You may notice one day
that your post-exercise flush on the cheeks won’t go away. Or perhaps you notice little red bumps that look like acne pimples. If you are in your 30s or older and have fair skin, you may have rosacea.
Rosacea is a chronic skin disorder that affects approximately 1 out of 20 Americans, usually between the ages of 30 and 60.
Symptoms:
- Mostly affects the face or eyes
- Persistent flushing
- Visible blood vessels
- Ruddiness
- Pimples
- Irritated eyes that, if untreated, become worse over time.
Currently, there is no cure for rosacea, but with proper treatment and awareness of triggers, symptoms can be controlled and the disease kept in check.Once you are properly diagnosed, your physician may prescribe a topical or oral treatment to address the redness, bumps and skin inflammation associated with rosacea.
Many dermatologiss also recommend laser and intense pulse light treatments to reduce redness and broken blood vessels. These new therapy options are considered safe and can visibly improve skin tone and texture.
There are also things you can do on a daily basis to help control the symptoms of rosacea.
1. Be aware of factors that trigger your flare-ups. Triggers include sudden temperature changes, hot baths, exercise, alcohol consumption, spicy food, sun exposure, stress and harsh cosmetics.
2. Choose gentle skincare products that do not contain alcohol, harsh detergents or abrasive ingredients.
- Products with calming ingredients such as JUARA Tamarind Tea Hydrating Toner and JUARA Clove and Turmeric Serum help soothe skin and keep it hydrated.
- Rice Bran Extract, a key ingredient in the toner, provides calming benefits and minimizes redness in the skin.
- Green Tea, Black Tea, and White Tea, when combined, calm the skin and deliver a bundle of healthy antioxidants.
- Turmeric, a super-ingredient, brightens and evens out complexion while providing free radical protection.
- Concealers with a green tint neutralize redness in the skin and can be worn underneath regular foundation.
- Since sun exposure is considered a trigger factor, daily sun protection is key. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher, such as Suntegrity Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen, and wear a hat and protective clothing outdoors.
