Have you ever wondered why your face gets red across your nose,
forehead and cheeks? Maybe you've had small eruptions of bumps and tiny blood
vessels begin to show up when you look at yourself in the mirror. Perhaps you
are suffering from a chronic condition called rosacea. You are not alone, you
have nearly fourteen million fellow sufferers, including many famous ones like
former President Bill Clinton.
For most folks who develop rosacea, the
redness doesn't show up until they are somewhere between thirty and sixty years
of age. Although it cannot be cured and the name sounds very scary, the fact is
it can be treated. So don't hide from this embarrassing affliction. There are
skin preparations available, as well as many common sense things you can do on
your own at home to lessen the
symptoms.
For some folks rosacea comes
and then it goes away for a period of time, only to return again at a later
date. So it seems there are certain common triggers and yet some that depend on
the person. One of the big ones is the weather. Hot, humid summer weather, cold
windy winter air,
gucci outlet, and
humidity can make the condition worse. It is important to wear a sunscreen with
a SPF of at least 15, all year round.
If you find that sunscreen itself
is aggravating, choose one made for children, or wear a wide brimmed hat or
baseball cap to protect your face. As the saying goes, only mad dogs and
Englishmen go out in the midday sun, so avoid the hours between 10 a.m. and 2
p.m. Another trick is to retreat to air conditioned environments and avoid
exertion on really hot days. Keeping a spray bottle with cool water handy to
spritz your face is a pleasant way to keep the redness at bay.
A big jar
of moisturizing cream will help to protect your face from the drying wind and
cold. Just make sure that any product you put on your face is advertised as
being safe for sensitive skin. If you are a skier and like to hit the slopes on
cold and windy days, but on a ski mask. This is not the time to be fashionable,
but rather to accept your condition and perhaps hold up a bank while you're at
it. I'm kidding of course.
Different things affect people with rosacea in
different ways. For instance, some folks go beet red when they have a glass of
wine or other alcoholic drinks. If you find yourself getting a glow on while
having dinner at a nice restaurant, perhaps you'll have to cut back, or simply
forgo anything with alcohol. With hot foods and drinks such as coffee, tea,
louis vuitton sale, soup, or hot
chocolate, you can simply wait until it cools off.
It's a different
scenario with spicy foods. If you love hot ethnic foods, such as curries,
nachos, and chili, you can either throw caution to the wind or choose something
on the menu that is not marked with a little red chili pepper. Seasonings such
as red pepper, cayenne, and pepper can trigger flushing as well. However, there
are so many herbs and spices such as oregano, cumin,
ray ban sunglasses, cinnamon, sage,
coriander, and thyme, that you don't have to deprive yourself.
You may
discover, to your dismay,
coach outlet,
that these measures simply aren't working for you, and your skin is not only red
and irritated but breaking out in pimples as well. There are skincare products
available at the counter of your local drug store that may help. However, there
is a cream that many folks swear by to soothe their damaged skin and get the
redness out. It is Pyratine XR which has been proven in clinical trials to
improve skin texture, reduce discoloration, and give you back a face that you'll
want to show off in public again.
