Glow Into Spring: Celebrate National Self-Care Day & Rosacea Awareness Month
April not only brings National Self-Care Day but is also Rosacea Awareness Month, a great opportunity to focus on skin health, especially for those who struggle with redness and sensitivity. At XO Aesthetics, our expert team is here to help you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin with advanced treatments and skincare solutions tailored to your needs.
Rosacea Awareness Month: Know Your Triggers
Rosacea is a common but often frustrating skin condition that causes redness, visible blood vessels, bumps, and sensitivity. If you have rosacea, it’s essential to identify and minimize your triggers, which can include:
- Sunlight – Always wear sunscreen to prevent flare-ups and long-term damage.
- Hairspray – Aerosols can aggravate sensitive skin; opt for fragrance-free options.
- Heat & Cold – Extreme temperatures and wind can lead to increased redness.
- Stress – High stress levels can worsen symptoms, so make time for self-care.
- Alcohol & Spicy Foods – These can cause flushing and irritation.
- Exercise – While healthy, intense workouts may lead to increased redness.
- Certain Medications – Some drugs, like blood pressure medications, can contribute to flare-ups.

The good news? There are advanced treatments that can help calm rosacea and improve overall skin texture! At XO Aesthetics, we offer:

Rosacea-Friendly Skincare Essentials
Pairing professional treatments with the right at-home skincare routine is key to managing rosacea. We recommend:

- Alastin HA Immerse Serum & Plated Intense Serum – Deeply hydrates, repairs, and reduces inflammation for a more even complexion.
- Sunscreen is a MUST! Our top picks include Colorescience, Alastin Hydratint & ZO Skin Health Smart Tone SPF to protect against sun-induced flare-ups and long-term damage.
Spring Clean Your Skincare & Makeup
Did you know expired skincare and makeup can irritate your skin and even worsen rosacea symptoms? Now is the perfect time for a spring clean-out! Check expiration dates – Old products can harbor bacteria and lose effectiveness. Toss anything older than 6-12 months – Especially liquid and cream-based products. Wash your brushes & sponges – Bacteria buildup can cause breakouts and irritation.
National Self-Care Day: Treat Yourself!
Self-care isn’t just a trend—it’s a necessity! This April, treat yourself to one of our favorite skin-rejuvenating treatments, like our exclusive BioRePeel (April promo!) to brighten, smooth, and refresh your complexion. Whether it’s a HydraFacial, Glo2Facial, or BBL PhotoFacial, investing in your skin is one of the best forms of self-care.
