Rosacea
This uncomfortable and embarrassing co diction in which the face flushes and reddens is becoming more common . One of the issues with Rosacea is that it can be triggered by any type of extreme, weather hot or cold, wind or sunlight. I often discuss with my clients how they are affected in certain conditions. One client describes her symptoms as ‘ A brisk cold day, with wind and sun is the perfect recipe for my skin to flare up’.
Rosacea typically appears on the face, cheeks, nose, chin and Inbetween the eyebrows, with reports of the person feeling like they are blushing. Whilst the technology of make up to conceal redness and even out skin tone is some co fort to female suffered, what about the unfortunate males who can’t conceal?
Normally we see tiny spidery blood vessels medically recovered to as telangiectasis. However there are so many more sub-types of the condition. Some will experience red/purple deep areas to the face, some have lumps or bumps, even pustular acne. Sever symptoms can result in a bulbous red nose, even the eye area can also become dry and irritated.
Research also shows that certain foods and drinks can aggravate the con diction, alcohol, spicy foods, cheese and yogurts. Generally all food that has a certain amount of histamine should be avoided if you have Rosacea.
Certain antibiotics namely the tetracycline family can be effective , com pounds similar to vitamin A, skin peels, treatment pads and creams, intense pulsed light and laser can all be helpful tools. Sunscreen and a hat is the best deterrent from avoiding flare ups in the hotter months, and avoiding being out in extreme weather for long periods can also help where possible.

It is very common for clients to carry out there own online allergy testing , and whilst some are able to single out trigger products some have poor predictive value.
