Acne Rosacea Skin Care Tips - Mineral Makeup

March 6th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

Acne rosacea skin care goes beyond just the medications and skin treatments that address the irritating symptoms of this skin condition. The use of makeup can become a significant factor in whether or not your rosacea symptoms are exacerbated and skin irritation occurs.

New Rosacea-Friendly Makeup Products

Fortunately, the cosmetics industry is becoming more aware of the needs of rosacea sufferers. They have started introducing skin care products with formulations which are based on natural and organic ingredients. They can usually be found on the shelves of better cosmetics counters or online at sites such as The Skin Store.

We believe that a note of caution is in order about using makeup if you suffer from rosacea. Most cosmetics on the market today contain a wide range of chemicals, fragrances and dyes. It is these artificial ingredients that tend to aggravate and irritate sensitive skin, like the epidermal effects of acne rosacea. In addition, more chemicals are added as a preservative to increase the shelf life. Remember — When buying rosacea makeup, natural is always better.

In fact, look specifically for all natural ingredients in your rosacea makeup products. Another factor is to make sure that the rosacea makeup is made for your specific skin type.

Mineral Makeup - All Natural Rosacea Solution

For those who choose to wear makeup, mineral makeup is an excellent choice for rosacea sufferers. This all natural makeup contains no artificial ingredients that can commonly lead to allergic reactions. Dermatologists often recommended mineral makeup to women with sensitive skin, especially rosacea. This is so because of its intrinsic skin soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.

Should You Try a Natural Rosacea Treatment?

December 27th, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

If you have been searching for a rosacea treatment that will provide relief to your aggravated skin, I am sure that you have wondered about trying a natural rosacea treatment product. Perhaps you were hesitant because you didn’t believe that a natural product could be strong enough to relieve your symptoms, or you just weren’t familiar with the product’s botanical and organic ingredients.

Why A Natural Treatment For Rosacea Might Be Just Right For You

Well, we believe that the key to treating your sensitive skin is not to apply harsh and strong chemicals, but to use a more natural treatment that is not likely to further aggravate your skin. An ideal starting point for the management of your rosacea condition is a natural treatment for rosacea.

And if this approach doesn’t work to your satisfaction, you can always pursue a more aggressive treatment plan, i.e. chemical based, prescription, etc.. Of course, if you have tried this treatment route and found the medication or lotion only aggravated your rosacea-affected skin, then perhaps a gentler, more natural approach will be just what you need.

How The ZENMED® Skin Support System Works

This all natural rosacea treatment combines the best botanical and natural ingredients available for the health and relief of stressed skin. Rosacea not only aggravates your skin, but puts it under a considerable amount of stress. The answer to rosacea skin relief is to treat the inflammation of the skin, eliminate the bacteria, and increase the skin’s collagen to strengthen the skin.

This three-pronged approach is where the ZENMED product excels. Their System provides:

1) The fusion of all-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.

2) The addition of all-natural bacteria fighting agents to work immediately to help kill any causative bacteria on the surface of the skin to prevent the breakouts that often accompany Rosacea.

3) The use of all-natural collagen boosters. Collagen networks within the skin are often weakened in people that suffer from Rosacea. These networks need to be maintained and strengthened and since they naturally weaken as you age, helping boost them is vital in preventing flare-ups and making the skin heal faster.

The Natural Rosacea Treatment Designed For Your Needs

So, if this approach to treatment sounds right for you, we suggest that you try the ZENMED® Skin Support System for a minimum of 4-6 months to gage the effectiveness on your skin condition. We believe, and we think you will too, that a natural rosacea treatment is an ideal starting point for addressing your symptoms.

Identify Your Rosacea Triggers With This Helpful Tool

If you are like many rosacea sufferers, identifying your rosacea triggers may seem like unraveling a murder mystery. Possible catalysts for rosacea flare-ups can be very elusive and hard to pinpoint without a plan and the proper tools.

As you have probably read, there are a large number of lifestyle and environmental factors that may be responsible for triggering your flare-ups. One issue in identifying your rosacea triggers is that no individual will be affected by all of the potential triggers, but only be a few factors.

How to Identify a Rosacea Trigger

In an attempt to de-mystify the process for identifying your triggers, there is a logical and methodical process that must be followed. The key to finding out what triggers your rosacea flare-ups is to track your skin condition over a period of weeks.

This tracking process can be simplified by using a log which details the events and environment just prior to a flare-up and what action appears to relieve your symptoms. This is very important because you will begin to see a pattern over time that will make your rosacea triggers much more obvious to you.

Keep Track of Your Rosacea Flare-ups

The National Rosacea Society offers a diary checklist that assists in your documenting any exposure to various common rosacea triggers on a daily basis. These common triggers can range from weather to emotions (i.e. stress), activities (i.e. workouts) and various foods (i.e. spicy). We highly recommend that you use this rosacea diary checklist and, best of all, it is free. You can get your diary at www.rosacea.org

Avoiding Your Rosacea Triggers Is Key

Once you have identified your personal triggers, it is up to you to avoid the specific environmental factor or food that will result in a flare-up in your symptoms. There will be situations when you cannot totally avoid one of these factors, but small adjustments can make a significant difference.

If hot air is one of your triggers and you find yourself at a restaurant where the heat vent is blowing directly on you, ask for another table or change seats with your partner. It becomes very important to be fully aware of your environment and how it may affect you (if environmental factors are your triggers).

We hope that this advice will help you to identify your rosacea triggers and help you to control rosacea flare-ups in the future. Be methodical and persistent in your record keeping and you will enjoy the benefits of fewer flare-ups and a more normal lifestyle.
