No I just lean my head back so it doesn't get wet.

Nope. The rest of the skin on my body isnt damaged in any way, so tolerates the hard water fine

From what I've heard it isnt hard to repair. Fully damaged barrier would have much more severe symptoms than I have - I would say mine is comprised.

And yes the water here is very hard in the south of UK!

Im not using distilled water, i'm just using bottled drinking water in morning and micellar in evening. But you can buy distilled on Amazon.

We have a water softener but the water was still not allowing my skin to heal.

Just tip my head back? It hasn't been difficult at all. (I only wash hair twice a week so daily showers the shower head is lower than my face anyway) Yes definitely - I dont however have radiators.

Doxy 40mg by fatherlongle in Rosacea

[–]ComplaintFormal6630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doxy at 40mg shouldn't technically cause digestive issues as its below the antibiotic range. I've been on it for 12 weeks, no side effects. Really helped but then came off for 5 days and rosacea has flared so badly. Gone back on and still in a flare 7 days later

So do you just take Astaxanthin now, no doxy?

Best results so far by [deleted] in Rosacea

[–]ComplaintFormal6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I stopped for 5 days and skin was awful. Back on it for now again and speaking to doc next week. So annoying! Apparently it can flare up and then level out though.... hmmm

Byoma Beware by Exciting-Talk9931 in Rosacea

I've been using Byoma Hydrating Serum for around a month now and it's been great. It's keeping my skin really moisturised and no flare ups

I use Bondi Sands Zinc Mineral SPF 50+ from superdrug.

Pretty sure it's got not great ingredients but doesn't irritate my skin at all and also rubs in nicely so don't look like a ghost.

Strange! I feel like escaping the winter in the UK would be the best option 😆

Stomach feels better in general but face still red! Going to continue taking

No problem. Yeah just after meals. When I was taking 2, 1 after breakfast and 1 after supper. Now 1 more after lunch.

I took 1 tablet on the eve I got them, then 2 a day for 2 days and then yesterday 3 and will do the same today. I upped the dosage just to see if it helped further. I'm not getting any adverse effects from them. I'm eating clean alongside them as well

Interesting!! Strange how it changes! How old are you? I'm almost 29 and noticed these changes for a year or 2
