Hello, fellow skincare enthusiasts! As an expert team at Spa Escape, we’ve dedicated ourselves to understanding the intricacies of all skin types and any of the conditions that come with them.
One condition we often encounter is rosacea – a pesky skin issue that can cause more than a bit of blushing.
This long-term skin condition affects the facial area, leading to redness and inflammation. And when left untreated, rosacea can cause swelling, pustules, and even thickening skin.
At Spa Escape, we understand that irritated skin needs soothing and gentle care – which is why we’ve put together our top tips for the best facials for rosacea! Read on to learn a bit more about the condition and our recommendations for treatments that will help you get your glowing complexion back.
What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a common skin condition characterized by facial redness and visible blood vessels. It can also result in the development of small pus-filled bumps. Unfortunately, flare-ups can last for weeks to months before eventually calming down.
Rosacea is often a symptom of skin inflammation or redness caused by engorged capillaries and blood vessels.
Engorged capillaries and vessels indicate that the walls of the capillaries and vessels are weak and need to be strengthened so that the blood circulates and does not pool in those areas.
Triggers of inflammation are different for everyone, but some common ones include hot drinks, spicy foods, extreme temperatures, and certain skincare products. When you do suffer a flare-up, it is essential to try and remember the trigger to avoid similar situations in the future.
One of the best ways to inhibit the triggers and reduce redness is by using gentle skincare products that are suitable for rosacea – like our signature facials at Spa Escape!
Is It Rosacea? Common Signs of Rosacea
If you’re unsure if you have rosacea, take a look at the common signs and symptoms.
If redness appears on your cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead that doesn’t seem to go away – it could be rosacea.
Other common signs include visible small blood vessels on the skin’s surface, bumps and pimples on the face, and burning or stinging sensations.
If you are displaying any of these symptoms, it is vital to see a medical professional and get a proper diagnosis as soon as possible. The sooner you can get a diagnosis and start your treatment plan and skin care regimen, the more effectively you can reduce the symptoms.
Common Mistakes in Treating Rosacea
Before we look at some steps you can take to treat your rosacea, it’s important to get an understanding of some potential mistakes you could make. While many people use harsh products or scrub their skin too vigorously, these are two big no-nos!
When it comes to treating rosacea, gentleness is key! Many people make the mistake of using harsh treatments and products, hoping for a quick fix. This often backfires, causing more irritation, damage, and further flare-ups.
Remember, it’s not about waging war on your skin but rather giving it the tender love and care it needs. Rather than using products with high concentrations of acids or alcohol, which can worsen the condition, focus on keeping your skin hydrated, strengthened, and nourished.
Spa Escape’s Special 3 Treatments for Rosacea
At Spa Escape, we offer a range of treatments specifically designed to tackle rosacea, but the star of the show is our IPL Laser for Vascular treatment.
1) IPL Laser Treatment for Rosacea
While it might not fall under the traditional definition of a facial, it’s incredibly effective at reducing the appearance of rosacea. This treatment uses light pulses to target and minimize redness and visible blood vessels. It works by heating up the walls of these engorged vessels, cauterizing them so they can strengthen and heal.
The whole process is very gentle and can be done in as little as 20 minutes. You’ll most likely need two to four treatments for the best results as the capillaries and blood vessels strengthen and heal. During our IPL treatments for rosacea as we also give lots of advice during this treatment of how to help you get the best healing for your skin so that your rosacea disappears or becomes very minor.

The Express European Facial with Chemical Peel is an even better option, as it includes a clinical-level exfoliant you can’t get at home. This type of exfoliant is crucial to healing the skin, as skin irritation is often a result of a build-up of dead skin cells on the surface.
Don’t let the term “chemical peel” scare you off! Our peels are gentle and designed not to irritate rosacea-prone skin but to remove dead skin cells and reveal fresh, calm skin underneath. This allows additional hydration to be absorbed more efficiently, which is great for calming inflammation.
