SeboCalm Redness Relief Face Moisturizer
Rosacea Sunscreen Review
A reader emailed me to ask what rosacea-friendly sunscreen I use. She has a sensitivity to oxybenzone. I don't have that sensitivity. But, I do find that products containing glycerin make my skin itchy. I'm going into this test knowing that glycerin is going to cause itching. You'll have your own sensitivities with rosacea, so keep those in mind when you look through the ingredients.
My sunscreen cream expired. I have been using zinc powder over face cream, but it dries my skin out. I really want a moisturizer that offers broad-spectrum protection. Make sure you shop for broad spectrum. You want to protect your skin against UVA and UVB rays.
I've used
Andalou Naturals products
in the past and had great success. Usually, I stick with their moisturizing face wash. It works well when it's in the middle of winter. We're entering spring now, so my skin tends to be a little oilier. I saw a bottle of Andalou Naturals Oil Control Beauty Balm with SPF 30 on my store's discontinued shelf. I opted to buy it and see what I think.
