Living with Rosacea
by Myra Michelle Eby, founder of MyChelle Dermaceuticals

What Is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic skin disorder that causes patchy flushing and swelling, most commonly in the areas of the forehead, cheeks and chin. Other areas of the body affected by rosacea may include the eyes, neck, scalp and ears. When the eyes are affected, they may appear irritated, bloodshot and watery. Rosacea can come and go, eventually becoming permanent, and with time, ruddier skin may appear with visible blood vessels, bumps and pimples. In severe cases, nose tissue may swell, reflecting a bulbous nose. This condition is called rhinophyma (rino-fi-ma). Famous rosacea sufferers include former President Bill Clinton and W.C. Fields, with their appearances of mid-face redness and bulbous noses.

According to a Gallup Survey, 78 percent of Americans are unfamiliar with rosacea. Rosacea may affect people of all ages and skin types. Typically, rosacea occurs in those with fair skin and of ages ranging from the thirties through fifties. Often genetically passed on in families, women are affected more so than men; however, men frequently experience more severe symptoms. This skin disorder can be physically and emotionally debilitating, and, therefore, should be treated at the first signs for the best chance of controlling the symptoms.

Dietary and Lifestyle Considerations

Although the causes of rosacea are not certain, much can be done to control the symptoms with diet and lifestyle:

  • Drink at least ten to twelve glasses of quality water per day
  • Take a good antioxidant and multivitamin daily.
  • Eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy foods, hot drinks, caffeine and alcohol. Stimulants in the foods to avoid can cause increased facial redness.
  • Eat three small meals rather one big meal to prevent outbreaks of rosacea.
  • Avoid Aspartame and NutraSweet as a sugar replacement, since they may cause flushing of the skin
  • Avoid anger, stress, embarrassment and frightful situations, as these all may trigger flushing of the skin and aggravation of rosacea.
  • Hot baths should be avoided, as well as icy cold ones. Use water well below 98ºF for facial cleansing rituals.
  • Try to exercise in a cool environment and avoid overheating. Exercise is a great way to reduce stress, though it should be practiced in moderation.
  • Limit your amount of sun exposure and use sun protection.

MyChelle Dermaceuticals Skin Care Suggestions

Naturally derived skin care products that use immune supporting ingredients and do not contain irritating, toxic ingredients can nourish and balance the skin, thereby providing relief of rosacea symptoms. One notable ingredient that is beneficial to rosacea sufferers is Totarol™ from the New Zealand Totara tree.

MyChelle Dermaceuticals incorporates immune enhancing, hydrating, and nourishing ingredients in addition to Totarol to effectively soothe even sensitive skin types. While rosacea and its causes remain a mystery to the medical community, effective relief from symptoms can be attained with skin immune system support and proper skin hydration. Following the above mentioned recommendations and treating your skin with natural, non-irritating products will effectively diminish the complications of rosacea. Great health for your body as well as your skin requires a sustained lifestyle change to promote Beautiful Skin Naturally™.

MyChelle is proud to introduce our Capillary Calming Serum, designed to treat inflamed capillaries and irritated skin. This unique formula, offering willow herb, totarol, arnica, totarol, folic acid, B-12, chamomile and essential oil of blue chamomile, to name just a few, was developed to reduce the inflammation (redness), eliminate possible mites and yeast in the hair follicles and support the production of DNA to heal compromised skin.
