Rosacea-prone skin needs extra care to soothe inflammation, strengthen the skin barrier, and calm redness without irritation. Here are six expert tips to help manage rosacea naturally - plus Pure + Kiwi product recommendations crafted with New Zealand botanicals to comfort sensitive skin.
1. Gentle Cleansing
Rosacea skin is delicate, so choose a mild, non-abrasive cleanser that won’t strip natural oils. Avoid hot water, harsh scrubbing, or foaming cleansers that leave skin tight.
✨ Try this:
Clean Slate - Cream Cleanser– with Pohutukawa, Shea Butter and Sunflower Oil - known to calm inflammation and soothe, this cleanser gently lifts away impurities while keeping skin soft and balanced.
2. Avoid Triggers
Certain lifestyle triggers can worsen redness — think hot drinks, spicy foods, alcohol, and extreme temperatures. Pay attention to what flares your skin and try to minimize exposure.
3. Daily Sun Protection
UV exposure is one of the biggest rosacea triggers. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30+, even on cloudy days. Reapply every two hours if outdoors, swimming, or sweating.
✨ Pair it with:
Luna Crème – Face Moisturizer – Infused with Sea Buckthorn and Turmeric both have strong anti-inflammatory & antioxidant benefits. Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) is soothing & helps barrier repair. It layers beautifully under sunscreen while helping reduce redness and hydrate sensitive skin.
4. Keep Skin Hydrated
Dehydrated skin is more reactive. Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer or serum rich in calming botanicals to support the barrier and lock in hydration.
✨ Rosacea-friendly picks:
Bee Calm– Blended with Manuka Honey and Rosehip both have anti-inflammatory & healing properties; Resveratrol is an antioxidant. Great combination for calming irritation.
Rescue Body Butter – With Kowhai, Manuka Honey, and Colloidal Oatmeal, this cream helps soothe irritation and replenish moisture.
5. Look for Rosacea-Soothing Ingredients
When shopping for skincare, prioritize calming and restorative actives:
- Manuka Honey – antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating
- Kawakawa or Pohutukawa Extracts – reduces redness and irritation
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) – strengthens the barrier and evens skin tone
- Colloidal Oatmeal – soothes itching and sensitivity
- Aloe Vera & Panthenol – cooling, calming, and deeply moisturizing
✨ Pure + Kiwi favorites with these botanicals:

- Bee Calm - serum for calming inflammation
- Luna Crème - face cream to help reduce redness and hydrate sensitive skin

6. Cool Compress for Relief
When flare-ups strike, apply a cool compress or ice pack (wrapped in a cloth) to affected areas. This helps constrict blood vessels, reduce heat, and minimize redness.
