In a previous blog, we discussed how winter impacts your skin and rosacea was one of the points in that article. Knowing you or a beloved one can suffer from it, we wanted to share advice on how to treat Rosacea.
As you know, rosacea is a very common side-effect of winter. If you didn’t read our previous article then let me give you a short overview of rosacea.
What is rosacea?
Rosacea is a skin condition in which your nose and cheeks become red. The redness can spread to the forehead, chest, back, ears, and even eyelids in severe cases if not cured on time. People who have fair skin tones are usually more easily affected by rosacea.
Though there are many ways to treat rosacea, being a natural skin care brand we always recommend using natural ingredients and remedies to treat skin problems.

Aloe Vera is very popular for its antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. It’s one of the best herbal ingredients that have healing properties. The inner leaf of aloe vera contains a very moisturising gel.
