 Skin care experts report that it is estimated that more than 16 million Americans have rosacea, and most of them don’t even know it!
Rosacea is a chronic facial skin condition that is often confused with acne lesions. People with rosacea have inflammation of the nose, cheeks, eyelids, forehead and chin. Rosacea may appear as skin eruptions that are similar to acne or as prominent spider-like blood vessels. It is not uncommon to see redness and swelling on the face, a stinging sensation on the face, or blood-shot eyes during a rosacea outbreak.
The causes of rosacea are largely unknown by the medical community. You are more likely to develop rosacea if you are between 30 and 50 years old, you blush easily, and are fair-skinned. Women tend to develop this skin condition more often than men, but men who do develop rosacea are typically affected severely.
There is no surefire way to avoid a rosacea outbreak, but skin care experts believe that you can minimize rosacea outbreaks by avoiding exposure to the sun, reducing stress, limit spicy foods, alcohol and hot beverages or other rosacea “triggers.”
The Obagi Rosaclear System has proven to be effective in the treatment of rosacea. The Rosaclear System contains a gentle cleanser that will soothe your skin while removing bacteria and irritating residues. Metronidazole Gel is used for the inflammatory papules and pustules, and the Hydrating Complexion Corrector will protect and moisturize your skin while reducing the appearance of redness. You can get your rosacea under control by contacting Skin Gift today.

Summer can bring on a whole new set of skin problems. Skin is exposed more to the sun which can cause different kinds of damage. UVA rays cause the skin to age at a faster rate. UVB rays burn the skin leaving behind pigment and reddened skin. Rosacea sufferers may have more redness than usual. Acne sufferers may b reak out more severely. In some climates, skin is drier than usual in the summer.
IS Clinical has a powerful serum to deal with all your summer skin issues. Hydra-Cool Serum is a cool, refreshing serum that provides intense hydration without causing breakouts. Centella Asiatica is a botanical proven to be very healing to the skin as well as protecting against free radicals that cause aging.

 A blush on the cheeks is pretty, but the blotchy, red skin isn’t. Many people have red, uneven skin tones and more than 14 million Americans actually have rosacea. Red cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead characterize rosacea. It also may include acne-like pimples in these areas.
Rosacea is most common in fair-skinned people. It’s nearly three times more common in women than men. There is no cure for rosacea so ongoing treatment is critical.
Obagi Medical has introduced a skin care line called Rosaclear to combat these symptoms. The Rosaclear System uses a complete therapeutic approach to clear and calm the skin and treat rosacea. This is a prescription strength line that has been tested by dermatologists.
A few simple steps each morning and night is all that’s needed. First, the Gentle Cleanser calms the skin while removing irritating bacteria. Next, prescription Metronidazole gel is applied to treat the inflammatory acne. Hydrating Complexion Corrector protects, moisturizes, and reduces redness with calming and anti-inflammatory agents. Last, Skin Balancing SPF 30 is used to protect the skin without irritation. Sun exposure can greatly aggravate rosacea. So whether you are a rosacea sufferer or just have red, uneven skin, Rosaclear will leave you calm, cool, and collected.

Rosy cheeks are often seen as the glow of health. Unfortunately, it may actually be a serious skin condition. Rosacea affects 14 million Americans, but very few have been diagnosed. Rosacea shows up as a flushing of the face. In the early or pre- rosacea stage, the redness comes and goes quickly. Mild rosacea begins when the face stays flushed for over a half an hour. In moderate rosacea the flushing happens more often and can become permanent in the central part of the face. Broken blood vessels may be visible and small red bumps may appear. Once you are in the severe stage, the person will appear to have a sunburned appearance at all times. Flushing is frequent and uncomfortable. Some people develop an enlargement of the nose.
Left untreated, rosacea continues to worsen as you age. There are many triggers you can avoid. Sun may be the worst culprit, but cold, wind, hot environments, irritating facial products, spicy foods, alcohol, and stress can also cause rosacea.
An excellent skin care line designed specifically for rosacea is Obagi’s Rosaclear System. The Gentle Cleanser cleans gently and removes bacteria. Metronidazole Topical Gel is used on patients that have inflamed pustules and papules. Hydrating Complexion Corrector protects the skin barrier and soothes the skin. Ingredients like oat glucan, oat kernel, aloe juice, lavender, and licorice cool and calm the skin.
Avoiding sun is very important, but sunscreens can be very irritating to rosacea sufferers. Obagi’s Rosaclear Skin Balancing Sun Protection SPF 30 is designed to protect without stimulating the skin. Calming and anti-fungal ingredients keep rosacea under control.
If you suspect your “rosy glow” may be something more, proper skincare is essential in treating your condition.
