Rosacea
Summary:
Rosacea is a skin condition defined by redness, sensitivity and inflammation. Bumps and papules can also be seen in some advanced cases, that may be initially believed to be acne. Rosacea is a chronic condition influenced by both hereditary and environmental factors.
Symptoms:
Rosacea is most commonly seen in people with fair skin who are over 30 years of age. Typically beginning in the cheek area, sensitive, red, inflamed skin are the key symptoms of rosacea. Although rosacea can be hereditary, most people find environmental factors can worsen the symptoms. Extreme temperatures, sun exposure, spicy foods and alcohol all aggravate redness and sensitivity.
Treatment:
Limiting sun exposure and using sun protection is important to control redness, sensitivity and worsening symptoms. Avoiding triggers, such as extreme temperatures and foods, that may cause inflammation is an important first step. Using a non-sensitizing SPF everyday is essential to protecting delicate skin. Developing a gentle skin regimen that not only calms the skin, but protects and strengthens the skin, as well as reduces signs of inflammation, is essential. Soothing and calming ingredients work to desensitize the skin, while active ingredients promote healing and hydration, stimulating the skin’s cellular response to fight damage due to inflammation.
