Best Rosacea Skin Care Daily Regimen - Joanna Vargas

If you are someone who struggles with Rosacea, you might be wondering what is the best skincare daily regimen for you? What products are best, which treatments are recommended, and ways you can treat it every day? Luckily, we’re here to help.

What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a very common inflammatory skin condition, where your skin flares up, normally looking like an enhanced blush, but it can lead to very irritated skin causing bumps or puss. Typically, things like stress, certain foods, sweat, or alcohol can bring it out the worse. Commonly it is mistaken for eczema or an allergic reaction. It is also not restricted to just the face. Some people may see dry patches or rough skin on their arms, neck, and chest. It can be treated by a doctor, and there are things you can do daily to help soothe the redness. 

Rosacea Daily Skincare Routine

     Colder months are approaching, and Rosacea can be worse in the Winter. Colder air can make the skin drier and more compromised- making the skin more sensitive to flare-ups. Here are some products you can add to your skincare routine to help with rosacea:

  1. Find a moisturizer best suited for you. Look for ones with ingredients that help calm the skin like avocado oil, green tea, or olive oil. 
  2. Cut down on exfoliating to just once a week, as this can dry out your skin quicker. 
  3. Avoid scrubs for your face since they can be rough on your skin and always dry with a soft fabric cloth.
  4. Incorporate an oil-based serum into your rosacea skincare daily regimen, to help soothe any troubled skin. This will help calm your daily rosacea.
  5. Be sure to apply and reapply, SPF daily, since heat can be a major trigger in activating rosacea.

Because rosacea comes and goes, it is important to be consistent with your skin care regimen and following up with your doctor. Pay close attention to ingredients in products and keep a journal of what works best for you, what foods you eat, and what might trigger it. 

Tools & Treatments to Help Rosacea:

Investing in a humidifier is one tool you can add to your rosacea skin care routine. A humidifier will help minimize the dry air that causes dry, itchy skin and provide more moisture to the room. Ranging in price, you can find one suitable for your budget and it will help bring your calming skin back. Another good way to treat rosacea is with Joanna’s newest beauty tool, winner of Allure’s best of beauty, the Magic Glow Wand, It is another way to soothe angered skin. The cool setting on the device helps calm your skin and mimics a cryotherapy treatment used in the salon. It will also help deepen the ingredients of your moisturizer, serum, or sheet mask into your skin for faster results.

Can You Combine XERF with Botox, Filler, or Lasers?
October 11, 2026

Can You Combine XERF with Botox, Filler, or Lasers?

Yes, XERF may be incorporated into a treatment plan with Botox or other neuromodulators, dermal fillers, biostimulatory injectables, lasers and selected ultrasound procedures. XERF uses noninvasive radiofrequency energy to heat tissue and support skin tightening, while neuromodulators address expression lines, fillers restore volume, and lasers may target pigmentation or texture. However, these treatments are not automatically safe to perform together or on the same day. Radiofrequency heating may affect certain existing fillers, and sequencing depends on the product, treatment area, settings and medical history. At Joanna Vargas in New York City, medically guided consultations help determine whether XERF belongs in a personalized approach to skin rejuvenation.

XERF vs. Thermage vs. Ultherapy: How They Compare

XERF vs. Thermage vs. Ultherapy: How They Compare

XERF and Thermage use monopolar radiofrequency energy to heat tissue and support collagen remodeling, while Ultherapy uses microfocused ultrasound with visualization to target selected tissue depths. XERF uses dual-frequency RF technology (6.78 MHz and 2 MHz), while Thermage FLX uses a single RF frequency of approximately 6.78 MHz. Ultherapy can target specific depths, including 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mm, depending on the treatment area and protocol. All three are non-surgical options for selected skin-laxity concerns, but they differ in energy delivery, comfort, clinical evidence and treatment planning. No device is universally best; the right choice depends on your anatomy, skin laxity, goals and medical evaluation.

Why the DEJ Holds the Secret to Younger Skin

Why the DEJ Holds the Secret to Younger Skin

The dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) is the structural foundation where the epidermis meets the dermis, and its deterioration drives visible aging. Clinical biopsy data from a 63-year-old male patient treated with E-50 Skin Booster after microneedling showed a 17% increase in rete ridge density, 52% increase in epidermal thickness, and 61% increase in basal keratinocyte density, demonstrating that targeted exosome delivery can restore the DEJ architecture that gives skin its density and firmness.
