Facial Redness (Rosacea) and Capillaries

Rosacea is a chronic condition characterized by facial erythema (redness).

Rosacea affects both sexes, but is almost three times more common in women. It has a peak age of onset between 30 and 60.

Rosacea typically begins as redness on the central face across the cheeks, nose, or forehead, but can also less commonly affect the neck, chest, ears, and scalp.

It can be controlled, managed and improved with proper treatment methods; however there is no specific or long term cure.

The first step in determining what treatment will work is to understand this skin condition and outbreak triggers. Avoid stress and heavy physical exercise, keep the skin well moisturised and avoid anything that dehydrates the skin or that raises core body temperature.

It is inflammation of the skin, resulting in facial redness, increased prominence of blood vessels, and swelling. Symptoms can vary in intensity when exacerbated.

Recent research has shown an increase of specific inflammatory cells, triggering a chain of chemical responses within the skin, including the release of certain enzymes (MMPs). These MMPs cause a decline in collagen and cause inflammatory damage, which results in what is called "acne rosacea".

Other inflammatory mediators that further exacerbate the symptoms of rosacea are reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO). Rosacea sufferers have a reduced capacity to fight the effects of ROS.

Additionally, sun exposure is known to induce the release of ROS which subsequently activates MMPs. The role of NO involves vascular changes and is partially responsible for the swelling and redness, worsening with increased sun exposure as an increase of NO has been linked with UVB rays.

Most people think of Rosacea and Sensitive skin as conditions that require non-active products because of their tendency to over-react. The important distinction is that these skin types need non-irritating, active ingredients to remodel their damaged skin in a way that promotes healing.

Both Rosacea and Sensitive skin are the result of inflammation and it is therefore critical to use ingredients that remodel, repair and calm so that skin health is restored. The capillaries (and redness) that are often seen reflect two coexisting conditions; the skin is attempting to repair itself by increasing blood supply to certain areas, and, over time, the skin thins from the excessive inflammation which results in more capillaries being revealed.

MediiSkin MendSkin dramatically lightens the skin, has nine liposome-coated tyrosinase inhibitors, remodels scar tissue, restores barrier health, calms inflammation, remodels scarring from sun damage, restores dermal thickness, hydrates, protects against UV rays.

Mediiskin SunSkin - 100% natural, no preservatives, colours, or fragrances.

MediiSkin SunSkin is by far the most moisturizing sunblock on the market, and a must for people with Pigmentation & Freckles.

MediiSkin SunSkin provides significant broad spectrum sunblock protection utilizing silica-coated micronized zinc. This is the safest sunblock ingredient available because it does not break down like uncoated zinc and it does not absorb into our system like micronized titanium.
