Skincare for Rosacea, Red, Inflamed, Skin

a woman with red, inflamed rosacea skin

Rosacea, sensitivity, redness and inflammation are signs of an internal imbalance.

The redness you see on your skin is your body signaling that something deeper is out of harmony.

As we age, our skin becomes more fragile and can react to products we once loved. If you’re seeing irritation or flare-ups, it’s time to change and treat your skin differently.

That’s where an integrative approach—combining Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with modern dermatological insights can offer you a lasting solution.

Frequently Asked Questions about rosacea and red skin

  • What causes rosacea and facial redness?

    Rosacea and persistent redness can come from a mix of triggers including genetics, sensitive skin, environmental stressors, sun exposure, heat, certain foods, alcohol, and disrupted skin barrier function.

  • How do I know if my redness is rosacea or just irritation?

    Rosacea often appears as persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and occasional bumps. Irritation tends to flare after specific products or routines. A skincare professional can help confirm your skin pattern.

  • Can redness and inflammation improve with skincare?

    Yes, the right gentle, barrier-supporting products can calm inflammation, strengthen the skin’s natural defenses and reduce visible redness over time when used consistently.

  • How do I get rid of rosacea?

    Rosacea is a chronic condition, but it can be calmed and well managed with the right care. At Indi Skin, we take a Traditional Chinese Medicine approach that focuses on reducing internal heat and inflammation while strengthening the skin barrier, helping many people minimise redness, flushing and flare ups so their skin feels balanced and settled again.

  • What ingredients help calm redness and rosacea?

    Liquorice Root fades dark spots and calms redness, Coconut Milk deeply nourishes and hydrates and Calendula and Rosemary soothes, heals and protects. Our Balance Herbal Treatment Paste is recommended for rosacea, red skin.

  • Should I avoid all acids and active ingredients if I have rosacea?

    Frequent use of exfoliants, acids, retinoids, foaming cleansers, and alcohol based products weakens the skin barrier. Once the barrier is damaged, redness and sensitivity linger.

  • Can Hormones Trigger Rosacea?

    Fluctuating estrogen levels affect circulation, hydration, and temperature regulation in the skin. As hormones shift, the skin becomes drier, thinner, and more reactive.

  • What Causes Rosacea in Adults?

    Rosacea in adults is caused by chronic inflammation that becomes visible in the skin. It often develops after years of internal stress, hormonal change, digestive imbalance, or skin barrier damage. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, rosacea appears when internal heat, circulation issues, or nervous system stress can no longer be contained within the body and rise to the face.

  • Does stress cause rosacea?

    Yes. Stress is a common rosacea trigger because it affects blood flow, inflammation, and skin sensitivity.
