Skin Care Products for Rosacea Sufferers
If you are a rosacea sufferer you will know that your skin is sensitive and easily irritated. You may possibly find it much better to use specially formulated rosacea skin care products that are mild and will not make your problems worse. If you find a preparation results in a stinging or burning feeling then you should stop using it.
A few rosacea sufferers have found that skin care products containing clove oil, menthol, peppermint oil or salicylic acid have resulted in irritation of their skin so be extra careful if you apply a preparation that contains any of these ingredients and use a tiny amount first to test your reactions.
Rosacea sufferers are very often much more vulnerable to the sun’s rays which may cause flare ups. It is important to always apply a high factor sunscreen even when the day is cloudy for best protection. A sunscreen containing zinc or titanium dioxide can be used as these ingredients won’t aggravate the skin.
Some Treatments for Rosacea
It’s important, if you have symptoms of rosacea, that you see a dermatologist or other health care practitioner who is able to give you an appropriate treatment. The most frequent treatment that is prescribed is a combined course of oral antibiotics which is followed by topical medicines, in the form of lotions or creams, which can help control the condition in the long term. All of these lessen inflammation that can reduce the redness that is present in rosacea and can decrease the incidence of flare ups.
The topical medicines enhance the antibiotics effect and help with control over the long term. Some medications very often prescribed are azaleic acid, metronidazole and sodium sulfacetamide with sulfur.
For rosacea sufferers who fail to respond to these treatments or whose rosacea is severe perhaps with disfigurement, there are some other remedies. Laser treatment can be used to treat the visible blood vessels on the skin, dermabrasion may be used or plastic surgery.
Dermabrasion is a procedure that removes the skin’s top layer to leave it clearer. For those people who have thickening of the skin, particularly around the nose, one successful option is plastic surgery which repairs severely damaged areas.
What Ingredients are Used in Rosacea Skin Products?
As soon as the condition is controlled, OTC skin care products can be used effectively. Specially made rosacea skin care products can be bought that are gentle and non-irritating, contain ingredients that have been found to be beneficial for rosacea sufferers and have anti-inflammatory actions.
Some ingredients found of use include Willowherb and Vitamin K. Willowherb has been used for a long time for the treatment of inflammation and burns and is very good for decreasing the redness caused by by rosacea. Vitamin K is essential for the health of the blood vessels and can help to heal the capillaries in the face.
Bio Maple has also been reported to be beneficial in alleviating blemishes and redness and will help to prevent the bacterial growth. It’s extracted from maple trees and has a pH that is similar to the skin.
Cosmetics
Women must also take care when they select cosmetics. Heavy cosmetics is able to block up the pores in the skin and trap oil, which will increase the bacterial growth. An oil free, light cosmetics should be used.
In Conclusion
While rosacea can be a painful and upsetting condition treatments are available. As well as using topical medicines, looking after the skin and being careful of the products you apply to your face, will result in a significant improvement.
