Taking care of Rosacea the holistic way!

Rudolph may not be the only one with a red nose!  Are you bothered by flushing, persistent redness, pimple-like bumps, and visible blood vessels on your nose and cheeks?  You may be one of the 16 million Americans affected with Rosacea?   It seems like a mystery, but this chronic inflammatory skin issue is most likely connected to digestion.  It is typically common among family members so go ahead, blame them….we won’t judge!  A few obvious digestive related triggers are alcohol and spicy foods which seasoned Rosacea sufferers try to avoid. 

What’s really going on?  It’s pretty simple actually; a rosacea sufferer’s skin is in need of more nutrients and immune cells to combat chronic inflammation.  What occurs next… vasodilation, or the opening up of the blood vessels in an attempt to nourish the skin.  Something else happens, too!  This unwanted, pesky inflammation leads to atrophy of the affected tissue and unwanted thinning of the dermis occurs.  Sadly, a thinner dermis not only contributes to wrinkles and sagging skin but more exposed blood vessels. Ugggh!

Many seek out the help of their dermatologist and find LITTLE relief with all the topical and oral prescriptions they are given.  If this is you, there is ANOTHER way to treat Rosacea with a holistic approach.  Using gentle skincare products to help repair the barrier of your skin is necessary, this includes daily, zinc based sun protection such as Osmosis Protect or Suntegrity.  How about something internal?  Rosacea sufferers also benefit greatly by adding digestive enzymes to every meal and taking a daily probiotic. Are you ready for a secret?  Digestive Health and Natural Defense Harmonized H2Os from Osmosis Pur Medical Skincare have proven very beneficial to help balance the body by delivering medicinal radio frequencies to the cells in the form of water.  In addition to improving your daily skincare routine with more appropriate products, ramping up on internal healers….there is something else and its “electric”.   Skintuition’s regular clientele know all about the benefits of TAMA BlueOnyx Facial Rejuvenation treatments.  This tiny but mighty, microcurrent device does so many things to improve the appearance of the skin.  In regards to Rosacea, it does wonders to calm inflammation and it is visible during treatment!  Regular treatments are recommended and can even be done weekly.
