My eyes are still red, I'm still not wearing makeup around my eyes and I find these lights distracting so they go out, you guys will have to deal with my bare face and I apologize if I'm a Nightmares thing on your Saturday. tomorrow with my eyes red but let's jump It's dedicated to everyone who suffers from

rosacea

because it's national

rosacea

awareness month and it's about time we normalize rosacea so many millions of people live with this condition and frankly , they live in shame, yours truly, including because I blushed so much, this is the time to make all this information much more accessible to everyone and it's about time we understand how they treat us, how we approach it, how we approach it, what is.

Rosacea Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition, it's something you're going to live with for years, you can't just get rid of it and it's a condition where your skin can look red and inflamed and you often hear " Oh me". I'm very upset because my emotions show on my face, if you get nervous, if you get stressed right away, it shows up on your face and you can't hide from your own face, so it's a condition that can really have a mental stigma attached to it. and People often feel a little weird around other people who have rosacea unfortunately because they think they're greasy, they're greasy, their face is flaky, they're so uncontrollable, uncontrollable with their emotions because it all shows on their face, so it's something that really needs to be normalized, there are four subtypes, the first two are the most common, the first is erythematodeic rosacea, in which there are many broken capillaries on the face and

redness

and, over time, those broken capillaries and redness get worse and they become more prominent and then you have the papilopustular variant which is often confused with adult acne but it is very different from adult acne and the biggest point of difference, at least clinically, what you can see is that with rosacea there are no spots. black, hyperloopustular rosacea has small pustules. small white, juicy grains as well as blemishes on a red base that appears slightly swollen.

The third variant is feminist rosacea, in which the nose, chin and forehead enlarge over time due to enlarged sweat glands and then the fourth variant is ocular rosacea because it can affect the eyes and the margins of the eyelids. they turn red you look like you've been bloodshot and your eyes feel gritty it's important to treat these patients with an oral antibiotic because you want to minimize any long term eye damage so who gets it and why don't we know What is an equal opportunity chronic inflammatory condition? It can affect anyone at any age, but you tend to see it more in people with light skin, obviously because the redness shows up more, so you definitely tend to notice it more, but in darker skinned populations, it's important to realize Consider whether something is rosacea versus acne because you don't want to use, for example, tretinoin in a rosacea phase.

If you have a darker skin type and don't actually have acne, it will further irritate the cause of your rosacea. It is unknown in itself, genetics plays a role, we believe it is multifactorial, from a broken skin barrier to mites living in the skin. Everyone has skin mites, but some people are more sensitive to a yeast that can exacerbate it and bacteria like the ones I mentioned. Whatever, the whole shebang bada bang is part of the actual cause of rosacea, but there are certain triggers that rosacea has that have been very well documented and that we can avoid.

The first is alcohol. You know, that red face I'm talking about. Like caffeine, chocolate, spicy foods, heat. Forgetting Hot Yoga and stress, of course, can definitely affect you, as can certain medications. The list goes on, but this is why it is absolutely necessary to be aware of how your skin feels. It is important to learn that your skin understands its emotions, it understands its reactivity because your skin has its own mentality and it will react in a certain way, so if you understand that you are one step ahead and you can literally help yourself faster, we will first focus on this video on the redness and blemishes of rosacea.

Forget the nose and eyes. Lasers are a big part of that, the gold standard for treating redness is truly an in-office laser, but an in-office laser. It's like going for a dental cleaning once a year without brushing your teeth daily if you don't brush your teeth every day what the hell is the point of subjecting yourself to the torture of a dentist's chair for an annual dental cleaning The same thing happens with a laser, forget about lasers if you're not doing the right skin care routine because you'll be wasting money very, very quickly, so that's super important, which brings me to number two, a skin care routine. specific skin, you need to understand why you do it. using products, what are you trying to get from them and what are the claims and this is actually something I have for you, leave a comment below, what kind of claims are those rosacea patients looking for in a package that they are looking at when I'm trying to find products that help you combat your redness, your rosacea, your imperfections.

Let me know below what type of affirmations or what type of similar statements you are looking for because the things you should look for are things that help

reduce

the appearance. from redness with ingredients that reduce visible redness things that help soothe and soothe your skin because you want to restore your skin barrier and reduce any type of inflammation fragrance-free now I love the fragrance I'm not going to lie I love aromatherapy with skin care skin so I'm not a fragrance demonizer, okay, because there are a lot of Warriors fragrances out there, but if you have rosacea you should probably stay away from things with fragrances because they can definitely irritate your skin and make things worse, and then any products that It has a green tint or tone that will help correct the color of rosacea, so those are very important things to keep in mind when talking about rosacea and lastly, rosacea is often referred to as adult acne, but not it is.

Adult acne, as I've said several times, is not blackheads with rosacea, so it's important that you understand this and, unfortunately, avoid harsh ingredients like retinol or even adapaline because retinols can really trigger that response. inflammatory and the truth is that if you really have papilopustular rosacea you don't really need retinol right now, wait until your skin is less inflamed in a stable state to try dipping your toes into the world of retinol, so all this It leads me to products that can help you. tricks that will ensure that your rosacea does not appear as intense and that your redness subsides over time, first of all, starting with cleansers.

