Rosacea skin condition, How to treat it

Rosacea skin is characterized by redness, usually on the cheeks and chin. Rosacea can also have pimples, pustules and couperouse (broken blood vessels) in the area. There are several triggers for this type of skin condition which is bacteria, genes, too much sun, overexposure to heat and cold and even spicy food can cause a reaction.

Some treatments can include a topical anti-inflammatory. It is also worth noting that a scrub, or exfoliant with crushed shells is more harmful to your skin. Caffeine, feverfew, chamomile, green tea and bamboo all reduce rosy patches. For women, there are a few makeup products over-the-counter to reduce or minimize the redness from concealers to green-tinted powders.

Avoid scrubs and peels, as well as heat from (steam room and hot beverages). Harsh ingredients such as vitamin c and alpha hydroxy acids can also cause redness. These products can tear about the skin's outer shield, allowing harmful substances to get in.

People with rosacea skin can still enjoy a calming, soothing facial and receive a good skin care regimen to use at home.
