Facial Exercises For Rosacea Reduction

The Sobye's Massage or non surgical face lift is very useful as the face has many muscles which hold tension in many different ways for different purposes. If the muscles are not toned by exercise, the face will sag and portray an older look. Facial muscles don't all attach directly to bone like they do in the rest of the body. Instead, many of them attach under the skin. This allows you to contract your facial muscles in the smallest amount and make dozens of different kinds of faces as you have noticed in your past photos of the slightest time difference in photo shots. If all the muscles are toned the face will have a natural face lift, the skin will be smoother and younger looking and the general appearance will be brighter and more pleasant. Frown lines are caused when we hold tension too long and too often; however when your face relaxes deeply the muscles relax giving the skin of the red rosacea face a chance to smooth out and allows the restricted blood to 'flow out' resulting in a very useful function for the rosscea sufferer.
The rosacea sufferer very often thinks of redness and blood flow and would love to have normal skin as your face is on display to the world and is an indication of your level of health, happiness, and vitality. The past has been problematic for the rosacea sufferer as the facial artery supplies blood to the face through a network of curves, angles across the cheeks, around the mouth, lips, tongue, and along the nose, around the eyes, and across the forehead. As the various facial areas have many functions to perform as we talk, eat, laugh, cry, blink, sneeze, or do any of the other subconscious functions as the smallest movement can turn a smile into a frown. You can raise your eyebrow to look surprised or wiggle your nose. So as you can imagine, the network of blood supply is not an easy in and out straight plumbing supply. It is further compounded when we freeze or hold steady without the other body movement such as watching a computer screen for a long period of time or perform some other task such as being tense in a court room or awaiting some important event such as a supervisor calling upon us in that we become 'focused or stonefaced' with little muscle movement which makes for a more difficult supply of blood to reach the facial muscles and skin areas. The facial artery is supplied blood from a branch of the external carotid artery along the neck area that most of us are very familiar with as this is also the brain blood supply. A few people have rosacea of the neck area also in addition to the facial skin area. We do not think you really wish to kill these facial arteries as some people do with various rosacea laser or light treatments but really desire for a better blood supply and return movement system as a better rosacea treatment.
However, the return of blood from the face is through the anterior facial vein which takes a more straight course through the face and is separated from the facial arteries by a large space so that we do not see the "blue veins" usually in a persons face as they are located deeper below the skin surface. The nose capillaries become sometimes become "arteries" and appear blue or purple. However, they are really extremely aggravated arteries that are old and extremely weaken and worn and not blue veins of the return blood supply.
The mechanism of action as a rosacea homopathic treatment is the accelerated lymphatic drainage with reduction of redness shortly after the massage and futuristic days if the rosacea treatment massages continue. The use of the rosacea massage for lymphatic drainage with the cleansing of the face which is a two fold purpose.
The reasons for recommendation the Soybe Massage is
1) to massage the skin for better lymphatic drainage to reduce the redness and
2) to aid in reducing the acne component of those sufferers with acne as 82 % of rosacea sufferers have acne pimples in additon to rosacea redness and rosacea papules.
See the British Journal of Dermatology for reducing oedemas or swelling of the facial area due to abnormal and excessive fluid accumulation within the facial tissue
The Sobye massage is accomplished in three different ways as follows:
1) is to awaken the skin in the morning or upon arising by "rotating the fingertips on the skin" by holding the finger tips in one place and moving the hand for 10 to 15 seconds or more depending on the person's rosacea tolerance,
2) exercising the facial muscles by making many different facial expressions or exercises or contortions of "smiling, frowning, moving the facial muscles UP and DOWN and Left and RIGHT and a variety of exercises that you can choose from as to your personal choice and to those that could be watching you, and
3) the use of a washcloth and soap which additionally cleans the skin as 82% of rosacea sufferers have both rosacea and acne. The result is to relax all the muscles of your face while encouraging better circulation into the skin of the face and for proper exiting through the veins. Thinking of positive things and smiling is relaxing and moves the brain out of the sympathetic nervous system mode of "flight or flight".

Rosacea And Stress

Rosacea flushing usually occurs when the body becomes fatigued and/or stressed with the body becoming more acidic and thus more rosacea laden. The key to this is the autonomic nervous system (more specifically, the sympathetic postganglionic efferent nerves). Any activation of these nerves causes vasoconstriction of "body blood vessels" -- except in the "facial blush/flush areas" where it induces potent vasodilatation or flushing with the resulting "rosacea flush".

Stress stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and increases rosacea redness. Lack of sleep stimulates the sympathetic nervous system with a minimum of 8 to 9 hours being needed nightly to reduce stress and to reduce rosacea. Anxiety (fight or flight) stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and results in more rosacea redness. An increase in internal body temperature stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, whereas obviously a decrease in body temperature decreases the sympathetic system due to the parasympathetic system calming the system and calming the rosacea flushing.

The sympathetic nervous system is especially important to rosacea patients who tend to have one or more of the following: genetically weak blood vessels; damaged blood vessels from years of sun; damaged support system for blood vessels (collagen-elastic of skin); or an increased number of blood vessels. So much rosacea research is being done at major corporations specializing in rosacea medications.

Not A Recommendation To Buy - A Testimonial To A Product That Works!

After the birth of our son and the huge amoount of stress we were under with his special needs, I developed rosacea. I tried for a year to find products that might work--everything from dr. prescribed to over the counter to bag balm! I was desparate to find something, as I was tired of people asking if I had a sunburn or what happened to your face--the stress of this made it even worse. I searched the internet and found the rosacea-ltd products. It all made sense, the diet part, water consumption and product. I started and followed the directions, however, the soap recommended did not work with my skin. I found another that did and after about 5 weeks I started to notice a real difference. After 6 months it had faded greatly and now after 2 years it is gone. Once in a while, if I don't drink enough water or watch my diet I'll get a flair up, but my fault. The products just zap the life out of the rosacea. It was worth the cost and they last a long, long time. In fact, I think the combination of the jojaba oil, water and products make my skin look years younger. My physician tried to help me in the beginning with prescriptions, etc., to no avail. I went in for an appointment a few months ago and the first thing she noticed was my skin, she said, "it's glowing, how did you do it." I told her about it and she is recommending it to her patients. I hope this product is around forever. This isn't a pitch to buy, but a testimonial to the fact that it worked for me. I'm so happy.

Sucessful Treatment Of Rosacea

I have never written to a company to praise their products before because most of the products I have used simple did not live up to the companies claims. I am a police officer and very skeptical of anything that sounds too good to be true. This was before I started using Rosacea ltd III. I was diagnosed with Rosacea about six years ago and during the next four years I saw two general practitioners and three dermatologists for my condition. I was given several topical medications and a number of oral antibiotics none of which were effective. If anything my condition became worse over the years. I had the typical horse shoe pattern on my forehead and cheeks of redness and bumps.
I then started looking for an alternative on the internet. I tried one so-called treatment that was little more than an Aloe Vera gel that cost over $180.00 and did nothing to treat my Rosacea. I finally ran across the web site for Rosacea ltd III and decided to try one last product. After using the product for about 30 days my Rosacea was now completely under control. The proof came when I visited my mother and she immediately stated that my face had cleared up. I no longer had the bumps and redness that were constantly on my face. I have now been using your product for nearly two years with excellent results. I now have to tell people I have Rosacea because there are no outward signs.
Thank you for supplying a product that actually works.
