Hey, my glam fam!

April is Rosacea Awareness Month – and as someone who’s been on the rollercoaster of redness, sensitivity, and surprise flare-ups, I know how tough it can be to find skincare that truly gets it. That’s why I was so excited to see that one of my absolute fave Irish skincare brands, Ella & Jo, is not only opening up the conversation around rosacea this month – they’re also sharing founder Niamh Ryan’s personal journey with the condition.

Let me tell you, this isn’t just a PR angle. Niamh is a qualified skin therapist who’s lived through the exact struggles we talk about behind closed doors – redness, inflammation, emotional stress, and that constant hunt for products that don’t leave your skin feeling angry or tight. Her experience? It’s what shaped the heart of Ella & Jo. And honestly, you can feel that in the formulas.

Here are two Ella & Jo gems that have been absolute heroes in my routine (and trust me, I don’t say that lightly!):

Hydrating Hyaluronic Serum (€42/£40)

This is hydration without the heaviness. Think of it like a big glass of calm for your skin.

Key soothing ingredients:

Hyaluronic Acid: Keeps your skin plump and hydrated, minus the sting. Niacinamide: My holy grail for calming redness and supporting the skin barrier. Aloe Vera & Cucumber Extract: Gentle, cooling, and just lush for that reactive skin moment.

It’s perfect for those days when your skin is feeling tight, hot, or just a bit temperamental (aka most days with rosacea, let’s be real).

Nourish & Glow Superfood Face Oil (€55/£53)

This is like a warm hug in a bottle. Packed with powerful botanical oils that comfort and repair without overwhelming.

Inside the bottle of joy:

Rosehip Oil: Heals and calms while giving you that healthy glow. Jojoba & Evening Primrose Oil: Balance and soothe like a dream. Sea Buckthorn: Barrier-repairing and rich in those lovely anti-inflammatory omega fatty acids.

It’s one of those oils that doesn’t sit on your skin—it melts in. Use it at night or even under your SPF during the day for that lit-from-within vibe.

What I love most about Ella & Jo is that they see us – the people with sensitive, reactive skin who still want gorgeous textures, results-driven ingredients, and that luxe feeling from our skincare. We deserve that too, babes!

So this month, let’s keep talking about rosacea. Let’s support each other, swap tips, and embrace the skin we’re in – redness, flare-ups, and all.

You can check out the full Ella & Jo range at www.ellaandjo.ie – and if you’ve tried their products, let me know your faves. I’m always up for a glam chat in the DMs.

With love (and SPF, always),
