RED FACE RECOVERY
BY SDS REJUVENATE
Rosacea is a potentially
life-disruptive blood
vessel disorder of the
face affecting women and
men. The skin condition
typically begins after age 30
as redness on the cheeks,
nose, chin or forehead.
Over time, redness often
becomes ruddier and more
persistent, and blood vessels
may appear. Left untreated,
pustules often develop and
in severe cases skin may
swell and thicken. According to the NHS, it’s estimated that as many as
one in 10 people in the UK have rosacea – so what causes it and, more
importantly, can it be treated?
What causes Rosacea? - The cause of rosacea is not fully understood. Your
genetics, immune system and environmental factors may all play a part.
Factors that trigger rosacea cause the blood vessels in the skin of the face
to enlarge (dilate). There are a variety of triggers that may make rosacea
worse. These include alcohol, exercise, high and low temperatures, hot
drinks, spicy foods and stress. Rosacea can be sun sensitive and is not
contagious.
How can Rosacea be treated? - The inflammation that accompanies
rosacea can be treated with preparations applied to the skin or taken
by mouth; however, not all these will help the redness or blushing that
may be associated with rosacea. In some cases your GP may prescribe
antibiotics, these are helpful for the inflammatory element of rosacea.
There is no cure for rosacea, however lifestyle
and diet can help keep it under control,
combined with the following products and
treatments;
Obagi - Obagi medical products can be used
to minimise both the causes and appearance of
the condition. Using a combination treatment

down overactive oil glands that tend to clog the affected area resulting in
