Skin care for acne rosacea

April 14th, 2008 by admin

Acne rosacea cannot be treated like typical acne. Because those with rosacea suffer from such sensitive skin and eyes, it’s imperative to use skin care products and seek skin care treatments that won’t aggravate the skin and cause acne rosacea to worsen.

Rosacea is characterized by swollen and red skin on the face. The connection between acne and rosacea is one sided. Acne does not cause rosacea, however, it can trigger existing rosacea. Reversely, rosacea can cause acne, though, the exact reason is not known. It is speculated that acne may occur because of increased blood flow to these areas of the skin. The heat from these blood vessels may encourage bacteria to grow resulting in pimples. Acne rosacea does not consist of black or white heads. Instead, acne rosacea is normally made up of red, cyst-like acne of varying sizes.

There are many triggers that can cause acne rosacea to worsen including extreme temperatures, certain food and drink, and emotions like embarrassment and stress. You should pay close attention to what your triggers might be and then avoid them whenever possible. Additionally, special skin care products and treatments should not contain any kind of alcohol or drying agent. Properties like magnesium, green tea, and hazel nut oil are soothing.
