Rosacea





Try This First


Fight flushing. Facial flushing, caused by the dilation of blood vessels, is the trigger mechanism for rosacea, says Mary P. Lupo, M.D., associate clinical professor of dermatology at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans. So simply avoid anything that makes your face flush.





The top five flushing triggers are emotional stress, heat, humidity, spicy foods, and alcohol, Dr. Lupo says. Other triggers include activities that get you sweating, hot beverages, and sunlight. And certain foods, like chocolate, can bring it on.





But what bothers one person may not cause a problem in another. You need to pinpoint your personal flushing trip wires, according to the National Rosacea Society, then change your habits to avoid them.

Other Wise Ways


Apply a cold compress. When the flush hits, soak a washcloth in ice-cold water (or equal parts cold milk and ice water) and hold it on the affected area, recommends K. William Kitzmiller, M.D., dermatologist in private practice in Cincinnati. The cold will cause dilated blood vessels to constrict and will halt the inflammatory process, he explains. Apply for 10 minutes three times a day, as needed.





Reduce stress. stress ranks high on the trigger list of many people with rosacea. What鈥檚 the best way to reduce stress? Dr. Kitzmiller recommends the tried-and-true approach: regular healthy meals and snacks, reduced caffeine, regular exercise, and eight hours of sleep.





When you鈥檙e feeling stressed, try deep-breathing exercises, he says. Inhale and count to 10, then exhale and count to 10. Repeat this exercise several times.





Cleanse with care. It is important not to use abrasives or astringents, says Dr. Lupo. She recommends extraordinarily gentle liquid cleansers, such as Cetaphil, that contain sodium lauryl sulfate. This ingredient cleans skin without any stimulation that might cause flushing. You can wash your face up to two or three times a day, but always use cool water, Dr. Lupo cautions.





Avoid products that contain alcohol or irritants. For a gentle wipe, you can combine one tablespoon of chilled witch hazel with one pint of chilled water, Dr. Lupo says.
I think avoiding hot foods (tea, coffee) that would make one flush.
