‘Rosacea is a chronic skin problem that is not well understood’ and characteristically affects people with pale skins, blue eyes and generally starts in middle age. People with darker skins also get rosacea, but the signs are less florid. It is always associated with redness of the skin, often with small papules (or lumps) which may becomes pustules. It may resemble acne but if you look closely at the skin, you will not see any blackheads. The skin feels uncomfortable and usually the central areas of the face are involved. While this is a chronic disease, in some cases there are periods of remission, and at other times, it is worse. The cheeks are generally cherry red, especially close to the nose – due to telangiectasia (dilated, ‘broken’ blood vessels). Very often, dilated blood vessels are prominent markers, but in general, the pinkness of the skin is due to actinic damage to the underlying microscopic blood vessels. The nose is almost always involved and after many years, may become thickened and misshapen. A potato-nose (called rhinophyma) is always due to this condition.
‘No one knows the exact cause of rosacea at this stage.’
Because in the past, we, with oily skins have used products which left our skin feeling greasy, oilier, or on the other end of the spectrum too tight, we think that we can get away with not using a moisturiser, and that our skin might not need a moisturizer after all. However, this is bad for your skin. No matter how oily and hot skin feels, it needs a balanced, Vitamin-A based moisturizer (such as Environ’s B-Active Sebugel A) to prevent dehydration and poor skin nutrition in the long run. In addition, nowadays there is also no leaving home without a Sunscreen, no matter what skin type / condition you have.
How many of us think … if only something natural exists to keep us young-looking? “I don’t agree with Botox and other invasive methods to keep me young, but I don’t know what I’ll do when I start showing signs of ageing! Many in desperation I might start doing Botox,” many clients tell me. But ladies (and gentlemen), there are natural ingredients which will help preserve your skin’s natural firmness. It won’t be anything over-the-top, or anything artificial, or anything too-much – in the sense that your skin won’t look too stretched or too plumped up, or too thin. It will look naturally good.
The skin care Environ uses nature’s own helpers in the form of vitamins and antioxidants to help you preserve your skin’s natural firmness with noninvasive methods.
