Rosacea outbreaks can be uncomfortable and embarrassing, but you can cover the redness with a few carefully chosen products.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Moisturizer
  • Green-tinted concealer or lotion
  • Foundation

    How to Camouflage a Rosacea Outbreak

  1. Step 1

    Wash your face with a mild cleanser and rinse with lukewarm water. Hot water can aggravate your skin and make a flare-up worse.

  2. Step 2

    Apply a light moisturizer and allow to dry thoroughly.

  3. Step 3

    Apply a very thin layer of concealer or green-tinted lotion on areas that are red. Green will neutralize the red, but do not over apply. It will look caked and unnatural.

  4. Step 4

    Apply foundation as you normally do. Be sure to smooth the foundation over the concealer to make sure it looks natural.

Tips & Warnings
  • Stay away from rosacea triggers like alcohol, harsh cleansers, spicy food and overexertion.
