I have very mild rosacea on the sides of my cheeks. They’re rarely even pink. It’s just the bumps I want to get rid of. My mom said scrubbing my cheeks in a circular motion with a soapy scrubby puff in the shower. I have been doing that, and it seems to be working a little bit. But how can I make it go away faster? And stay gone?

Treatment options such as oral antibiotics and topical creams are commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation and redness. Topical cortisone preparations for short-term use may also be prescribed as topical vitamin C therapy and cosmetic surgery.

Often the harsh chemicals and synthetic ingredients that are contained in today’s skincare products do more damage to your skin than you may realize. Herbal remedies, on the other hand have carefully selected natural ingredients to improve the appearance of the skin and prevent future break outs. Two well known herbs such as Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree Oil) and Lavender Essential Oil have wonderful healing powers attributed to their anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-septic actions.

Other herbs such as Arctium lappa and Bulbine frutescence have been used widely to treat skin conditions including acne, eczema, and psoriasis. In addition, Apparatus linearis (Rooibos) an indigenous shrub that hails from South Africa is known worldwide for its anti-oxidant and healing properties as well as its soothing and healing effect on the skin.

You could try Hdroviton CR. It is an all natural cleanser that was initially
developed for oily and acne prone skin this cleanser has also proved remarkable for all skin types; due to its intensely moisturizing and calming properties Hydroviton CR can be used on the most sensitive skin without
any irritation.

This is for my wife. She’s interested in covering it and in avoiding irritating it more.

The best full-coverage cosmetic for a skin condition like rosacea is Dermablend. You can view the Dermablend website below.

I will be 27 in March and I am beginning to notice changes on my face, such a wrinkles around my eyes….I need recommendations for skin care products, for normal skin, either to erase the wrinkles or to improve the appearance. I know there are a lot of products out there that claim to work but really dont. I just don’t want to waste a lot of money on bad products.

Coletta, all I can tell you is what has worked for me. I will say this, those $2.99 creams off the shelf of Walmart don’t work. I tried them literally all. They are just filler, fragrance, water, micro percentage if any of active ingredients (how else do you think they can sell creams at those prices?, nice & colorful packaging. About 3 years ago, started to use a brand that worked for me.

Preve extreme anti aging by Isabella Pelle. It’s made specifically for fine lines/wrinkles. It has the highest concentration of "peptides" active ingredients to fight them. Also has the highest concentration of the best known moisturizer, hyaluronic acid. This has kept my skin baby smooth.
Last month they came out with a more concentrated version of Preve called Cura. It’s everything Preve except they concentrated it to extreme. I got it 2 weeks ago; it’s excellent. What you need to do is decide which one is best for you. I recommend both.

oh btw; I’m 20 but in my opinion you are never too young to start protecting your skin from the ravages of time, sun, and lack of care.

I’m 13 years old and I live in Australia. I have combination skin and get minor blackheads, whiteheads and blemishes around and on my nose. Sometimes I might get them on my chin or forehead. I need a good skin care routine that has three steps (cleanse, tone, moisturise) that is gentle and won’t burn or irritate my skin. Can you help? Please list names of products and brands. No homemade remedies or recipes, just products I can purchase at Coles or Priceline. Thanks.

kk, first of all i might mention that you really only need a toner if your skin needs an extra clean or is oily which you do but usually a cleanser does the job. I have the same skin as you and this is what i use: i have two cleansers, at night i use Benzac AC wash, at frst that will burn and make your skin peel but mine soon got used to so if you want stay away from it, its about $15 and you can get it at any chemist or priceline. The morning cleanser i use and i stand by it for our skin its Formula 10.0.6 cleanser and its so gentle and makes your skin less oily right away. i dont own a toner myself but id try formula 10.0.6 aswell for that. for my moisturiser im currently using cliniques stuff so its abit pricey but i used to use Olay Complete Defence Moisturiser, which is great for sensitive skin and if your just starting out plus it has spf.

Now the other stuff i use i swear has helped clear me up and its St Ives Blackhead and Blemish Control, it will help remove your blackheads, use it every three nights. Another i use after i use the blackhead control is a mudmask, i use Formula 10.0.6 mudmask in the orange container and im soon going to use the one in the green and its for oily skin, its so good and really removes imputities. i also use a spot treatment from formula 10.0.6

Just thought id mention Formla 10.0.6 is really cheap too and its good cause it works, its at priceline. ill get links up for all products ive mentioned.
