Rosacea Skin Care

February 6, 2009




rosaceaRosacea is a common skin problem. According to a study, about 45 million people around the globe suffer from this skin problem. Even then strange but true that 14 million Americans suffer from this skin disease, yet they have no idea about this skin condition.

Rosacea not only affects the skin but also affects the eyes. Rosacea has certain symptoms. Usually the skin turns red and the effected areas are usually the nose, forehead, cheeks and the chin.

What causes Rosacea is yet to be known. It is believed that this skin problem is hereditary. Some skin specialists suggest that using hot water for shower or bath, too much exposure to the sun, using harsh chemicals on the skin and too much of spicy food can cause this problem. Others argue that too much stress, drinking alcohol, menopause and even some medicines can also cause Rosacea.

It is not harmful. There is nothing to ashamed of if you are having this skin problem. All you need is proper care. If you think you are suffering from Rosacea, consult a dermatologist immediately. At the same time, try to figure out if there is anything that is affecting your skin and making the damage worse.

Just because the cause of this disease is unknown does not mean this does not have a cure. If you are not using a sunscreen, then you better start using one now. This helps to a lot extent. Some tend to apply make up to hide the red patches. Organic skin care products such as Always Ageless, Oxy-Balm and Hydra-Tones can also be very helpful.

If it has affected the eyelids then keep the eyelids clean at all times. Wash the eyelids with mild baby shampoo everyday. Remember this is only for the eyelids.

Apart from using a sunscreen you can also go for a laser treatment. That also helps a lot.

Remember, there is nothing to be ashamed of if you are suffering from Rosacea. People with Rosacea tend to segregate themselves from others. Just so you know, there are many public figures that have this skin problem, such as Bill Clinton and Mariah Carey.
