I went in for a facial because my skin was really dry. I thought it would be good for them to remove the dead layer of skin. My facialist was young and apparently inexperienced because she started the facial by applying lactic acid to remove the dead skin cells. Lactic acid and rosacea are a bad combo! My face stung so much for the entire facial, even when she began using the calming, mild products. At first I wondered if it was the lactic acid irritating me due to my use of metrogel. From the research I did, it looks like it was just from having rosacea. I had the worst flare-up I've ever had. Bright red marks on my face - looked like a bad allergic reaction. The products they use are very important to consider in a facial as rosacea folks can't tolerate the same products everyone else can. Get someone experienced with your condition.

When booking your appointment, make sure that you ask if they are trained to help customers with rosacea. The technician that helps me has rosacea and knows what aggravates her skin so I am very confident in her. Always make sure that if they use steam to open your pores, that it is far enough away from your face. I've found that if its about 1.5 feet away from my face I'm fine. Also make sure that if they do micro-derm that they don't use a machine. (If you're comfortable, let them use their hands). Don't be afraid to speak up if your face starts burning! Someone who performs facials is passionate about skin care and wants to help your complexion. I will get a slight flair-up afterward (for about 20 minutes), but my skin does appear clearer and more even within a half hour or so. Plus it's really relaxing! Lori:

I am 40 and have had mild rosacea for a few years, but in the last 4 months it has worsened significantly. I usually have a facial every 4-6 months, but am waiting out of concern that it might have a detrimental effect. Can someone please advise me?
