4 Powerful Products for Rosacea.

/

Did you know that April is Rosacea Awareness Month?

Did you know that I suffer from Rosacea? I never knew this until recently.

I do blush easily and get very "red" and irritated when eating certain foods, drinking wine, or from just plain stressed, or even excited. I thought it was just me, and I have learned to cope with it over the years.

For me, it is mild. But for some it can be really life-altering. Thanks to a slew of products made specifically to combat this redness and rosacea itself, it doesn't have to be as bad.

If age spots and hyperpigmentation is your battle, see how SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense helped to get rid of my hyperpigmentation in this post.

Being that is is Rosacea month, I have learned a few things. Rosacea affects upwards of 45 million people worldwide. An estimated 16 million Americans have Rosacea and most of them don’t even know it. I did not know it, but just doing a few quick tests can tell you is you have rosacea or are prone to get it.

  • If you have a glass of red wine (or two) and your face flushes or feels warm, you have (or will develop) Rosacea.
  • If you exercise or are out in the cold and your face stays flushed for 15-30 minutes after you are resting or back inside, you have (or will develop) Rosacea.
