Red Irritated Reactive Sensitive Rosacea Skins
even with rosacea
All have one thing in common an
The skin has ignited an INFLAMATORY RESPONSE
Even with rosacea
To treat a reactive rosacea skin successful, we need to deal with the inflammation within the skin and
strengthen the epidermal barrier of the skin.
An inflammatory response can be shown in many types of symptoms that can range
from itchy, tight, stinging skin to small, rash like bumps that seem to appear out of
nowhere.
What will provoke an inflammatory response.
You will either have a predisposed condition (something you are born with) or the skin can become sensitive due
to internal or external elements (something you have done to it).
If you have a predisposed condition, this would have shown as a child or young adult as

Hives

Rashes

Allergies

Blush easily

Later in life these skins can become Rosacea
There are many different understandings as to what the causes of Rosacea are. The one thing all skin scientists
agree on, is it is an inflammatory skin disorder. We have many years of experience in educating our clients with
Rosacea skin to keep their skin in its optimum health and keeping flare ups to a minimum. There is at this time
no cure, but we can make living with Rosacea bearable.
If it is due to external elements you may

Have been using the wrong skin care.

Had a lot of UV exposure

Had acne at some stage in your life.

Taken Roaccutane
All of the above would have impeded the skin’s epidermal barrier, thus making the skin more susceptible to
reactions irritations and upsets.
If your skin is showing signs of an inflammatory response, whatever the reason, at this stage many, other factors
will now aggravate the inflamed skin.
Climate. One example is the climate. During winter months, many people describe themselves as more sensitive.
The combination of low humidity, wind and indoor heat can be
ruthless on our skin.
Alcohol is another trigger; it makes you blush thus causing heat
in your face, exacerbate the inflammation
Stress. The internal factor most strongly associated with
sensitive skin is stress. Emotional and physical stress can induce
skin itchiness, inhibit wound healing and aggravate
inflammation.
Diet There are many foods that we eat which can cause
inflammation within the gut, as well as spicy foods that can
cause an immediate blushing within the skin. So you can
understand that after some time a reactive skin will ignite to the
slightest things. Eventually, even water can inflame it.
This image shows how internal and external
elements can cause an inflammatory
response .
Even when it is Red
The skin
The skin is a complex organ and once an inflammatory response has been ignited, we need to help the skin switch
it off.
For most sensitive and reactive skins, this can be quite easy. With an understanding of the cause and by giving the
skin what it needs, we can turn off the inflammatory response.
For a Rosacea skin this is not so easy but can be done with time.
Imagine a rosacea skin has an internal wiring problem that keeps short circuiting and causing fires.
We cannot change the wires, but we can strengthen the epidermal barrier, thus making the skin less flammable.
This understanding is called Corneotherapy
How do we treat this type of skin.

By performing a thorough consultation we can start to understand why your skin is doing what it is doing.
We will try and find the cause or triggers that can upset the skin.
We will work with you to repair the homeostasis of the skin.
We rebuild the lipid layers and strengthen the corneocyte cells and slow down any water loss.
Once we have strengthened the skin external influences may not cause the skin to react as badly.
We then need to keep the internal influences to a minimum.
Some facts

No two skins are the same, so we treat each skin as individual as you are.

Time: the skin does not like to be rushed.

There are no quick fixes when it comes to making your skin healthy

You may get flare ups from time to time.

When the redness subsides, beware, there may still be baby embers under the skin that could re spark at
any time.

Do not think that if something is called simple or gentle or calming it may not necessarily be any of those
things, just be cautious, as to what you put on a reactive skin as some topical products might be adding
fuel to the fire.
THINK LESS is MORE
Do not think all sensitive skins are rosacea skin. But all rosacea skins will be sensitive & reactive.
Known medication
Most medications will work on taking down the inflammation.
We have combined some of these medications with our treatments for highly effective results. Most medications
do take down the inflammation, but you still need to strengthen the epidermal barrier.
Some known Rosacea medications.
Doxycycline Antiboitcs slow releasing
Azelaic acid (Azelex and Finacea) takes down inflammation
Clindamycin (Cleocin and ClindaMax) Erygel) bacteria
Ivermectin (Soolantra) works on the mites
Metronidazole (MetroCream or MetroGel)
