A Plan for Fighting Facial Redness
April is Rosacea Awareness Month. According to the National Rosacea Society, “more than 90 percent of rosacea patients said their condition had lowered their self-confidence and self-esteem, and 41 percent reported that it had caused them to avoid public contact or cancel social engagements. Among rosacea patients with severe symptoms, 88 percent said the disorder had adversely affected their professional interactions, and 51 percent said they had even missed work because of their condition.”
Even for those who have not received a true rosacea diagnosis, facial redness caused by sun damage, acne or just genetics can make us feel less than confident and beautiful. I have always struggled with facial redness. In my early twenties I underwent chemotherapy and radiation for a sarcoma of my lung and liver. Along with losing my hair, facial redness was a visible side effect of the cancer treatments; my cheeks and nose were always red. At the time, this was the least of my worries, but in the following years as I was getting back to health and feeling like myself, it became a real detriment to my confidence.
My personality is that I want to “fix” the problem instead of just masking it with makeup, so I began researching anti-inflammatory diets and treatments for visible redness. I struggled for years and, quite honestly, only recently eliminated my redness. I completely owe it to my SkinMedica and Colorescience products, along with a few treatments of course. I truly feel that this combination of products used on a daily basis aid in not only concealing my redness but also repairing it.
One of the best ways to begin concealing and correcting your visible redness is the Colorescience Sensitive Skin Kit. It includes the Skin Calming Primer SPF 20, which aids in soothing red or sensitive skin. The golden nude color neutralizes redness and one of the key ingredients, Oat Beta Glucan, is a natural anti-inflammatory that can even be used on post-procedure skin. The Mineral Corrector Palette helps in concealing red, brown and blue discoloration. It even comes with a cheat sheet to show how to correct your individual concealing needs. One of the most important steps in fighting facial redness is sun protection. The Sunforgettable Brush SPF 50 is the easiest way to reapply your minerals and sunscreen. The FDA recommends reapplication every two hours when in the sun, and with this brush it is actually possible. The final step in the kit is the Setting Mist; it melts your minerals into place, leaving your skin looking dewy and fresh all day long.
