@happilyalive Like you, I also have very sensitive skin. Spending a lot of my youth outdoors, without sunscreen [you didn't hear about it waaay back then!] certainly has taken its toll.
I use either Ivory bar soap or liquid castile soap on my face, exclusively. Like you, there have been many tries of different moisturizers. I use one marketed by Walmart, their line called Equate, that is for sensitive skin, said to be just like Olay. It has 15SPF in it. I don't use makeup.
Some days it is simply a wet washcloth to clean my face, no soap. By the way, I crochet cotton washcloths to use on my face. Dealing with several health conditions, same as you, remember that our medications can play a big role in how our body reacts. You read already here about hydrating and that's important, too!

Bless you my dear kindred person -- It does sound like our skin tends to be much alike. I too spent a great deal of time outdoors before sunscreen became a thing. Oops, and you are right that the sun did indeed take a toll.
I am heading to our local Walmart tomorrow and will be picking up Ivory bar soap. I'm not certain if our store has the Castille one but will also look for that. After that I will head over to the moisturizer section to get the Equate one for sensitive skin. I do hope it works and is worth a good ole college try. 🙂 Like you, I also don't use makeup as I was warned not to by a dermatologist long ago.
I've never used a crocheted washcloth before but can see where it should come as a perk to a Rosacea face. Are they hard to create? I am new at crochet and knitting. So far, I'm still attempting to conquer the stitches and tension of the yarn. You are also right that our medications can affect our bodies in many ways.
Thank you and please let me know of anything else you think of. I am a willing person to conquer this issue, no matter how many years it takes. I wish you well and also to be a conqueror.
