GOT ROSACEA?

"The picture of health" usually brings to mind a clear skinned person with slightly rosey cheeks. The picture of health may in fact be a clinical picture of rosacea.

Rosacea often begins with slightly pink or rosey-colored cheeks with a color that comes and goes. As time goes on it can progress to a picture of constant facial redness, almost a permanent wind-blown look.

The many treatment options available can be very confusing. Each treatment seems to have it's own side effects and pitfalls. To heal the skin in as natural way as possible may in fact be the best treatment option.

Follow the simple guideline to cleanse, moisturize and protect the skin from further harm. Find a cleanser that will not irritate or cause further damage to the skin. Some have found that Nutrogena or cetaphil cleansing bars work well.

Moisturize from the inside out by increasing the moisture in the body by drinking more water. Add surface moisture to the skin with a natural product such as jojoba oil.

Protect the skin from further damage by applying a sun screen before going out in the sun.
