ROSACEA MYTHS, LEGENDS AND LIES

SEPARATING ROSACEA MYTHS FROM ROASCEA REALITY

Probably the biggest and most legendary myth about rosacea is that it’s caused by alcohol abuse. Traditionally red faces and bulbous noses are associated with heavy drinkers. Alcohol DOES NOT CAUSE rosacea but its side effects produce the side effects that are common with the signs and symptoms of rosacea.  Alcohol consumption causes the blood vessels to dilate resulting in increased blood flow to the facial area and resulting in facial flushing. Anything that affects blood flow in the body or causes the blood vessels to dilate will be symptomatic with rosacea. In this case, alcohol is not a cause of rosacea but a trigger that can aggravate your symptoms or cause your rosacea to flare.  

The traditional myth that rosacea is a disease of the Irish. Historically rosacea has occurred mainly in northern Europeans – the fair skinned blue-eyed blondes. In fact rosacea affects approximately 14 million people in the U.S. alone –blondes, brunettes, redheads, fair-skinned people, and dark-skinned people. In fact we see a growing number of Asians reporting symptoms of rosacea.  All this leads one to surmise that somehow the growing trend toward the more western culture and lifestyle may play a large part in the occurrence of rosacea. 

A misunderstood concept is the relationship between acne and rosacea. This concept that they are the same or that one causes the other was further perpetuated by the now obsolete term acne-rosacea. Acne has a bacterial component affecting the pores of the skin. Rosacea is a vascular condition causing increased blood flow to the facial areas.  This is not to say that you can’t have both at the same time, but they are completely different conditions. 

Another misconception is that rosacea is caused by what you eat – NO not true. Does diet play a role in rosacea – yes. Thermally hot beverages such as a steaming cup of coffee or spicy foods can result in vascular dilation increasing the blood flow to the facial areas, resulting in a symptomatic rosacea flare.

The theory that rosacea is caused by sun burns. The sun rays can burn the skin making more sensitive and damaging the cell structure of the skin. The heat of the sun can result in a flushed or red face. So again this is a common trigger can result in a rosacea flare, but not a cause of rosacea.
Probably the scariest misconception about rosacea is that everyone with rosacea will grow a big misshapen nose – a condition called Rhinophyma. If left untreated, a small percentage of people with rosacea will see a progression of the condition leading to a red, bulbous appearance of the nose.
So now that we have dispelled all the things that rosacea IS NOT, let’s discuss what ROSACEA IS.

 Rosacea is actually aninflammatory vascular condition causing facial redness, inflammation andsometimes a degree of swelling to the facial area.  Rosacea has been typically thought to affect only the face, in fact there are those who experience the symptoms of rosacea on the neck, upper chest and eyes. The more common of these would be the involvement of the eyes. Rosacea in the eyes may cause a sensation that you have something –dirt, sand or grit- in the eye. The eyes may become red, watery or inflamed.

Total Remission With Rosacea-Ltd

I just wanted to drop you a note. Your Rosacea Ltd IV product has put me into total remission, truly amazing results in such a short time. My face is normal after almost 30 years. I also have rid myself of the Foliculitus on my legs with these disc. Thanks for this product.

Rosacea-ltd Controls my Rosacea

I've been using Rosacea-Ltd for 3 years. It works well and controls my rosacea condition. I had treated my rosacea with steroids prior to starting the disks and they were very harsh on the skin and made it dry, so I stopped using them and ordered Rosacea-Ltd. I would consider my rosacea to be quite mild at this time.

Rosacea Defined

Rosacea is seen as a redness in the appearance of the skin. Rosacea symptoms may progress to include swelling of the facial areas, the appearance of spidery veins just below the surface of the skin, swelling of the facial features and red bumps or acne pimples. Stress, dehydration and topical ointments can result in a worsening of the condition.

Rosacea-Ltd is the BEST!

Rosacea Ltd is the BEST. This is my 3rd or 4th year using it, and my skin has had very few problems since I started...and flare ups only occur when I have (knowingly) engaged in trigger activities. I also wanted to let you know that my naturopath suggested I go gluten-free for my rosacea, and after being gluten free for a year I can say that it has helped ENORMOUSLY. Now my face will break out if I have gluten. It is healing well and I suggest a gluten-free diet for anyone dealing with rosacea.

Treating Rosacea

 Improving your rosacea may involve a complete change in your approach to treating and controlling rosacea. The best results may be achieved by using this simple guideline:

Stop, Heal and Treat.

Stop what you have been doing.

Heal- give you skin time to heal from what you've been doing. Your skin often needs this calming down period to recover and as a preparation for a new treatment.

Treat your skin with a soothing treatment specially blended to improve the appearance of your rosacea such as Rosacea-Ltd. Rosacea-Ltd users see an improvement in their rosacea.

Tremendous Relief With Rosacea-Ltd

I have been using the Rosacea-Ltd product for about a year and it has helped my rosacea tremendously. Thank you so much! Both the website and the product have been so helpful. I have the acid vs alkaline chart in my kitchen and changing my eating habits has been very important. I recognize I need to be drinking more water, especially as winter is here, and I can tell a difference when I don't. I am just using Jojoba oil as a moisturizer as recommended, though my face (especially in winter) can get pretty dry. I am wondering if you have any other suggestions on this (besides the obvious of drinking more water).

90% Clearer Skin With Rosaea-Ltd

I am re-ordering Rosacea-Ltd. Wonderful results. Clear almost 90% of the time, especially if no sugar is consumed; this is the single biggest factor, followed by stress, then adequate sleep is third in importance.

Rosacea-Ltd is Amazing!

Hi, I want to tell you that the Rosacea-ltd disks are AMAZING! They totally transformed my skin. I had horrible roseacea with burning throbbing pain everyday and now my skin is normal, no flushing at all, even in warm temperatures. I am extremely impressed. I have used the disks for over 4 years. My question is, will I always be able to buy the disks? I would be devastated if for some reason you stopped selling them.


Many thanks,

Kelly

Rosacea-Ltd

I have been using your Rosacea-Ltd products for the past year and have seen much improvement. no breakouts in several months. ~~P.N.

Rosacea Ltd is very Effective

I discovered Rosacea Limited on the Internet on my own a number of years ago (perhaps 10 years ago?) It was very effective. So much so, that I discontinued use after several reorders, because the rosacea appeared to disappear. I have recently noticed a flaring up and, therefore, wish to reorder.
