Pevonia - Advice on Rosacea

What is Rosacea?

This skin condition is associated with women experiencing the menopause, though it can be also found in women and men of all ages. It mimics and is often diagnosed incorrectly as sunburn, sensitivity or acne. Rosacea is a type of skin inflammation affecting the face; in particular the cheeks, forehead and nose, leaving the skin with predominant redness, with broken veins and as the conditions worsens it becomes even more inflamed with spots and pustules known as Acne Rosacea.

In clients who have suffered with the condition for a long time, the nose can become enlarged and distorted. In severe cases inflammation can also affect the eyes.

What causes Rosacea?

The exact cause of Rosacea is unknown. Researchers believe hereditary, environment and hormonal factors are the probable causes. It is also thought that Rosacea involves the hair follicle and this is where Dermodex Mites sit and cause infection by blocking the follicles and resulting in pustules. The following factors are thought to worsen the symptoms:

Extreme temperatures – sun, opening an oven door, hot baths and cold temperatures when exposed without protection.

Stress – needs to be addressed with relaxation techniques, if left untreated will add to the flare-ups.

Food and beverages – spicy dishes, coffee and red wine.

Hot flushes – associated with the menopause, fevers, colds and high blood pressure need to be kept under control as they can also cause the skin to flare up.

Incorrect skincare routine – If using the wrong products the skin will be aggravated further.

Stages of Rosacea

Couperose – small, dilated capillaries

Erythrose – diffused redness and congestion and red patches which become more persistent

Erythrocouperose – combines the above

Rosacea – as Erythrocouperose evolves Rosacea develops causing severe inflammation of the skin

Acne Rosacea – referred to as the extreme condition of microcirculation problems. This condition combines all of the above plus papules and pustules and Dermodex mites.
