Can I use aloe gel and black currant oil with rosacea?

Good afternoon, I am writing to ask you for advice on the use of aloe vera gel mixed with blackcurrant oil. I suffer from rosacea with small capillaries on my cheeks and red pimples; I have heard very well about the aloe vera gel combined with black currant oil to alleviate my problem. The only thing that scares me is that currant oil, although it is excellent for improving circulation, can be comedogenic and I have also read that aloe gel, despite being an excellent anti-inflammatory, makes the capillaries dilate, this thing has me a lot worried … will its use cause new capillaries to appear on my face? I ask you for a professional opinion. Thanks in advance

Dear Rita, as a naturopath (and not only) I am used to working investigating and acting on the cause of the imbalance and not on the symptom. The remedies you are talking about are effective, yes, but not in the long term, and in any case they are not decisive. Rosacea is the consequence of inflammation, the cause of which must be sought in a correct and balanced diet to be customized according to its conditions. More than currant oil for external use, I would integrate with the macerate orally together with other solutions that can be evaluated in an individual and personalized check.

Yes, of course Rita, it could be one of many solutions. For what she calls red pimples, it should be understood if they really are. If they are part of rosacea or if they belong to an “inflammation” of a different strain. In the meantime, also try to modify your diet and treat the intestine with specific enzymes.

good evening, I recommend a topical cream witch hazel virginiana applicable 2 times a day or witch hazel water to be applied with a cotton ball in the most evident areas of telangiectasias, rosacea. moreover, it is good to adopt a diet rich in vitamin C in particular cranberry, berries in general and avoid excessive consumption of animal proteins (especially red meats).
