The Gentle Art of Rosacea Care

Rosacea is a skin condition that affects a large portion of the population, with an estimated 45,000,000 rosacea cases world-wide. Many times, those who experience rosacea are unaware that they were afflicted with the condition. Rosacea commonly occurs on the face and neck area and appears as red or flush patches of skin. To date there is yet a cure for rosacea, but technological advances have made it possible to calm and treat rosacea.

Cosmederm-7, also known as strontium, is an ingredient used today to treat rosacea and found in many Rosacea Care products. Strontium is a chemically similar to calcium and is widely found in nature and in the human bodyy. Strontium was discovered by Dr. Gary Hahn to have powerful anti-irritant abilities, as well as dramatically suppress sensory inflammation and irritation.

Strontium, as utilized in Rosacea Care Calming Lotion with Strontium, has been research and clinically proven to significantly block the burning, stinging, itching and redness response that is commonly caused by irritating ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, acne fighting ingredients, vitamin C and other cosmetics. Strontium has shown to be successful in not only preventing irritation from occurring, but also in decreasing existing irritation. Strontium works by blocking neurogenic inflammation, thus blocking sensory irritation. Due to its extensive capabilities, strontium has been patented and perfected.

Vitamin K is also used in many of the unique Rosacea Care products. Vitamin K is an essential nutrient to aid in the blood clotting ability of the body. This mechanism thus provides healing of the blood capillaries or vessels that have become enlarged or have burst. These dilated or broken blood vessels are commonly called telangiectasia and are seen at the surface of the skin. Telangiectasia is not only a sign of poor blood circulation, but is also unsightly to the eye. Vitamin K works by strengthening the capillaries. Vitamin K has long been used by plastic surgeons to treat post-bruising of the skin and can favorable to take internally as it helps reduce under eye puffiness or bags, and dark circles around the eye area, such as with Eye Cream with Vitamin K from Rosacea Care.

Like most sensitive skin conditions, rosacea tends to make the skin more sensitive to UV sun exposure. Keeping the skin well protected against the sun is essential to keeping the complexion calm, as rosacea sufferers are likely to burn more quickly and have a rosacea flare-up after prolonged sun exposure. Wearing protecting clothing, including a hat, as well as a powerful sunscreen such as Rosacea Care Sunscreen "30", which provides SPF 30 protection, is key.
