Identify Your Rosacea Triggers With This Free Resource

As you are probably aware, your best chance of keeping your rosacea in remission is to identify and avoid the activities and environments that exacerbate your skin condition.  We also realize that you may be thinking, “Easier said than done!” So, if you are having trouble identifying all of your rosacea triggers, we have found a resource that may help you organize and track various environmental and lifestyle factors leading to a rosacea flare-up.

The National Rosacea Society offers a free Rosacea Diary booklet that will help you track your flare-ups and the factors leading to the exacerbation.  This handy diary will make your mission of identifying your specific rosacea triggers much easier and provide a record of your activities and environmental factors just prior to and after each flare-up. Over a period of a month or two, you should start to see a pattern forming that will identify your triggers.

We have also detailed a list of common rosacea triggers to help get you started in your “detective” work and also have an ongoing Rosacea Survey for our site visitors to cast their votes as to the most significant rosacea trigger that they personally experience.  If you would like to see what triggers are most common, why not visit both website pages and see if the lists don’t give you a starting point for your task at hand.

Now you need to understand that rosacea triggers can vary from person to person, so there really is no set pattern or combination of factors affecting every rosacea sufferer.  Your triggers may be unique, but with the help of the Rosacea Diary, identifying your rosacea triggers will be a much easier task and your efforts will prove much more productive.

For those women who suffer from rosacea, finding the right kind of makeup to conceal their red, or flush, cheeks is always a challenge.  As you probably know,  a common risk when wearing makeup is whether it will it irritate your already sensitive skin.  The typical over-the-counter makeup is usually full of artificial ingredients and harsh chemicals - a real formula for disaster!

Mineral Makeup is the Answer

But there is a product that is made from natural ingredients that is gentle on the skin and also provides protection from the damaging rays of the sun — mineral makeup.   Even if your skin is blotchy, ruddy or blemished, mineral makeup can literally brush away those imperfections and give you the confident about how you look.

Mineral makeup is not only great for covering up the flushing symptoms of rosacea, but is actually good for your skin.  One mineral makeup we recommend is Sheer Cover® Mineral Makeup.  It is a natural based makeup that is perfect for rosacea type skin.

Rosacea Makeup Tips

November 21st, 2008 by admin   Subscribe To Our Feed

Acne rosacea skin care goes beyond just the medications and skin treatments that address the irritating symptoms of this skin condition.  The use of makeup can become a significant factor in whether or not your rosacea symptoms are exacerbated and skin irritation occurs.

New Rosacea-Friendly Makeup Products

Fortunately, the cosmetics industry is becoming more aware of the needs of rosacea sufferers.  They have started introducing skin care products with formulations which are based on natural and organic ingredients.  They can usually be found on the shelves of better cosmetics counters or online at sites such as The Skin Store.

We believe that a note of caution is in order about using makeup if you suffer from rosacea.  Most cosmetics on the market today contain a wide range of chemicals, fragrances and dyes. It is these artificial ingredients that tend to aggravate and irritate sensitive skin, like the epidermal effects of acne rosacea.  In addition, more chemicals are added as a preservative to increase the shelf life.  Remember — When buying rosacea makeup, natural is always better.

In fact, look specifically for all natural ingredients in your rosacea makeup products. Another factor is to make sure that the rosacea makeup is made for your specific skin type.

Mineral Makeup - All Natural Rosacea Solution

For those who choose to wear makeup, mineral makeup is an excellent choice for rosacea sufferers. This all natural makeup contains no artificial ingredients that can commonly lead to allergic reactions.  Dermatologists often recommended mineral makeup to women with sensitive skin, especially rosacea. This is so because of its intrinsic skin soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.
