Rosacea is
a chronic condition whose cause and cure is still unknown and,
despite the fact that it is usually not a medically serious complaint,
the affects of Rosacea on an individual's self-esteem can be very
great.
Common symptoms
include sensitive skin, flushing or blushing that occurs easily
and often and lasts longer than normal, rashes and redness on
part or all of the face, often has the appearance of sunburn and
may become worse over time and in the most advanced stages, acne
type pimples from mild to severe.
The stages
of Rosacea vary from mild to severe, the goal is to maintain your
skin, by using the right products and caring for it in the correct
manner, to prevent the condition from getting worse.
The products
you use on sensitive skin or Rosacea are very important, because
these types of conditions are aggravated by certain products and
ingredients. You will want to keep your routine simple and you
need to use a mild cleanser, sensitive skin moisturizer, and non-chemical
sunscreen. Using a calming mask, toner and acne spot treatment
can also be added to your routine, if necessary. Sensitive skin
and Rosacea-type skin, should not use scrubs, buff puffs, harsh
washcloths, hot water, steam rooms-saunas, hot towels, hydroxy
acids and most exfoliants.
Symptoms are
often aggravated by products containing perfumes, dyes, hydroxy
acids, chemical-based sunscreen, make-up and the elements; such
as sun exposure, changes or extremes in temperature, wind, and
consumption of certain foods (including spicy foods, caffeine
& alcohol).
Most people
can find great results by simply using the correct products and
procedures on their skin.
