Moisturizers can be helpful in protecting the skin from
dryness. We suggest Jojoba oil (100% pure with no preservatives). Jojoba oil
can normally be found at GNC stores in the United States and Canada and can be
purchased in most health stores throughout the world or
purchase online at JojobaCare. Use the Jojoba oil as
directed below before the application of Rosacea-Ltd IV.
After washing the face with any one of these three soaps that are easy to locate and inexpensive such as the
Neutrogena (the transparent facial
bar) "dry skin formula - fragrance free" or the well known
Dove
'Sensitive Skin Unscented Beauty Bar' or the most unusual but the best for the most ultra
sensitive skin is the
Noxzema Shaving cream for
sensitive skin, place one drop of Jojoba oil in your
'wet hands.' Rub the hands together so that the one drop is equally divided
and dispersed over both hands. Apply Jojoba oil with wet hands equally to both
sides of a face which is 100% wet. After application of Jojoba oil, apply
Rosacea-Ltd IV according to the instructions. The sensitive or damaged rosacea
skin needs small concentrations of Jojoba oil for the following reasons:
To help reverse damage to the epidermis caused by harsh soaps, facial washes, and rosacea topical medications.
To help replace moisture lost from the use of facial washes and topical medications.
To help enhance skin healing (cell division and growth) within the middle layer of the epidermis.
To help penetration of topical Rosacea-Ltd IV through the epidermis.
To help normalize sebum excretion (related to acne).
To help normalize keratin sloughing off from the dermis (related to acne).
To help normalize the production of inflammatory substances (prostaglandins) in the dermis of the skin.
The importance of Jojoba oil derives from its similarity to the natural
restorative oil produced by the sebaceous glands in the dermal layers of the
skin. Jojoba oil is non-allergenic and will not clog the pores.
For people with dry skin or for women who need a moisturizer before
applying their make-up, we recommend another drop of Jojoba oil. Approximately
30 minutes to an hour after the application of Rosacea-Ltd, place one drop of
Jojoba oil in your 'wet hands.' Rub the hands together and apply the Jojoba
oil equally to both sides of the face which is 100% wet. After allowing the
drying time for Rosacea-Ltd IV, wetting the face again will not dilute the
effectiveness of it.
