Rosacea is a skin condition that causes redness and tiny, red bumps on the face. The condition commonly affects the central third of the face, especially the nose, and had periodic ups and downs (flares and remissions). People typically equate rosacea with having a red, flushed face, but for most sufferers, the symptoms go beyond this and can include ‘spider veins’ (visibly broken blood vessels); swollen and painful skin that easily reacts to the sun, skin care products, heat or sweat; stinging or burning skin; and rough, itchy or scaling skin. The underlying cause of rosacea is still relatively unknown, but some experts now believe that rosacea is caused by Demodex mites. Commonly rosacea triggers can include alcohol, hot or spicy foods, emotional stress and heat.
Rosacea causes a range of symptoms, although not everyone will experience them all.
Most people with rosacea have periods when their symptoms are particularly troublesome, followed by periods when their symptoms are less so.
The main symptoms of rosacea include:
These are discussed in more detail below.
Other symptoms associated with rosacea include:
Flushing
Flushing is when your skin turns red for a short period – usually a few minutes. It tends to mainly affect the face, although it can spread to your neck and chest.
In some cases the redness may be accompanied by an unpleasant feeling of heat.
In rosacea flushing is often caused by a certain trigger, such as sun exposure, hot drinks or exercise. See causes of rosacea for more information about possible triggers.
Persistent facial redness
Persistent facial redness (erythema) is like a blush or a patch of sunburn that doesn’t go away, or the sort of blotchy skin often associated with drinking too much alcohol.
This can be upsetting for those with rosacea as people can mistakenly assume they are heavy drinkers.
The redness usually affects the cheeks, nose and chin, but may spread to other areas, such as the forehead, neck and chest.
Visible blood vessels
Over time the blood vessels in the skin may become permanently widened (dilated) and visible. The medical name for visible blood vessels is telangiectasia.
Papules and pustules
If you have rosacea, you may develop round red bumps that rise from your skin (papules) and pus-filled swellings (pustules).
These spots appear on your face and are similar to acne. Rosacea used to be called acne rosacea, but the 2 conditions are quite different.
In rosacea there are no blackheads and the skin is not greasy, but dry and peeling. Rosacea spots also don’t cause scarring.
Thickened skin
In the most serious cases of rosacea the skin can thicken and form excess tissue, usually around the nose. This causes the nose to take on a large, bulbous appearance (rhinophyma).
Rhinophyma is an uncommon, severe symptom of rosacea and takes several years to develop. It almost exclusively affects men.
Apply only calming oils to the skin. Apply Frankincense/Myrrh Blend and add a drop each; Lavender 5ml 10ml and Roman Chamomile 5ml 10ml, on the skin.
Wash your face with the Organic Face Wash, followed by the Anti-aging Organic Face Cream. Test a small area first to ensure it doesn’t further irritate the skin. Do not irritate the skin with strong oils, washes or creams.
Cooling toner – mix 60ml apple cider vinegar and 60ml natural Aloe Vera gel – add 5 drops Rose Geranium 5ml 10ml and 5 drops Roman Chamomile 5ml 10ml and shake well – put the mixture into a spray bottle and use directly on your face, avoiding the eyes.
Collagen 350g 450g 700g and Bone Broth 350g 450g fights inflammation and promotes healthy skin, nails and hair.
Evening primrose oil is high in gamma-linolenic acid, which improves the health of the skin – take 500 milligrams twice a day.
