When Rosey Cheeks Aren't A Good Thing

Having never experienced Rosacea, it's hard for me to understand the suffering that millions of people (mostly women) go through trying to deal with this skin condition on a daily basis. After doing a little research on this topic, the one thing I've learned is that this is a very complicated skin condition that is exacerbated easily from various triggers differing from person to person. Although I've known several people through the years who have suffered from Rosacea, I've never met anyone who was able to successfully treat it. To this day, treatments for Rosacea vary on the professional level and opinions differ as to what works and what doesn't. Since the condition is rooted in very sensitive skin, it is important to use a skincare regimen that is designed for sensitive skin. Several skincare companies are now touting skincare lines for people who suffer from overly sensitive, reddened skin and they don't contain the same ingredients that you would find in other products that treat acne, even though Rosacea sufferers do suffer from acne as well, from time to time. Eucerin is one such company, but there are others that are following in their footsteps. The two dermatologists that brought you Proactive, now have a line of skincare for sensitive skin as well. Since there doesn't seem to be a cure for this condition, women often find themselves looking for a make-up that will cover the condition well enough to ward off any embarrassment they experience. Several companies like Dermablend and Sheer Cover are designed to help deal with these kind of conditions, but results vary from woman to woman regarding the effectiveness of the use of these cosmetics. Bottom line is, that most people have to experience trial and error before they not only find what works best for them, but what triggers the outbreaks of this condition. http://www.dentalplans.com/Dental-Health-Articles/At-First-Blush-Dealing-with-Rosacea.asp

Suffered with rosacea for years. And I do mean suffered. My face was always so red that I hated, loathed, despised having my pix taken.

Finally got my skin lasered and what a huge difference. I finally felt normal.

Rosacea can be hereditary...mine is...and after it worsens to a certain degree it can't be treated.

Eucerin reduced the redness by 5%. Surgery reduced it by 95%.
