Treat skin rosy skin naturally without antibiotics.
What is rosy skin? Rosy skin, commonly known as rosacea, is a chronic skin condition affecting over 400 million people worldwide. Scientists are still unsure what causes rosacea, but treatments can manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Approaches include reducing bodily inflammation, dietary intervention, aromatherapy, and the most effective of all — at-home laser light therapy.
Rosy skin usually develops between ages 30 and 50 and manifests differently from person to person. It can resemble sunburn, blushing, or ruddy cheeks. Flare-ups may also produce red bumps, sometimes mistaken for acne. Rosy skin often occurs in cycles and typically affects the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead, but in severe cases can spread to other areas.
You are more likely to develop rosy skin if you have fair skin, blonde hair, blue eyes, or Northern European ancestry. Women are more susceptible, but men often experience more severe symptoms.
Why are antibiotics so bad for rosy skin?
While antibiotics may temporarily reduce rosy skin symptoms, long-term use can worsen the condition. This is because antibiotics disrupt gut health, which has been linked to worsening rosacea symptoms.
What makes the LYMA Laser different?
The LYMA Laser is incredibly powerful, with a unique filtered beam that diffuses a tiny pinprick of light over a large skin surface. While generic beauty lasers typically deliver 15 milliwatts, the LYMA Laser registers closer to 560 milliwatts, penetrating deep into the skin to target rosacea-causing inflammation.
This depth allows the LYMA Laser to work on the inflammatory response buried within the skin’s layers. It is also the only laser treatment optimized for all skin tones.
What results can you expect with the LYMA Laser?
After using the laser for just 15 minutes daily over four weeks, journalist Jancee Dunn reported a visible reduction in rosacea symptoms.
In clinical trials, five weeks of using the LYMA Laser twice daily showed an average reduction in hyperpigmentation by 64%, blemishes by 56%, and wrinkle depth by 53.8%.
Food, supplements and lifestyle
Food plays a crucial role in managing rosy skin. Knowing which foods trigger flare-ups and which calm inflammation is key.
Common foods that trigger rosacea:
- Dairy (yoghurt, cheese, sour cream)
- Spicy or thermally hot foods
- Citrus fruits, tomatoes, bananas
- High-histamine foods
- Soy sauce
- Yeast extract
- Vinegar
Foods that calm inflammation:
- Omega-3 rich fish: salmon, herring, sardines, mackerel, trout
- Nuts and seeds: walnuts, hemp seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds
- Peanut butter
- Eggs
- Olive oil
Lifestyle habits also matter. Avoiding food triggers, limiting alcohol, and adopting stress-reducing practices can significantly improve symptoms. Awareness of extreme temperature exposure can also help manage flare-ups.
Rosy skin skincare
Before investing in specialist rosacea skincare, establish a basic routine. Dermatologists recommend:
- Cleanse gently with a non-stripping face wash.
- Apply a calming facial serum.
- Moisturize to prevent water loss and sensitivity.
- Wear SPF daily to protect against flare-ups.
- Avoid grainy scrubs, rough flannels, and sponges.
Ingredients to avoid in rosacea skincare: alcohol, acetone, camphor, fragrances, glycolic acid, lactic acid, sodium lauryl sulphate, menthol, urea, witch hazel, eucalyptus oil.
Which specialist should you see for rosy skin?
The best person to consult is a board-certified dermatologist, ideally one specializing in rosacea. Some dermatologists focus on specific subtypes, so research is essential.
When to consult a doctor
If rosacea is mild and not causing discomfort, medical help may not be necessary. However, consulting a GP or dermatologist is the first step in understanding your condition and exploring treatment options.
Will dermatologists help?
Dermatologists are best placed to recommend effective treatments — whether topical skincare, prescription antibiotics, or laser therapy for rosacea — and tailor a plan to your needs.
Beware biased advice
Remember that dermatologists often recommend laser systems they already use in their clinic. Always research suggested technologies independently.
