Due to medical reasons I have to do a quick blog and will be out for a few days.
ROSACEA PEARLS

1. ROSACEA: condition of the skin that makes your face always look red, with or without acne and with or without broken blood vessels.
PEARLS:
*Avoid red wine, hot spices, being on a warm or hot environment, try to avoid or reduce stress, ALL these factors induce flushing of the skin which then in turn makes your face look red.
*Dermatological therapy: Oral antibiotics, isotretinoin, topical medications such as metrocream, benzoyl peroxide (sometimes), topical antibiotics.
*Dermatologic procedures: pulsed dye laser, IPL, photodynamic therapy, chemical peels.
*Makeup: you can use Diroseal which has a green tint and thus lowering the intensity of the redness on your face. You can use bare minerals, dermablend fondo tinta correctore, among others.
*ROSACEA IS A CONDITION THAT CAN BE CONTROLLED BUT YOU NEED MAINTENANCE THERAPY.

Take care,
