An Expert Analysis on Controlling Rosacea
July 2nd, 2009The National Rosacea Society in the United States has been undertaking a wealth of studies and research with regards to identifying the symptoms of rosacea, avoiding the condition to cause flare ups, and applying treatments necessary to counteracting its negative effects.
The following is a short break-down of their findings which should go a long way in assisting you in both controlling and eliminating this debilitating and embarrassing condition for good.
IDENTIFYING ROSACEA SYMPTOMS
Getting on top of rosacea becomes exponentially tougher the longer it is left untreated. For this reason, early detection is of utmost importance. It is vital to recognize the following symptoms and seek medical help as soon as possible.
Flushing/Blushing Face Rosacea causes an increased amount of blood flow in the face, giving the appearance of redness which is commonly mistaken for blushing or flushing.
Dry Facial Skin Rosacea patients commonly suffer from overtly dry skin on the face.
Pimples As rosacea progresses pimples with small blood vessels containing pus develop on the skin’s surface as small, red bumps which differ from regular acne.
Red Lines Rosacea patients may also notice an increase in red lines on the cheeks when they flush stay visable once the overall redness lessens.
Bumps on the Nose If left untreated for a long time, small, knobby bumps may increasingly appear, more so in men, and the nose and cheeks may appear swollen.
Facial Burning Facial burning, stinging, and itching are all products of rosacea.
CONTROLLING THE TRIGGERS
Learning to avoid the triggers that flare-up rosacea is paramount in managing the condition. This may involve avoiding excess periods of time in hot, steamy, unventilated conditions or activities that drastically increase body heat such as kitchens, saunas, stress, heavy exercise, sun exposure, and certain foods and alcohol.
TREATING YOUR SKIN WITH A NATURAL SKIN CARE TREATMENT SOLUTION
Sensitive skin is par for the course with rosacea patients, therefore it is vital to only use mild skin care products. For this reason the use of a 100% natural rosacea gel is highly recommended over chemical based products in order to prevent unwanted, adverse reactions and side effects.
Moreover, two natural active compounds are drastically beneficial in counteracting rosacea. Helix Aspersa Muller glycoconjugates found in snail secretion are rapidly absorbed deep into skin cells thereby maximizing their enzyme’s hydration capacity.
Glycyrrhiza inflata Batalin, found in licorice root extract are extremely effective in reducing sebum output, a major contributor to pimples, while also containing super oxide dismutase antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
One of the only rosacea skin care products on the market to contain both Helix Aspersa Muller and Glycyrrhiza inflata Batalin, paramount in any serum treatment solution, is BIOSKINCLEAR. This 100% natural skin care treatment also contains wonderful moisturizing properties such as hyaluronic acid and a seaweed extract that is also full of antioxidants. All of which should make BIOSKINCLEAR your only natural rosacea solution.
