The condition, which is marked by red patches of skin on the face – often the cheeks and nose – has no cure. In fact, we have no idea what really causes Rosacea yet. While there are medications to treat the symptoms, they often don’t work long term and can damage the delicate skin tissue over time. However, there are several ways to calm the and help control the flare ups. Check out these tips to keep the condition away.

Find your triggers
Whether it’s food, stress, weather, or alcohol figuring out what causes your flare-ups can mean controlling Rosacea or living with it. Triggers can vary, but if you can narrow down when the blotchy skin appears, you get tight or tingly, or the itching and irritation starts, you can keep the visible symptoms at bay.

Wear the right makeup
I know I say it all the time, but it’s because it’s true, Jane Iredale is a skin care makeup and has a number of ingredients designed to help Rosacea symptoms. Finding the right color to cover the red is important as well. Something with more yellow or green will help reduce your pink from bleeding through your coverage.
Learn to love your SPF
It’s important to protect your skin from the sun’s rays, so be sure to apply sunscreen everyday. Something with Zinc and Titanium and as little chemical as possible. Zinc is a natural anti-irritant. Remember the suns rays are damaging so creating any kind of additional irritation is bad!
Avoid harsh facial products
When it comes to selecting a face wash or a cream, be sure to avoid products with drying ingredients like alcohol, witch hazel, artificial fragrances and salicylic acid. Look for products that don’t clog pores, and know when to seek a professionals (that’s me!) advice.

3 Reasons You Need a Facial

temp-post-imageWho doesn’t like receiving a relaxing facial? There are many reasons why it is enjoyable to melt into the esthitician chair, however, facials are also an essential part to having radiant skin. We have three reasons why everyone should come in to experience this one-of-a-kind treatment.

Cleansing
For starters, a facial gives your skin a deep cleaning. Think of all the things your skin comes into contact with in a day. From outdoor pollutants to makeup, it can all build up. A facial gets rid of toxins and dead skin and brings out your natural skin tone. Plus, it keeps your pores from making too much oil. By decreasing the amount of oil on your face, you decrease breakouts. The exfoliation process helps your skin stay firm and tight, keeping those wrinkles at bay.
Stress relieving
It’s not a coincidence that you feel refreshed after a facial. Not only do facials exfoliate and moisturize your skin, the treatments also increase blood flow and promote circulation. For many women, taking a few minutes to get a facial is “me time,” a time to relax and forget about work, car pools and dinner recipes. The whole treatment is a stress reliever.
Age-fighting
Routine facials can help fight wrinkles, but there are certain additions you can tack on to help your skin stay wrinkle free. Intense pulsed light and some laser treatments are known to stimulate and promote collagen growth, which keeps your skin from sagging.

There are many different kinds of facials. I would be happy to suggest the best one for you.
