Have you ever wondered why your face becomes red or flushed so easily? Rosacea, a chronic skin condition, might be the reason. Rosacea is an extremely common disease and affects more than 16 million people in the United States. April is Rosacea Awareness Month, and TriDerma is bringing you everything you need to know about the skin disease – what it is, how you get it, and most importantly, how to fight it!
Rosacea is Split into Four Subtypes
Because rosacea has a multitude of signs and symptoms, scientists split up the skin disease into four subtypes. You can experience multiple subtypes at the same time, and each subtype requires its own unique treatment.
Environmental Factors Can Cause Rosacea Flare-Ups
Environmental factors such as sunlight, weather and stress can cause rosacea symptoms to flare-up. Steer clear of extreme weather conditions and apply sunscreen on a daily basis.
Your Diet Plays a Big Role
If you suffer from rosacea, avoid alcohol, hot coffee and tea. These drinks cause your blood vessels to dilate which contributes to increased facial redness. When planning your meals, stick to low-sugar foods and complex carbs for clearer, healthier looking skin.
Rosacea Can Affect Your Psychological Well-Being
Rosacea not only affects your physical appearance, but also has the ability to negativity impact your psychological health. According the National Rosacea Society, 90 percent of patients reported feeling a lack of self-confidence due to their symptoms, and 51 percent said they’ve skipped work because of their condition.
Oatmeal and Aloe Vera Help Soothe Symptoms
Colloidal oatmeal provides a natural barrier over the skin to help protect against irritants that cause flare-ups. Aloe Vera is also great way to provide cooling and healing relief to red, inflamed skin. TriDerma’s Facial Redness Cleanse and Repair Bundle is infused with medical-strength botanicals and Organic Aloe Vera to help fight against rosacea symptoms.
