Rosacea is one of the most common skin ailments presenting itself as flushing, redness and in some cases lumps and bumps on and around the nose area.

Often confused with acne, (its easy to do), rosacea can also cause some sufferers to experience a burning or irritation in and around the eyelids

What Causes Rosacea

The actual root cause of rosacea is not fully understood… some experts believe that anybody who is prone to blushing is at high risk of developing rosacea… It does seem to be affected by the environment (pollution, diet, etc)  and it is also thought to be hereditary.

A number of celebrities have fought long term battles with Rosacea, include ex US president Bill Clinton, HRH Prince William, Desperate Housewife actress Cynthia Nixon, Hollywood stars Renee Zellweger and Cameron Diaz..

Rosacea can be made worse by exposure to various factors including:

  • High Winds
  • Environmental Pollution
  • Stress
  • Heat (Hot baths are a classic example)
  • Sunlight

 

Experts also agree that alcohol despite may rumours, does NOT directly cause Rosacea, but it could however, aggravate any existing breakouts.

How To Identify Rosacea

The symptoms can vary but usually include:

  • Redness of the fact, ears and/or chest
  • Burning or stinging sensation to the skin
  • Lumps and/or pimples
  • Visible or broken blood vessels

 

How To Treat Rosacea

Doctors will often prescribe antibiotics to treat case of rosacea, Drugs like erythromycin and tetracycline have been show to reduce the problem.. They can be effective, but only in reducing the symptoms, they will not address the root cause and this is why some people have repeated breakouts…. Naturally long term use of these and many other antibiotics can be detrimental to the lover and stomach

Certain natural compounds have been found to have a very high level of effectiveness against rosacea.. they help to reduce the effects of the environmental toxins that can causer rosacea, reducing the appearance of breakouts and also helping to stop the return of the symptoms.. something that drug based treatments do not appear to be able to do.

Some of these ingredients include:

Brewers Yeast – Helps to boost circulation and blood flow to the skin

Boerhavia Difussa Root (often called Mediacalm on product labels) – reduces inflammation and skin sensitivity

Allantoin – An effective moisturiser and a kroklytic ( means that it softens the keratin in the skin, which helps to improve healing and moisture absorption)

Other ingredients to look out for include:

  • Bilberry
  • Gingko Biloba (a really old and proven natural homeopathic remedy)
  • Green Tea
  • Grape Seed Extract

 

Natural remedies are generally far less harsh on the skin, and generally do not cause any other health issues or side effects.
