Calm, considered care for redness-prone skin.

About this concern

What's actually happening

Rosacea is a common, long-term skin condition that mainly affects the face — you may see flushing, lasting redness, visible blood vessels, or acne-like bumps.

Its exact cause isn't known, and it's often set off by triggers like sun, heat, spicy food, alcohol, stress, and harsh products. It can't be cured, but it can be managed and kept calmer. At Andersen Esthetics, rosacea-prone skin gets cool, calm, careful treatment. We avoid the heat, scrubbing, and strong actives that commonly set off flushing.

The Andersen approach

Our rosacea-friendly facials are soothing and gentle. Depending on your skin, we may suggest:

  • Oxygen RX Treatment — a cooling, calming, oxygenating facial.
  • Refine Facial — a gentle treatment with no aggressive exfoliation.
  • Lactic Acid Peel — mild and hydrating, only if your skin tolerates it.

We skip heat, harsh scrubs, and strong actives that can trigger a flare, and we adjust to how your skin responds.

At-home essentials

  • Choose products labeled gentle or for sensitive skin; cleanse gently and moisturize daily.
  • Wear a daily mineral SPF — sun is one of the most common triggers.
  • Learn and avoid your personal triggers (heat, alcohol, spicy food, stress).
  • Don't scrub, and skip fragrance and strong actives.