Event is a well-known brand for those who suffer from redness because it is made with mineral waters that contain magnesium. calcium silica in them, those minerals have been shown to have some type of anti-inflammatory effect which we believe helps in chronic conditions like rosacea, this is your real lifter, calming exera that you guys can definitely try out by Hiram it's affordable now at Target , this type has centella and green tea, both of which have been shown to soothe the skin. Sold for 16. It is relatively cheap and is based on glycerin. Then a tried and true Vanna cream.

I love Vano cream. However, it is a very simple cleaner. Is it great for removing makeup? Not so much, so you will probably need to combine it with a Bioderma micellar water. Sorel, which is a ketoconazole shampoo. It is not a cleaner. It is actually a shampoo for people with dandruff, but for many people who suffer from rosacea. you have that swelling and that redness associated with flaking, so if you use this three or four times a week on those areas, let it sit for a few minutes and then wash it off, you will really help yourself by minimizing not only the redness but also the flaking associated because you want to kill the yeast that usually contributes to that, but these types of cleansers are much more specific and if you are going to use a cleanser like this, let it sit for a few minutes on your face. before you wash it off to let some of those ingredients do their job to minimize redness long term if you're looking for things like Mists, I mentioned events, thermal water, this is where this guy comes in if you're using this just to hydrate your face like on a plane, there are better ones you could use if you are using this to help calm redness and reduce inflammation then you are using it the right way.

I also think Tower 28 hypochlorous acid is really good. The SOS spray people have confused this with salt water, it is not salt water, it is not bleach, it has a different chemical composition and has been shown to have a gentler pH, more balanced with the skin and less aggressive, so it can help. disinfect, get rid of all that antimicrobial activity that can make your rosacea even worse, like we talked about, so I actually use it during the day and I did it right up there with the endemic pen on my mask because I was getting breakouts around my mouth and helped serums tremendously, this is where we can have a little fun with some of the tricks, obviously I just launched my product.

I'm going to connect it to Shameless, but this is a serum, the depuffer is actually a redness reducing serum and I wanted to At one point, I was told it wasn't a sexy name, so we called it D-Puffer, but it's a serum redness reducer mixed with gotu kola and niacinamide, which only has a five percent limit, so you won't. to go higher than that and then you also have other ingredients that are clinically proven to reduce redness, so twice a day this serum definitely helps. It's also darker in color, which also helps block underlying redness in Beauty projects.

The green machine is a vitamin. Serum C which is also green, the reason I like this particular vitamin C is that it is tetrahexadecyl ascorbate in a very light aqueous serum form, as I will show you please, we have talked about this product and it has a tint light green. Tetrahexodescorbate is a type of vitamin C, it is not an active form so it will not be as irritating as ascorbic acid, so if you are looking to incorporate vitamin C I would try this, but as with anything you may be sensitive to , you may not so always do a patch test first before putting your whole face in this Paula's Choice azelic acid is an ingredient that we prescribe in practice, it's one that we really don't know exactly, very honestly, how it works, but it has antimicrobial properties, it has antimicrobial properties.

It has inflammatory properties and also allows the skin to regulate itself much more cohesively so you don't get buildup on your face, but it stinks because the lake acid smells bad and pills, so if you use it during the day it's good for you. It doesn't pill, but pilling is likely, so use it at night, but this is 10 and that's the sweet spot you need to be at to get any real benefit. We also have the ordinary ones, as well as this one in suspension. definitely pills, but it's a lot cheaper, it's also 10, it sells for eleven dollars, you can also try this baby so you're not as red as you normally are after sneezing and then in terms of sunscreen, several proven truths.

They are Dr. Jarts' sick pair. I've heard complaints from people with darker skin tones that it's not for them and this is not for them. There is a limited amount of cream that can capture your skin colors and change your tone, but yes. a shade lighter than my skin, maybe a shade or two above my skin tone, but if you're darker you'll think it looks cakey and I recently heard that Hero Cosmetics Force Shield SPF 30 Super Light Sunscreen is also great because it's unscented and has a green tint and sells for twenty dollars. Physical sunscreens here are more suitable for you than chemical sunscreens because they will not be potentially irritating, while chemical sunscreens can be much more irritating, but again not.

All physical sunscreens are the same, so these are two that I recommend if you have long-term rosacea and a trick that I love, especially in the summer, when it's hot, if I'm in a stressful situation and I don't care. It's a cooling neck fan and I put it around my neck for two reasons, one so I don't get red, but two so my melasma doesn't flare up, but it's a neck fan that looks like a headphone like a Bose headphone, so Leave it alonelike that, but it works great if I'm at the beach or I'm walking outside and it's 90 degrees.

I love it, it keeps me fresh and makes my face less likely to throw out the prescriptions I mentioned like metronidazole acid is an ivermectin. is another, these three are often combined to obtain the perfect formula. Ivermectin is an antiparasitic, but we have a mite on our face that suffers from rosacea and is more likely to know it as demodexmite, so it helps calm it down and obviously antibiotics are often necessary. It is used as a conventional treatment not only for its antibiotic effect but also for its anti-inflammatory effect, so I hope you found this video useful.

These are tricks you can do to help yourself if you want to take it a step further. come into the office one day and talk about various treatments, let me know in the comments below if that's something you're interested in, but I'm really curious to know what you're looking for in terms of product textures and claims and I hope you have a beautiful Saturday. I hope this video has revealed it to you. I hope you learned a trick or two. The reality is that consistency is key, especially when it comes to your skincare routine, and unfortunately, there are no quick fixes.
