A SKINCARE fan shared an unconventional technique she uses to curb rosacea.
She revealed that she uses a shampoo $10 as an effective face wash.
Editor GuiltyBluebird2339 shared the skincare hack in a post.
She explained that she occasionally gets candidiasis infections caused by the proliferation of fungi in places like the skin, belly or mouth.
Candida symptoms can include itchy skin, rashes, blisters, pain, irritation, burning, and discharge.
“I have rosacea and sometimes I get thrush,” she said.
“[It’s] very itchy when I sweat. My doctor told me to start using Selsun Blue as a shampoo and body wash for my face.”
While the technique isn’t suitable for everyone, she explained that it worked wonders for her.
“The problems are not for everyone, but my rosacea has improved and the rashes have disappeared,” she said.
Another benefit she has noticed is the reduction in dry, flaky skin and compliments received from strangers.

“Ten dollars/bottle/month, and it’s the only thing I use alongside mascara. (Full disclosure, also spent [money] on Botox, which I will never give up). Worth every penny.
Selsun Blue, an anti-dandruff shampoo with 1% zinc pyrithione, is formulated to “prevent and eliminate itchy scalp and visible flakes.”
“Selsun Blue Moisturizing Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is a maximum strength formula with 1% selenium sulfide as an active ingredient to help prevent and eliminate itchy scalp and visible flakes associated with dandruff,” Target’s website says.
Buyers praised the shampoo’s effectiveness in treating skin problems.
“I have really bad eczema and the rashes on my scalp are a scaly mess,” wrote one reviewer.
“This shampoo was the ONLY thing that worked for me.
The trick, however, is to establish a routine schedule for its use.
“You have to stay consistent when using it, and that took a few weeks,” they said.
“But after a few weeks, my outbreak subsided and I had NO flakes anymore.”
They were shocked that the shampoo worked better than the prescription products they had.
“This works better than the medicated eczema shampoo I took,” they said.
