Men using any form of cosmetics is still a taboo to some degree. However men with rosacea should consider the option of a concealer not just for cosmetic reasons but because it could actually help improve the skin condition.
Find out the reasons why men with rosacea should wear concealer
Rosacea is a skin condition that even when it’s in remission often leaves suffers with blotchy and uneven skin tones. This issue applies to men suffering from the condition too, which is why wearing a daily concealer helps men with rosacea to improve the appearance of this skin as well as help reduce symptoms of rosacea at the same time.
Concealers have come a long way these days from the powder based gloopy pore-clogging concoctions of the past. They can be natural looking and they are also much smarter and can actually help your skin recover from various skin conditions as well as making your skin look more evenly toned.
Here are 5 reasons why men with rosacea should wear a concealer
1. Protects rosacea prone skin from UV damage
Most concealers designed for skin prone to rosacea will contain an SPF for sensitive skin. It’s crucial if you have rosacea, that you wear an SPF daily to protect your highly sensitive skin from UV damage, even when it is not sunny. Sun damage and heat on the skin from sun exposure is the main trigger for rosacea flare ups. A mineral SPF is much better than a chemical filter SPF so look for concealer products with mineral SPF’s.
2. Evens out a blotchy skin tone
Even when you don’t actually have a rosacea flare up, skin prone to rosacea often appears blotchy and uneven as it changes temperature during the day. By wearing a concealer, blotchiness is less evident which means you are less likely to try to cool down your skin by splashing your face with water.
3. Stops the spread of bacteria
When you wear concealer on your skin it often prevents you from touching your face as you are aware you have a product on. This massively helps reduce bacteria getting into your already dilated skin pprs which can help prevent skin pustules that often are associated with rosacea.
4. Reduces anxiety about a red face
A concealer for rosacea will typically contain green tones which cancel out the redness of rosacea. Often when a rosacea sufferer feels their skin going red the stress about how their face looks makes the flare up even worse.
An anti-redness concealer hugely cancels out the redness which can make the wearer feel less anxious and stressed about their redness of their skin during a flare.
5. Contains ingredients to improve rosacea
Most decent concealers designed for rosacea will also contain ingredients designed to help reduce the symptoms of rosacea such as redness, dryness, sensitivity and inflammation.
So unlike normal concealers that can clog your pores, concealers for rosacea actually help repair and calm the skin while also concealing redness and protecting from exterior flare triggers.

Customer Review of Kalme Chameleon Concealer:
Rosacea sufferer Bruno, 35, from Hampshire tests out the Kalme Chameleon Concealer SPF20.
Bruno says;
"I was very sceptical about using a concealer on my skin, I did not want to look like I was wearing makeup. But I have to admit the results were unexpected. My skin looked much more even and less blotchy yet it really didn't look like I was wearing makeup. I have been wearing the concealer every day for a week and the only comment I've had about it so far is how good my skin looks and that was from one of my male mates."
