Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes inflammation appearing as redness of the face. There is no known cure, but dermatologists agree that good skin care and avoiding certain triggers, rosacea can be manageable.

Dr. Jenny J. Kim, MD PhD FAAD, a dermatologist who spoke at the recent 68th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology, said “”Sometimes it is hard for patients dealing with…rosacea to understand why, even with ongoing treatment, they cannot get rid of their symptoms forever.

I explain to them that [this] condition is similar to having any chronic disease. Just like insulin helps maintain a diabetic’s blood sugar, patients with…rosacea need to find a treatment regimen that works for them.” Rosacea affects about 14 million people in the United States. It’s cause is not fully understood, but common triggers include sunlight, alcohol, spicy foods, caffeine, heat, citric acid, and stress.

If you walk into a store, you will find its shelves filled with so many beauty products. All of them will promise you miracles. All the people do not have the same skin and not all products are suitable for every skin type. If you have sensitive skin, then it needs special care. In this case the best way is to use herbal products.

To prevent having acne problems and keep the skin clean, you have to wash it often. Use a good cleanser that is made for your skin type and avoid using harsh face wash.

In this case I would suggest you to go for a natural cleanser, which you can prepare at home. Add one cup of baking soda with two cups of ground oatmeal. Keep the mixture in an air tight container. To use it, take some of the mixture and add a bit of warm water and make a paste. This will cleanse and exfoliate at the same time.
