How To Cure Rosacea?

How to cure Rosacea easily?

• My bf suffers with Rosacea and wants to know how to cure it without using meds? I said he can put cucumbers on his face and eat some food that have vitamin A....? what else is there?

• Answer:

  1. Drink 'alkaline' water. As we grow older, we often have a reduced "sense" of thirst and think we do not need more water to hydrate our body and brain; therefore, we deteriorate more quickly as our skin is the first organ of the body to inform us. We need to drink at least 10 eight ounce glasses (2.5 liters) of "alkaline" water per day if you are a smaller person! Considerably more is needed if one is larger, working outside, playing a sport, or doing something else physically taxing. More water is needed if the rosacea sufferer has a higher metabolism, anxiety, or stress level, or if one lives in a dry climate such as the southwest U.S. or at "Lake Disappointment" in Australia. Likewise, people that live in colder areas where the humidity is "low", especially when the home is being heated during a long winter, need more water because the air absorbs moisture from the body’s skin. The skin also absorbs air pollution and whatever toxins are in the air environment just as it absorbs topical medications. Water is needed for skin tissue repair as well as nearly every body process including efficient digestion, absorption, circulation, and secretion. Water carries nutrients to the skin cells and all body cells and removes waste from the cell. 2. Apply Jojoba Oil as the 'perfect moisturizer' - No other moisturizer is needed. An excellent moisturizer can be most helpful in protecting the skin from dryness. We suggest 100% pure Jojoba oil with no preservatives which normally can be found at GNC stores in the United States and Canada and can be purchased in most health stores throughout the world. 3. Avoid Stimulants Stimulants such as coffee, tea, alcohol, cigarettes, and excessive sugar from sweets and soda are highly acidic and throw your body off-balance. They are also vascular dilators, which can directly cause facial flushing. Any chemical powerful enough to "wake you up" in the morning is obviously causing drastic changes in your body. Sufferers of rosacea need the opposite of these acidic stimulants. A good alkaline "rosacea diet" will help to buffer or neutralize the harmful effects of stimulants. 4. Steroids should never ever be used for rosacea "Never, never, never, ever prescribe steroids for rosacea" Dr. Kligman (Dermatology-University of Philadelphia) and Dr. Plewig (Dermatologische Klinik Und Poliklinik der Universitat Munchen, Germany) state in their 1973 book, entitled Acne & Rosacea, First edition. Likewise, their second edition in 1993 harshly criticizes dermatologists that prescribe steroids for rosacea. 5. Avoid Hot Baths Hot baths should be avoided, as should very cold water on the affected areas. To prevent vascular dilation, use warm water well below 98.5 degrees on the affected areas so as not to redden the face more. Scrubbing and abrasives should be avoided, as they irritate the skin, which should be left intact as a natural barrier against bacteria. Also, try to take a short bath of approximately five minutes and minimize facial washing
