How to Camouflage a Rosacea Outbreak

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. 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. Apply a light moisturizer and allow to dry thoroughly.

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. 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.
