"Rosacea is frustrating and baffling for so many people because its conspicuous signs and symptoms may not only come and go unexpectedly, but they can affect various individuals in ways few might imagine," Dr. Richard Odom, a professor of dermatology at the University of California, San Francisco, said in a prepared statement. This advice and much more information can be found on the website for the National Rosacea at http://www.rosacea.org
Rosacea sufferers can use a variety of skin care products to their advantage. Moisturizers can reduce flakiness and makeups can camouflage symptoms and improve appearance. You may have to experiment until yo find the products that work best for your individual condition. We carry several types of facial moisturizers that can be used to help treat this condition so come in and try one today.
Some of the suggestions to help prevent outbreaks are listed below:
- Steer clear of ingredients that sting, burn or cause facial redness. Some ingredients to avoid include alcohol, witch hazel, menthol, peppermint, eucalyptus oil or clove oil.
- Select fragrance free products. If you must choose a product that contains a fragrance, be sure that it appears at the end of the list of ingredients. The further down it appears, the less fragrance the product contains.
- Use makeup to hide blemishes and cover redness. Spot application of makeup may be used to cover blemishes and visible blood vessels, and use green-tinted prefoundations that are available. Come in today and try any of our products that can be used to help camouflage a flair up. These products are from the makeup line that we carry, the Colorscience line. If you purchase a sample of a product from this line the amount you pay will be deducted from the product's full size price.
