Rosacea: New Strategies

Rosacea is a neuro vascular disorder that affects 14 million Americans. It can be controlled using the right ingredients, but many conditions will worsen if you use the wrong ingredients and don't use the right techniques in your home care regimens.

Thank you very much, very useful information! One thing I'm wondering about: when you say that certain things, such as coffee, alcohol, and exercice, are bad for rosacea patients, do you mean they can cause temporary flare-ups or do you mean they can permanently make the condition worse?

@Dominiekske Hi, the triggers for rosacea vary from person to person. Anything that causes vaso-dilation has the potential to create flushing/blushing in a rosacea-prone skin. The condition is progressive so the more flushing/blushing triggers you encounter the greater the potential for progression of the disorder into papules and pustules and beyond. These flare-ups may be short lived but too many strong ones will increase the speed of rosacea progression. Control the triggers!

This is the most informative information I have seen so far. Most websites/ videos are about rosacea. I already know it's basics but you broke it down very specifically. Do you recommend any drugstore products? And do yo reconmend avoiding alcohol in products or does it matter?

[SkinCareTV]

@ucantresiist Thank you for your comments and support...it is appreciated :-) I definitely recommend that you avoid all pure alcohol forms - SD Alcohol, Ethanol, Alcohol Denatured for example. Fatty alcohols like cetearyl, stearyl, cetyl alcohol are OK - check out cetostearyl alcohol at wikipedia for more info on how they are used in formulations. Most drug store cleansers are detergents - so bad for rosacea. A bland non retinol non fragranced non irritant based moisturizer will be fine.

waht do u think about using a laser to get rid of the redness? i heard that works.

[SkinCareTV]

@ddtoots Laser will work to provide a short term solution - it cauterizes the blood vessels. They will re-appear - that is part of the ongoing nature of this condition. I do not believe in laser too often because blood vessels feed the skin cells and are thus play an essential role in keeping the skin healthy. Even after laser treatment, do as per the suggestions in the video to ensure ongoing strong yet calm skin.
