My Rosacea Is Stinging and Red and HURTS!

by Nic

Hi,

I have been suffering with rosacea and a red face for around 2 years now. It is always a shade of red and always stinging. Very frequently throughout the day it burns right up and goes bright red. When it does this it is very sore, tight and tingly, it feels as though I have a blow torch on it. I look as though I am permanently sunburned. I cannot find any pattern for when the redness gets worse during the day.

I also have a very greasy forehead, nose and chin and very dry patches around my mouth and jaw line. I have over the past 7 months tried both Clinique and Avene redness solutions. Neither have helped to improve my dry patches nor the redness and both make my greasy areas greasier.

As I walk to work each day, and frequently enjoy sports such as surfing and snowboarding, I need some sun protection and I don’t want to buy an off the shelf sunscreen as I want to stick with organic. Do you have recommendation on a good organic high factor sunscreen for my condition?

It may be that the amount of time I have spent in the water has helped to worsen my condition as it is very hard to find a suitable sunscreen that is waterproof. I am always burned when I get out the sea, even in the winter with windburn. Maybe snowboarding does not help either as I always get burned on the mountains!
Sorry to send such a lengthy email, but, I am desperate to find some useful advise as apart from having a sore face every day, I am finding it very embarrassing, I am always trying to hide my face away. I seem to spend so much time looking at different products but am never sure which ones to actually try.....I am 36 and female.

I hope you can help! Nic

Hello Nic,

Rosacea can affect our daily lives not only with the painful symptoms it manifests but in our daily appearance as well. From what you have told me, you are finding that most commercial products just cannot help a skin condition such as rosacea as they contain harsh ingredients that are irritating to the sensitive facial skin. Further, being outside for lengthy periods in the strong sun, surf and wind can really have a detrimental impact on your rosacea.

Here is what I highly recommend: First, cleanse old, dry and damaged cells and environmental debris with our FACE & BODY WASH. This is an important step towards soothing your skin 7 layers deep. Next, to replenish and restore the skin use our FACE & NECK THERACREAM twice daily. This cream is formulated with health building nutrients and humectants that will relieve inflammation and burning as well as the redness and repair skin cells filling the 7 layers of skin with the moisture it needs to remain healthy and strengthened and to restore balance once again.

Using the FACE & NECK THERACREAM along with the FACE & NECK MOISTURIZING WASH will help not only your rosacea but will help to balance the various oily to dry areas of your face by helping to bring balance back to the skin. Because you have several types of skin issues on your face, you will want to take note as you begin using our products as to which areas of your face may need cream applied only once per day and which areas twice and perhaps more per day based on your level of activity and exposure to sun/wind etc.

To answer your question about a "natural" sun block, we have found that zinc oxide has been used as a natural blocking agent as it is the only ingredient to effectively provide comprehensive protection against UVB and both short and long UVA radiation. Zinc oxide is the closest thing to a total sun block on the market today. It uniformly covers from 290 to 380 nm, thus protecting against UVB and most of the UVA spectrum. No other sunscreen ingredient provides broader protection. And unlike many chemical sunscreen agents, zinc oxide has been proven non irritating and studies show that it is safe for compromised or environmentally challenged skin. In fact, zinc oxide has over a 300-year history of safety, with no known adverse reactions.

Please keep me posted on your progress Nic.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
