Pro tip: A client in Austin taught me a simple trick for calming rosacea flare-ups

She came in for a facial last month and mentioned her dermatologist said to keep a spray bottle of plain, cold green tea in the fridge. I tried it on her during her steam, and the redness visibly settled in about 90 seconds. What's your go-to quick fix for sudden facial redness?

Green tea spray sounds genius, I'll have to try that. My quick fix is keeping a cheap aloe vera gel in the fridge. When my face gets red and hot, I slather a thin layer on clean skin. The cold gel feels amazing and the redness usually calms down in a few minutes. It's way cheaper than most fancy calming products.

My sister in Denver swears by the green tea spray trick too. I keep a cheap bottle of witch hazel in the fridge for the same reason. Splashing some of that on a cotton pad and holding it on my cheeks works every time. It's just basic and cheap, which is all you really need when your face is on fire.
