Learn How Galderma Can Help You Break Up With Your Makeup!

This is a partnered post with Galderma Laboratories, L.P. the makers of Soolantra® (ivermectin) Cream, 1% and Mirvaso® (brimonidine) Topical Gel, 0.33%*. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

For many years, I struggled with the discomfort and embarrassment of rosacea. Enduring symptoms such as redness, bumps, and dryness, I spent a great deal of time feeling uncomfortable and scrambling to find ways to cover it up. Not knowing what to do, I tried every face-cream, astringent, and concealer I could get my hands on. Every day it got worse until I couldn’t ignore it any longer. Eventually, I reached my limit - I knew I had to breakup with my makeup! 



After finally coming to the conclusion that my makeup had to go, I did a little research and put together a few helpful tips for dealing with rosacea:
  • It is important to wash your face daily. Be careful not to scrub too hard, or use a harsh cleanser that could irritate your skin.
  • You are what you eat! Sugar and highly processed foods can lead to dull, greasy, or unhealthy skin. Try avoiding chips, candy, and other foods that are potentially a threat. A food journal is a great way to monitor changes in your diet and how it affects your complexion.
  • Choosing the right lotions and sunscreen can make all the difference in the world. Stay away from fragrances and ingredients like alcohol as they are known to irritate sensitive skin.
  • Consult your doctor about the many different treatment options for rosacea. I had incredible results with Galderma Laboratories L.P.’s Soolantra® (ivermectin) Cream, 1%. Soolantra Cream is an FDA approved treatment for the inflammatory lesions, or bumps and pimples, of rosacea. Another product from Galderma is Mirvaso® (brimonidine) Topical Gel, 0.33%*, indicated for the topical treatment of persistent (nontransient) facial erythema of rosacea.
