🌿 Hidden Rosacea Triggers You Might Be Overlooking! 🌿
If you’re struggling with rosacea, it’s not just about skincare products—everyday items you use at home could be making your flare-ups worse! Here are some common hidden triggers that could be affecting your skin, and how to avoid them:
1. Laundry Detergents & Fabric Softener
Fragrances and chemicals can linger on your pillowcases and towels, irritating your skin.
👉 Opt for fragrance-free, dye-free detergents like All Free Clear, and skip the fabric softener.
2. Hair Products
Shampoos and conditioners can drip onto your face and cause irritation.
👉 Pull hair back during workouts and rinse your face after using hair products.
3. Toothpaste & Mouthwash
Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and alcohol can trigger flare-ups around the mouth.
👉 Use SLS-free, alcohol-free toothpaste like Tom’s of Maine or Dr. Bronner’s.
4. Facial Hygiene Products
Alcohol-based toners and foaming cleansers can strip the skin’s natural oils, leading to irritation.
👉 Switch to a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser and alcohol-free toner.
5. Fragrances (Air & Skin)
Strong perfumes, candles, and essential oils can sensitize the skin and lead to flare-ups.
👉 Choose unscented or mildly-scented products.
6. Water Quality
Hard water or chlorine in your tap water can cause dryness and irritation.
👉 Install a shower filter and use a thermal water spray after showering.
7. Pillowcases & Towels
Rough fabrics or detergent residue can irritate your skin overnight.
👉 Choose soft, breathable fabrics like cotton or bamboo and change pillowcases often
8. Diet
When you stop feeding thr candida that has taken over your guts microbiome, you will see your skins barrier restored and redness irritation improve
👉Stick with an anti-inflammatory diet, keto, meditoranian, or low gluten/ dairy free to starve the candida and restore healthy skin pH
