What can I do about my rosacea?

Your body goes through hormonal changes during pregnancy. Some facial redness can be brought on by changes in hormones.

If you're interested in learning about possible triggers, you can check out these sites:

There are several reasons why a person might have facial redness. Here are just a FEW other possibilities:

- genetics / heredity / hormones

- medication induced

- allergy / sun sensitivity

- lupus

- hyperpyrexia

- high blood pressure

For an accurate, professional diagnosis you should consult your doctor or a certified dermatologist.

It's always easier to treat something when you know what it is you're dealing with.

Whether you have rosacea or not, there's certainly ways to keep some facial redness under control and less noticeable.

Increase your omega 3 fatty acids by taking supplements such as Evening Primrose Oil, fish oils, etc… And by eating walnuts, hazelnuts, or pecan nuts (if you’re not allergic)

Ground Fennel seeds and Flax seeds, as well as Flax seed Oil supplements (omega 3’s) also act as anti-inflammatories. (reduce redness)

Omega 3’s aid in proper digestion and healthier skin.

Try increasing your intake of vitamin D through supplements (1000 – 4000 IU/day) and B-complex to aid in healthier skin and maintaining a healthier immune system.

Some people have had success using Turmeric orally or topically. (reduce redness & pustules)

Drink more water and avoid all alcohol & caffeine products (coffee, tea, pop, etc..) Alcohol & caffeine will actually dehydrate your skin. Water re-hydrates from the inside out.

When it comes to make-up & skin conditions, less is better, as your skin needs to breathe to heal.

Cleanse:

- It's important to cleanse your skin, but do not over-wash. Your daily facial cleansing routine should be 2x daily, morning & night. Do not scrub as this will irritate the skin & can cause further inflammation.

- Only use gentle, fragrance-free, oil-free, alcohol-free cleansers on your face.

Moisturize:

- Neutrogena makes an excellent moisturizer, simply called "Moisture". It's oil-free, fragrance-free, alcohol-free and they have a type that is specifically made for sensitive skin.

- Use lotion containing certified green algae or aloe vera gel (use lotions, not creams, as lotion is more gentle on the skin and absorbs more easily)

- Earth Science has an herbal facial mist that is an oil-free moisturizer which is sprayed (misted) directly onto your face. If you store it in the fridge, it is very refreshing and helps cool and lower the skin temperature of the face immediately. Because it's a mist, it can easily be applied anytime without further aggravating sensitive skin.

There are products you can buy that are specifically made to help reduce facial redness:

- LaTherapie Paris has a fortifying skin cream that is supposed to help soften high colour (reduce redness)

- There is a face cream called ROSACURE which is an anti-redness cream formulated for reducing redness for rosacea-prone skin types. (even if it's not rosacea)

- Guinot has a face cream called RED LOGIC which claims to neutralize the appearance of red blood vessels.

Here are a few other helpful, (and natural) hints for a better complexion for a lifetime:

- avoid any products with alcohol (internally or externally) Alcohol can actually burn & irritate sensitive or inflamed skin tissue. As well, alcohol is generally a known trigger for most rosacea people.

- try a dairy milk face-soak during a flare-up (as long as you're not allergic) The dairy milk helps to balance the natural PH of the skin. Rinse off with cool/warm water after 15 - 20 minutes.

- avoid extended periods in direct sun (use sunblock for sensitive skin, with 15 - 30 spf)

- avoid extreme weather conditions (hot, cold, windy...)

- avoid really hot things. Hot showers & hot tubs, hot drinks (the heat will dilate blood vessels causing more redness)

- drink pure green tea (matcha), rose hip tea, and fennel tea (great antioxidants)

- eat foods high in anti-oxidants; such as blueberries, cranberries, purple grapes, broccoli, etc..

- avoid spicy foods, greasy foods, and foods with a high refined-sugar content. (these foods disrupt the natural digestive processes of the body)

- try to get at least 7 - 8 hours of sleep each night (aids in the healing processes of the body)

- try to cut down on stress (stress can magnify a multitude of conditions)

You may want to try a more alkaline diet to help reduce the redness.
