Rosacea and pregnancy
Pregnancy brings with it a lot of hormonal changes. These fluctuations can trigger rosacea, or cause flare ups in women who already experience it. Doctors may ordinarily prescribe topical treatments, antibiotics or other treatments that are unsafe for use during pregnancy, leaving women looking for a pregnancy-safe solution. That’s where we come in: Rosalique’s products are a safe and effective rosacea solution that you can use throughout pregnancy, during breastfeeding and beyond. To learn more, keep reading, as in this blog, we will outline rosacea’s link to hormones and how to get the most out of Rosalique during this time.
Rosacea and hormones
The causes of rosacea are poorly understood, but some research suggests that female hormones play a role. For some women, this manifests in cyclical flare ups, that align with their menstrual cycle, for others rosacea may appear only at the onset of perimenopause. Pregnant women’s hormones fluctuate throughout the nine months, which can trigger flareups seemingly randomly throughout pregnancy.
Rosalique’s simple skin routine is packed with active ingredients to help soothe and calm rosacea flare ups, making it ideal as a pregnancy-safe solution. Some of our pregnancy-safe anti-inflammatory ingredients include:
- α-Bisabolol - extracted from the German Chamomile plant, Alpha-Bisabolol reduces redness and helps to calm and soothe red skin
- Zeolite - a highly effective mineral that binds to and removes toxins and heavy metals from the environment.
- Centella Asiatica - a rich source of amino acids, perfect for soothing and hydrating damaged skin.
Rosalique in pregnancy
All our Rosalique products are safe to use during pregnancy and can help to soothe rosacea-prone skin. Pregnancy affects people differently, and your sensitivity may change. We recommend doing a patch test with all our products - simply apply a small amount behind the ear and leave for 24-48 hours, to ensure there is no reaction. This is how our core products can help with the symptoms of rosacea in pregnancy:
