Recent rosacea surveys involving French patients have shown that 70% felt they had to hide their rosacea. Furthermore, 40% of these patients felt that their visible symptoms caused people to stare at them or reject them, and 24% said that rosacea made them feel dirty and repulsive at least some of the time.

However, such feelings of shame and embarrassment can be eliminated as the condition can be easily prevented and effortlessly treated. The following guide is here to teach you how.

LEARNING YOUR ROSACEA SYMPTOMS

Diagnosing rosacea early is paramount if you wish to both treat and control the condition, as the longer it is left undiagnosed the harder it is to control. It is therefore important to recognize the following symptoms and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Flushing/Blushing Face One of the most obvious symptoms of rosacea is an increased flow of blood in the face, giving the appearance of redness which is commonly mistaken for blushing or flushing.

Dry Facial Skin Dry skin on the face is one of the key indicators of rosacea.

Pimples As rosacea gets worse pimples with small blood vessels containing pus begin to appear as small, red bumps which differ from regular acne.

Red Lines Rosacea patients may also develop an increase in red lines on the cheeks when they flush remain present once the overall redness diminishes.

Bumps on the Nose If no course of action is taken, small, knobby bumps may increasingly appear, predominately in men, and the nose and cheeks may appear swollen.

Facial Burning Rosacea can cause an increase in facial burning, stinging, or itching.

MINIMIZING THE TRIGGERS

Learning to avoid the triggers that flare-up rosacea is imperative if the condition is to be eliminated. This may involve avoiding excess periods of time in hot, steamy, unventilated conditions or activities that significantly increase body heat such as kitchens, saunas, stress, heavy exercise, sun exposure, and certain foods and alcohol.

EFFECTIVE NATURAL SKIN CARE TREATMENT SOLUTIONS

Rosacea and sensitive skin go hand-in-hand and which is why you should only use mild skin care products. Due to this fact the use of a 100% natural rosacea gel is highly recommended over chemical based products if you wish to guard against unwanted, adverse reactions and side effects.

Moreover, two natural active ingredients are drastically beneficial in counteracting rosacea. Helix Aspersa Muller glycoconjugates found in snail secretion are rapidly absorbed deep into skin cells thereby maximizing their enzyme's hydration capacity.

Glycyrrhiza inflata Batalin, found in licorice root extract are extremely effective in reducing sebum output, a major contributor to pimples, while also containing super oxide dismutase antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
