Rosacea

Rosacea is a skin condition characterized by reddening and inflammation of the skin. Avoid triggers like sunlight, spicy or hot foods, and alcohol and use only gentle skin-care products. Applying green tea, bitterwood, chrysanthemum, kanuka honey, or milk thistle can help. So can colloidal oats, aloe vera, licorice, and turmeric.

Our skin is sensitive and falls victim to irritation, inflammation, and allergy quite easily. Some of these conditions do not have a permanent cure. Our desire for glowing, clear skin makes us resort to harmful cosmetics and intense chemical treatments to achieve a better look. But there are several natural remedies with natural ingredients that can help control and alleviate the discomfort. Some of these include honey, coconut oil, aloe vera, and yogurt, which are gentle on the skin and do not harbor the possible harmful side effects of medication or cosmetic treatments.

Soak a clean washcloth in cooled green tea/chamomile tea or plain cold water and press onto the face for 2-3 mins, twice a day. Wear sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher; use mild soaps, moisturizers. Avoid food, drinks that are hot in temperature (spicy foods, alcohol). Try herbal helpers like calendula salve, aloe vera gel, or colloidal oatmeal face masks.
