Seeing red: How to treat Rosacea

What can trigger Rosaeca

• Diet. Spicy foods, hot food like soup, and caffeinated beverages such as tea and coffee can trigger Rosacea. Alcohol can be a trigger too, so limit your intake (sorry ladies, less wine!). 
• Sun exposure. People who suffer from Rosacea—and most skin conditions—should wear a non-toxic mineral sunscreen every day and avoid direct sunlight. 
• Stress. Consider stress as the ultimate poison—it is linked to Rosacea flare-ups (elevated cortisol, glucose metabolism, weight gain, etc). Regular exercise, meditation, and keeping a diary are all ways to reduce stress levels and ensure a healthy complexion. 
• Medications. Certain medications like prescription-strength cortisone, hydroquinone, retinoids and salicylic acid, can actually irritate your skin. Dr. Anna offers Pill Check & Nutrigenomix and will review your medications and skincare products to ensure you are on the most optimal combinations.
• Cosmetic products. As we’ve discussed in several of our blogs, most store-bought cosmetic products are rife with preservatives and toxins which may do your skin more harm than good. For a cleaner and safer alternative, Dr. Anna has developed a medical-grade make up line.
