Jojoba Oil and Rosacea Treatment
Prior to beginning any new rosacea treatment, one needs to prepare the rosacea sensitive skin, and allow the skin to heal from the effects of previous aggressive rosacea treatments, which may have left the skin damaged or overly sensitive. Many rosacea treatments leave the rosacea sufferer’s skin so sensitive that “even water hurts their rosacea affected skin”.
The importance of jojoba oil in the treatment of rosacea comes 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.
Jojoba oil will help reverse damage to the epidermis caused by harsh soaps, facial washes, and topical rosacea medications. Jojoba oil also helps replace moisture lost from the use of facial peels, chemical treatments, laser and light treatments. It is beneficial in enhancing skin healing (cell division and growth) within the middle layer of the epidermis. Jojoba Oil helps balance sebum excretion (related to acne) and helps normalize keratin sloughing off from the dermis (related to acne).
When choosing a rosacea treatment regimen, jojoba oil is a natural and beneficial companion to successful control of a difficult skin condition.
