Rosacea is a common face rash of adults. It is an inflammatory disease of the skin, which is estimated to affect over 45 million people worldwide. Rosacea begins with people in their 30's and may last into late middle age (around age 60). Rosacea is about 3 times more common in females and may seem to be associated with peri-menopause in some cases. It is also more common in fair-skinned people of Celtic or Scandinavian decent.
Rosacea is often made worse by cold weather, hot beverages, and stress.
Many people have been looking for natural treatments to reduce the appearance of rosacea. While rosacea cannot be cured, its symptoms may be controlled with various all natural extracts & oils that are now featured in many over the counter products.
One natural treatment that has shown the ability to reduce rosacea is green tea extract. Women treated with a special topical green tea extract cream had a 70% improvement in rosacea compared with women treated with a placebo. The study was conducted by Tanweer Syed, MD, PhD, an associate professor of dermatology at the University of San Francisco. The study showed that women who had redness, pustules, bums, and blood vessels that were visible showed significant improvement when they applied the green tea cream twice daily.
Another all-natural treatment for Rosacea is Evening Primrose Oil. Various essential fatty acids found in Evening Primrose Oil help treat rosacea by reducing inflammation, controlling cells' use of nutrients and by producing prostaglandins, which stimulate the contraction of blood vessels.
Sea Buckthorn Oil is another all-natural alternative to reduce the appearance of Rosacea. It has a long history of use in Asia and the Far East as a primary healing agent as it grows in the mountainous regions of Russia and China. Sea Buckthorn Oil contains Vitamin C & E, which has effective anti-inflammatory properties. The oil also contains oils rich in essential fatty acids which have been shown to soothe the skin & reduce redness commonly seen in many rosacea cases.
