The Tuel Rosacea Protocol Every Esthetician Needs

Rosacea is more than just a little redness—it’s a chronic skin condition affecting millions of people all over the world. Characterized by persistent facial flushing, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like breakouts, rosacea can be tricky to manage due to its numerous triggers, from spicy foods to sun exposure. But don’t worry! With generations of skincare expertise behind it, Tuel has crafted a results-driven protocol to help estheticians bring their clients lasting relief and glowing confidence.

 

Step 1: Identify and Understand

Before diving into treatment, take a moment to assess your client's skin type. Your mission? To provide both immediate and long-term relief, boosting their overall skin health while minimizing future flare-ups. This is a great opportunity to chat with them about the power of botanicals as a skincare approach and how ingredients such as lavender, chamomile, green tea, and geranium, are known for their soothing and healing properties.

For those battling acne rosacea, steer them towards skincare lines designed to relieve breakouts. Educate them on active ingredients like tea tree, eucalyptus, and clary sage which can be some of their best allies—fighting bacteria, healing, and preventing future blemishes. A targeted serum can work wonders by calming inflammation, soothing redness, and conditioning the skin. And don’t forget a blemish control gel to keep those flare-ups in check.


Step 2: Salon-Grade TLC

When a client calls in distress over a rosacea flare-up, you’ll want to be ready with the ultimate professional arsenal. Here’s what the Tuel pros recommend:

Serum Cocktail:
Blend your way to relief with this power-packed mix:

  • C Power: Brightens, fights aging, gently exfoliates, and protects.

  • Hydrate: Instantly plumps and infuses the skin with hydration, reducing fine lines.

  • Super Soothe: Packed with Canadian willow bark, arnica, and lavender, this calming mask will calm redness and irritation on contact. And it works great as a cream for extreme redness relief.

For clients experiencing Papulopustular Rosacea, level up with this targeted mix: C Power + Rehab + Make Amends + Calm, with a Clear It spot treatment for active breakouts.


Step 3: Home Care for Lasting Results

Your client’s commitment to at-home care is just as crucial as their in-salon treatments. Share these effective tips for managing rosacea daily:

  • Gentle Cleansing: Morning and night, encourage the use of a double cleanser or milk cleanser with lukewarm water to prevent irritation.

  • Consistent Moisturizing: Hydration is key to keeping the skin balanced while reducing irritation, peeling, and roughness. Help them find the right moisturizer for their skin type and skin condition.

  • Sun Protection: Sunscreen isn’t optional—it's essential. Advise clients to apply liberally in the morning and reapply throughout the day to protect against rosacea triggers.
