can help prevent dryness and flaking, which are common in people with rosacea.

Complete your makeup with radiant, protected lips, highlighting your natural beauty and feeling confident. Choose the shade depending on the day and the occasion; you can choose between:

• Warm terracotta: Orange Agate 601
• Dark nude garnet: Garnet star 602
• Soft pink and orange: Pinkz quart 603
• Intense red: Red diamond 604
• Vivid fuchsia: Pink Tourmaline 605

6. Remove makeup with products that respect your skin

Sensitive skin can react negatively to certain products, and cleansing with harsh soaps could further irritate the condition. Opting for gentle cleansers can help effectively remove makeup without causing additional irritation. By choosing appropriate products and cleansing techniques, you can keep your skin healthy and reduce the risk of aggravating rosacea.

At the end of the day, remove your makeup with GOLDEN DUNE ; it is perfect because it is an ideal dual-function balm, formulated with mango and shea butters, along with organic carrot, broccoli, apricot, and passion fruit oils. It cleanses deeply, balancing the hydrolipidic mantle and keeping the skin well hydrated. Its gentle application as a balm that turns into oil during massage and then into cleansing milk upon contact with water suggests a delicate and versatile experience that can adapt to the needs of sensitive skin with rosacea.

We hope that with these six keys for perfect makeup, you will be able to even out your skin tone and feel comfortable and cared for.
