I've tried finding this in the book but can't find anything specific - should rosaceans use essential oil products e.g. lavender, chamomile, rose, rosehip etc? I had been using a product called AD Skin Synergy Nourishing Oil - basically an organic essential oil product which claims to be good for rosacea. So I used it for probably 5 days in which time my skin was plumping up and looking slightly less red and I thought I may have cracked it - but then I had a really bad rosacea breakout just where I had been using it. I know Paula Begoun (sp?) doesn't rate essential oils and I can appreciate that they certainly can be irritant - do any other rosaceans use them or do you avoid them?
