Apply a liberal amount of tinted UVA/UVB Obagi Rosaclear Skin Balancing Sun Protection to your entire face, reapply if necessary.

Note:  It is very important for rosacea patients to use a good, chemical free, UVA/UVB sun protection as sun exposure is one of the most common triggers for rosacea. This sunscreen is tinted to easily blend with your skin and further minimize redness.

Makeup:

It is o.k. to use makeup after applying sunscreen. Be sure to select a makeup without irritating or unnecessary ingredients such as oil, talc, dyes, preservatives or fragrance (these may be triggers). A great choice is Jane Iredale Minerals, the Skin Care Makeup. These bases act as foundation, concealer, powder and sunscreen all in one (an additional SPF 20). Beneficial ingredients in these products actually enhance the health of your skin. Jane Iredale Minerals is an excellent choice for rosacea patients.
