Aternative Treatments For Rosacea

With over 16 million Americans suffering from rosacea, alternative treatments for rosacea are becoming ever more popular as people are tired of expensive prescription medications, laser treatments and over the counter products that don’t always work.

Daily Tips That All Rosacea Sufferers Should Be Practicing:

- Wash with water that is lukewarm, not hot.

- Use our gentle (non-abrasive) cleansers applied with the fingers, not a cloth.

- Blot your skin gently, never rub hard and always use a soft towel.

- If you wear makeup, choose only oil-free and/or non-comedogenic products. Always apply light layers of makeup because too heavy of an application can trap bacteria and oil inside the pores.

- Flare-ups cause skin damage, so try to treat them as soon as possible.

- Apply at least an SPF 8 sunscreen everyday to prevent UV induced symptoms. The sun is often the number 1 reason for flare-ups.

- Monitor your diet daily. By avoiding alcohol, hot beverages and/or spicy foods you can greatly reduce the number and severity of Rosacea flare-ups.

There are several stages of rosacea. The first sign is dilated blood vessels that seem to stay around longer than usual. This is called pre-rosacea. The next stage, called mild rosacea is where the skin stays red for a longer period of time after a flare-up trigger such as heat, cold, stress, exercise, or topical allergens.

The next stage is moderate rosacea. This is where vascular damage starts. Now flushing happens more frequently and is much more intense he final and last stage is called severe rosacea where there are long periods of facial flushing accompanied by pain, burning, inflammation, and swelling. Some people may experience extra sensitivity to your favorite skin products and excess, thick skin may appear around the nose area. This bulbous condition is called Rinophyma.

Alternative Treatment for Rosacea. This Natural Treatment for Rosacea includes:

- The combination of several natural anti-inflammatory ingredients long known to decrease visible flushing and redness. These botanicals work to help constrict blood vessels near the surface of the skin.

- A bacterial fighting agent to help kill bacteria. This is important to prevent breakouts which are common rosacea symptoms.

- All natural collagen booster. In rosacea skin, collagen networks are weakened due to inflammation, bacteria, and age. By strengthening the collagen and skin you can help prevent flare-ups, help the skin heal faster, and help it to look better faster.

The key to managing skin with Rosacea is recognizing that the skin is suffering an inflammatory response. Absolutely no way should harsh cleansers and toners be used. The natural oils on the skin must be regulated to allow the skin to form its own defenses against any harmful bacteria or environmental distress. We recommend the following regime as a starting point for treatment.
