With over 16 million Americans are looking for a natural cure for rosacea. Alternative treatments for rosacea are becoming ever more popular as people are tired of expensive prescription medications, laser treatments and over the counter products that don't always work.
7 Simple Tips that all rosacea sufferers should follow include:
-Washing with cool or warm water, never hot water.
- Never use abrasive cleansers or wash cloths. Treat your skin gently
- Blot your skin gently, never rub hard and always use a soft towel.
-If you use a make up for rosacea, wear only oil free and non-comedogenic type. Also apply lightly because too much make up can trap bacteria and clog pores.
- When you have a flare up, treat it sooner rather than later to prevent long-term damage.
- Apply at least an SPF 8 sunscreen everyday to prevent UV induced symptoms. The sun is often the number 1 reason for flare-ups.
- Monitor your diet daily. By avoiding alcohol, hot beverages and/or spicy foods you can greatly reduce the number and severity of Rosacea flare-ups.
Rosacea comes in 4 stages. Pre-rosacea is the early stage and you'll notice that your face is a littler redder more often due to dilated blood vessels. Mild rosacea is where the flushing starts to appear more frequently for longer periods of time, especially after you've been exposed to a trigger such as exercises, excess heat or cold, emotions and stress, or irritants.
Moderate rosacea is where facial flushing becomes more frequent and intense, vascular damage occurs. This can result in long lasting redness, swelling and inflammatory papules and pustules. Telangiectasia (damaged micro blood vessels, often visible on the surface of the skin) may be noticed in the areas where flushing is worst. The last state, severe Rosacea is characterized by intense bouts of facial flushing, pain, severe inflammation, swelling and burning sensations. Sufferers may develop intolerance to products they were able to use before. Also inflammatory papules, pustules and nodules may be present. Some experience a bulbous enlargement of the nose, known as rhinophyma. This is just a guide, you may of course experience symptoms outside these ranges.
Alternative Treatment for Rosacea. This Natural Treatment for Rosacea includes:
- The combination of several natural anti-inflammatory ingredients long known to decrease visible flushing and redness. These botanicals work to help constrict blood vessels near the surface of the skin.
- A bacterial fighting agent to help kill bacteria. This is important to prevent breakouts which are common rosacea symptoms.
- Boosting collagen production. Rosacea skin is often damaged and thinned out, due to weak collagen networks, inflammation, and age. Boosting collagen production can help the skin heal faster and look much better.
The key to managing skin with Rosacea is recognizing that the skin is suffering an inflammatory response. Absolutely no way should harsh cleansers and toners be used. The natural oils on the skin must be regulated to allow the skin to form its own defenses against any harmful bacteria or environmental distress. We recommend the following regime as a starting point for treatment. - 32378
