What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is classified as flushing or blushing of the skin. It can occur in men, women
and even children. Typically rosacea usually occurs mid face on the nose and cheeks
but can occur on forehead, chin, body and even the eyes!
The exact cause of Rosacea has yet to be determined or discovered yet but lifestyle
factors such as excess alcohol, past smoking history, obesity, hormonal imbalance,
food allergies and even sensitive or irritated skin can be triggering conditions. For
estheticians working with rosacea skin care conditions this is why starting by achieving
a healthy skin barrier should ALWAYS be the first step!
There is also a pesky irritant called, Demodex Folliculorum. These mites live within the
hair follicles on human skin, feeding on dead skin cells. These mites tend to be most
prevalent around the eyes, affecting the lids and lashes.
Though the thought of having mites on your skin might sound unpleasant, it’s actually
common to have small amounts of them. They only become problematic if they
exacerbate pre-existing skin
