@SkinCareTV thats wrong too lol, I am all ugly
SkinCareTV Says:
@loopoflife91 Unfortunately it is a genetically predisposed condition. Somehow you got the genes that enable vaso-dilation. Maybe you also got better hair? or more beautiful feet? or a stunning smile? Genetic inheritance is 1 of the miracles of nature + it can never be controlled. Work at controlling your rosacea with better skin care products + diet + try to change your life to eliminate the things that trigger your rosacea. It is hard but not impossible. Sending you best regards
SkinCareTV Says:
@dudewaitewhat...continuing on...I am sorry you are going through this. It is hard to deal with. Unfortunately laser treatments don't work on very darkly pigmented skin. You have few options - I suggest controlling the rosacea with better skin care products and better diet (fruit, vegetables, no dairy etc). Having dark pigmented blotches on your face is the other option - and they probably won't go away so you will be seeing them for the rest of your life.
SkinCareTV Says:
@dudewaitewhat Unfortunately any inflamed skin will be darker than non-inflamed skin. Tanning may reduce the visible redness but it will increase the visible dark spots. You are in a difficult situation. I suggest concentrating on reducing the redness by reducing + eliminating the rosacea triggers + use soothing/calming skin care products. No hot water EVER. If you work out - take a break + go to bathroom, wet paper towel with cool water + hold it against your skin for 2 minutes

I have had rosacea since I was a child and i'm the only one in the family that have it why?
dudewaitewhat Says:
I'm Black American and i have this. it's only red when i'm not tanned. how do i prevent it from turning brown when it settles down?
Dominiekske Says:
@SkinCareTV That makes sense, thanks a lot for your quick reply :)
SkinCareTV Says:
@Dominiekske Hi, the triggers for rosacea vary from person to person. Anything that causes vaso-dilation has the potential to create flushing/blushing in a rosacea-prone skin. The condition is progressive so the more flushing/blushing triggers you encounter the greater the potential for progression of the disorder into papules and pustules and beyond. These flare-ups may be short lived but too many strong ones will increase the speed of rosacea progression. Control the triggers!
Dominiekske Says:
Thank you very much, very useful information! One thing I'm wondering about: when you say that certain things, such as coffee, alcohol, and exercice, are bad for rosacea patients, do you mean they can cause temporary flare-ups or do you mean they can permanently make the condition worse?
SkinCareTV Says:
@ucantresiist Thank you for your comments and support...it is appreciated :-) I definitely recommend that you avoid all pure alcohol forms - SD Alcohol, Ethanol, Alcohol Denatured for example. Fatty alcohols like cetearyl, stearyl, cetyl alcohol are OK - check out cetostearyl alcohol at wikipedia for more info on how they are used in formulations. Most drug store cleansers are detergents - so bad for rosacea. A bland non retinol non fragranced non irritant based moisturizer will be fine.

Rosacea is treatable. : Great video.
ucantresiist Says:
This is the most informative information I have seen so far. Most websites/ videos are about rosacea. I already know it's basics but you broke it down very specifically. Do you recommend any drugstore products? And do yo reconmend avoiding alcohol in products or does it matter?

SkinCareTV Says:
@ddtoots Laser will work to provide a short term solution - it cauterizes the blood vessels. They will re-appear - that is part of the ongoing nature of this condition. I do not believe in laser too often because blood vessels feed the skin cells and are thus play an essential role in keeping the skin healthy. Even after laser treatment, do as per the suggestions in the video to ensure ongoing strong yet calm skin.
ddtoots Says:
waht do u think about using a laser to get rid of the redness? i heard that works.
lilpiepie Says:
THANKS for all the useful info!

this guy really knows his stuff...wish he lived near me i would love for him to treat my rosacea!
MoonyAJ Says:
@SkinCareTV Thank you very much for that helpful response! I've tracked down an inorganic sunscreen; I'll see how it helps when I next go out hiking. The Platinum Soothing Mask is not available where I live, but I could try ordering it online, since recommendations besides yours have also been good. Thanks for that! Regards, Anna
SkinCareTV Says:
@MoonyAJ Hi, Thank you for commenting on the video. I am pleased it meant something positive for you. Sincere best wishes.
SkinCareTV Says:
@MoonyAJ Hi, any exercise or exertion that causes vaso-dilation will result in a rosacea flareup. The strongest cosmetic response is the 2L Platinum Soothing Mask to reduce post exercise erythema. During vaso-dilating exertion even moisturizers can be irritating to the skin. I suggest using a 100% inorganic (aka mineral) sunscreen like TiZO even in the rain..generally no irritation results from it but the silicone base will be a good protector from the elements. Sincerely, Andrew.
MoonyAJ Says:
The strongest triggers for me seem to be temperature changes and exercise. I am a keen hill-walker, which is perhaps unfortunate, and although my skin has been much better since starting to use an anti-oxidant moisturiser, I had an attack of the furnace face the other day, after being out on the hills with driving rain. The erythema still hasn't fully passed. I'm wondering what I can use to protect my face when I go out hiking.
MoonyAJ Says:
Thank you for that video! It was very helpful! I have a family history of rosacea and show the symptoms that you've described, and in the order of appearance that you've described too. I have telangiectasia, some red papules and transient erythema which feels very hot and can sting.
