Dear {{Name}},
It’s important to have the right skin care routine to help control facial seborrheic dermatitis. This includes using gentle, non-irritating products and avoiding harsh scrubs and astringents. This applies to facials too.
There are actually quite a few facials that can help control the symptoms of Seb Derm.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments are one option. IPL is not a cure for seborrheic dermatitis or rosacea, but it can provide periods of remission between flare-ups.
Salicylic acid facials can also improve the redness of Seb derm and slough off dead skin cells. The new supramolecular salicylic acid is better for Seb derm sufferers with impaired skin barrier functions. It’s milder, has fewer side effects and can be tolerated fo a longer time.
In fact, a study showed that combining supramolecular salicylic acid and IPL in one treatment is effective about 50% of the time to treat Seb derm of the face.
However, these are stronger treatment facials and they can be expensive. If you have sensitive skin or are in the throes of an Seb derm flare, stick with gentle, nourishing facials like:
– colloidal oatmeal facials
– fruit facial treatments
– antioxidant facials
– LED light therapy
– Collagen facials
– curd masks
– collagen masks
Some facials to avoid include:
– Facials with harsh ingredients or acids e.g glycolic acid facials
– Facials that use steam or heat
– Facials that involve extractions
– Oil facials
– Microdermabrasions
