Rosacea
Rosacea is a common skin disorder characterized by redness on the face and neck, and it can range from a subtle rash to deeper redness.
There are 4 different types
Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea: This subtype is characterized by redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels.
Papulopustular rosacea: This subtype is characterized by acne-like breakouts and redness.
Phymatous rosacea: This subtype is characterized by thickened skin and irregular surface nodularities.
Ocular rosacea: This subtype affects the eyes, causing redness, dryness, and irritation.
To reduce inflammation, some ingredients can help, such as polyphenols in caffeinated coffee and omega-3 fatty acids. Azulene (derived from chamomile plant), Arnica and Vitamin C, can also be beneficial as it strengthens capillaries, reducing noticeable redness when ingested or applied topically. Nutritional deficiencies in vitamin B6, selenium, magnesium, and B12 can cause blood vessel dilation, especially on the cheeks and nose.
Probiotics, omega-3 fatty acids, or zinc may benefit some people with rosacea. .
Check with healthcare professional before taking any supplements.
Avoid skin care ingredients that can worsen the symptoms of rosacea: urea, witch hazel, menthol, camphor, eucalyptus oil, Sodium laurel sulfate (often found in shampoos and toothpaste),peppermint, lactic acid (milk) and glycolic acid.
