The Rosalique Routine
(For a TL;DR version, skip to the bottom of the page!)
Skincare is the new makeup. In the age of the clean girl, everyone is talking about how to enhance their natural skin, to achieve a radiant glow, or ‘glass skin,’ where the face appears so plump and luminous, it’s as if it reflects light. All this emphasis on skincare can be overwhelming, especially for rosacea sufferers who are just looking for something soothing, gentle and effective; skincare that’s simple, but really works. That’s where we come in, with a mix-and-match routine with as many (or few!) steps as you would like.
The Rosalique range was developed especially for sensitive and redness-prone skin. Our unique, bio-scientific formulas were created to be the fastest, safest and most effective solutions for facial redness, rosacea and other sensitive skin conditions. In this blog, we explain how to make the most of their redness-reducing power with a simple, step-by-step routine. A full daily Rosalique routine would include our Calming Cream Cleanser, Redness Relief Day Cream, Sensitive Skin Defence Serum SPF25, 3 in 1 Anti-Redness Miracle Formula SPF50, 3 in 1 Balm Cleanser and Soothing Night Cream - but all these steps are optional. Our products were designed to work both together and independently, so keep reading to discover which steps in the routine best suit your skin’s needs!
The Rosalique Routine
☼ Step 1 – Cleanse
Our Calming Cream Cleanser is a gentle formula that removes impurities while reducing irritation. With NEW Hero Ingredient PENTAVITIN®, which provides hydration for up to 72 hours - even after rinsing. It also contains colloidal oatmeal, a gentle exfoliant that helps remove dead skin cells as well as Centella Asiatica, a-Bisabolol and Panthenol for redness-reducing benefits while you wash.
How to use: gently massage the Cream Cleanser into damp skin in circular motions. Leave to sit for a moment before removing, either by rinsing with lukewarm water or with one of our Bamboo Cleansing Cloths.
☼ Step 2 – Moisturise
The Rosalique Redness Relief Day Cream was designed to be the perfect base under our all-time bestseller, the Miracle Formula. Formulated with NEW Hero Ingredient Agascalm™, it visibly reduces redness and inflammation, whilst boosting resilience and skin radiance. With Mango Seed Butter, Vitamin E and Squalane, this day cream is a moisturising powerhouse.
How to use: using clean hands, apply generously across the face and neck.
☼ Step 3 – Defend
One of the most critical steps for those with rosacea, broken capillaries or redness-prone skin, will be shielding your skin from UV-rays that are known to trigger flare-ups. Our featherlight, non-greasy Sensitive Skin Defence Serum SPF25 protects delicate skin from UV damage while calming redness and irritation thanks to actives like Agascalm™ and Vitamin E.
How to use: using clean hands, apply generously to face and neck, making sure to include the ears and around the hairline.
Please note: if you’re planning to use our Miracle Formula, you’d technically already have SPF coverage. Some people, however, only use the Miracle Formula very sparingly or only on certain areas of the face. If that’s you, we would certainly recommend an additional SPF like our Serum SPF, but even if you do use the Miracle Formula all over your face - some extra protection can be very beneficial, especially if your skin is flaring up or on problem areas.
☼ Step 4 – Conceal, Treat & Protect
The final step in your morning routine is our original cult-classic: the 3 in 1 Anti-Redness Miracle Formula SPF50. This tinted cream supports your skin in three key ways: firstly, its green capsules instantly neutralise redness, whilst beige micropigments offer a natural-looking, light to medium coverage. Second, it calms and soothes the skin through its natural actives, including a-Bisabolol, Panthenol and Urea. Finally, it offers long-term protection with its broad-spectrum SPF50. Our Miracle Formula works perfectly as a tinted moisturiser, colour-correcting concealer or as a primer under make-up.
How to use: using your fingers or our Miracle Brush, apply a small amount evenly across the face and blend until it adapts to your complexion. Buildable for higher coverage.
☾ Step 1 – Wash the Day Away
Start your evening routine by removing make-up, clearing away impurities and gently cleansing the skin with our 3 in 1 Balm Cleanser. Its rich balm consistency will transform into a luxurious oil during application, dissolving any dirt whilst maintaining the skin’s moisture balance during and after cleansing.
How to use: warm briefly between your fingertips before applying in circular motions all over the face, focussing on any areas of make-up. Leave on for a few moments before wiping off the balm with your hands or a Bamboo Cleansing Cloth soaked in lukewarm water.
Optional: to enjoy the benefits of a soothing mask (thanks to anti-redness ingredients such as Centella Asiatica and α-Bisabolol), apply the Balm Cleanser again after initial cleansing, and leave for 10-15 minutes before removing.
☾ Step 2 – Double Cleanse
Whilst some love the Balm Cleanser’s rich and nourishing texture, some prefer a cleanse that leaves the skin feeling more fresh and bare. In comes our Calming Cream Cleanser, with its milky gel texture and skin barrier repair properties. You can use the Cream Cleanser on its own after removing any make-up, or to get rid of any Balm Cleanser residue.
How to use: gently massage the Cream Cleanser into damp skin in circular motions. Leave to sit for a moment before removing, either by rinsing with lukewarm water or with one of our Bamboo Cleansing Cloths.
☾ Step 3 – Protect
Finish your day and your routine by protecting your skin overnight with our Soothing Night Cream. With clinically proven ingredient IBR-CalmDeAge®, our Night Cream stops inflammation in its tracks, evens out the skin tone and brings much-needed soothing relief to stressed skin. Wake up with calmer, refreshed skin!
How to use: using clean hands, apply generously across the face and neck.
