Saving Face - Skincare for Rosacea & Adult Acne
Are you one of the thousands of Irish women who experience the “flush”? No not the menopausal flush but the slow trickle of warmth that stains the capillaries a ruby wash of red within minutes? Resulting in Rosacea, pronounced (roz-ay-sha) the commonly chronic skin condition that batters the confidence and shreds self-esteem as quick as you can say “concealer please”.
Make no mistake Rosacea and Adult Acne are a self image affliction; although different from one another both skin conditions can co-exist, leading to chronic inflammation, swelling and the visible appearance of blood vessels and broken capillaries. This enraged flushing though not curable is highly treatable, targeting the central third of the face spreading its anger across the nose, cheeks and onto the forehead and chin, whilst adult acne can lead to facial scarring and permanent skin damage.
Poorly understood, yet widespread and vastly under diagnosed, how do we save face from the barrage of crimson and ruddy cheeked flare-ups? Benign but aggressive in its effect on our self image and esteem, what is Rosacea /Adult Acne and what treatments are available?
Rosacea and its action of dilation of the small blood vessels and chronic inflammation can be triggered by genetic factors or the following well known triggers: stress, alcohol, spicy or hot foods, caffeine, chronic sun exposure and Ireland's favourite- - cold weather.
