how to help my mom's self-confidence?
I'm 14 and my mom's in her late forties. She has rosacea(it's where you're blood vessels in your face get dialated which causes your face to get all red and flushed). For as long as I can remember, she will not go anywhere without putting some foundation on. She get's so self concious about it, and it IS noticable since it's so red but I'd never point it out. I know how much women care about their appearance and how much flaws can hurt your self-esteem. I feel bad for her but I don't know what to do. She doesn't feel pretty and she's flat out said it before. But she's got long blonde hair, blue eyes, and a great smile. So it's just the rosacea. Again though, it makes me so sad to think that she feels this way and I just want a way to help her out a bit with self esteem and all. So thanks in advance and hope you all have a good day!

Your opinion is probably THE most important opinion on earth to your mom because you're her daughter. Tell her how beautiful you think she is and that she looks good without makeup, even with her condition. The more you tell her this, the more confident she'll begin to feel and will probably wear less makeup over time.

You sound like a sweet daughter to want to help your mom out. Someone's self-confidence a personal thing, so don't be hard on yourself if your mom feels down. She is an adult who is responsible for her own happiness. That being said, maybe try complimenting her on some of the things you said above. I bet it would mean a lot coming from you :)
On a side note: Has she ever used a green primer? Loreal makes an inexpensive one. The green is supposed to "cancel out" the red. Just put the primer on before foundation. Anyways, best of luck.

I know that Rosacea can be demoralizing. I know a couple of gals that have it. But there is far more to being a woman than having a minor medical problem. My point would be that someone like her enough to produce you. I am sure plenty of other single men, like myself, would be glad to get to know her.

Tell her she's beautiful when she least expects it. Like when you're driving in the car or something just say "mom, i think you're so pretty" it will go a long way.
