Develop a plan to avoid or minimize your exposure to these triggers. By doing this, you may actually reduce or eliminate the need for medication to control your rosacea. Avoid using facial cleaning products, moisturizers, and cosmetics with alcohol or other ingredients that irritate your skin. If your eyes are affected, faithfully follow your doctor s treatment plan and clean your eyelids as instructed. Try to minimize your stress level.
