Recent rosacea surveys undertaken on French patients have shown that 70% felt they had to hide their rosacea. In addition, 40% of these patients felt that their visible symptoms caused people to stare at them or reject them, and one in four said that rosacea made them feel dirty and repulsive at least some of the time.

However, such feelings of shame and embarrassment can be eliminated as the condition can be easily prevented and effortlessly treated. The following guide is here to teach you how.

LEARNING YOUR ROSACEA SYMPTOMS

Rosacea can be treated and controlled if it is detected in its early stages but when left untreated it becomes very difficult to contain . It then becomes imperative to recognize the following symptoms and seek medical attention 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 develops 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 subsides.

Bumps on the Nose If rosacea is left to develop, small, knobby bumps may increasingly appear, predominately in men, and the nose and cheeks may appear swollen.

Facial Burning Rosacea can cause an increase in facial burning, stinging, or itching.

MINIMIZING 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 significantly increase body heat such as kitchens, saunas, stress, heavy exercise, sun exposure, and certain foods and alcohol.

EFFECTIVE NATURAL SKIN CARE TREATMENT SOLUTIONS

Sensitive skin is par for the course with rosacea patients, therefore it is vital to only use mild skin care products. Due to this fact the use of a 100% natural rosacea gel is highly recommended over chemical based products in order to avoid unwanted, adverse reactions and side effects.

Furthermore, two natural active ingredients are highly 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.
