LUXURY BOTANICALS - ROSACEA

Somebody told me that this month is "Rosacea Awareness Month," so I'm going with it!
Half of the people I talk to have some form of Rosacea.  Sometimes it's a patch here or there and sometimes it's red cheeks or worse. I'm Irish and I don't have it, so I am lucky, because people from a Celtic background are more prone to develop Rosacea  than the rest of the population.  It's exasperating and sometimes hard to control the condition. Everyone's symptoms are different and everyone has a different type of skin, so take your time and pick the right products. Remember that my products are used by dermatologists who fight the battle of Rosacea with their clients every day. Below are some of their suggestions:

One of the most important things you can do for the condition is pick the right cleanser for you skin type. Here I can help you.  If you have Rosacea and sensitive skin, pick Borage Leaf Cleanser or Chamomile Cleansing Lotion.  You could also use Limu, which is good for everyone.    If you have Rosacea with oily skin and are prone to breakouts, pick AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser or Limu Cleanser.  Try the Herbal Astringent with it and then apply Glycolic Gel Renewal serum for protection and healing.  People with Rosacea are more affected by the sun's rays than others and it can increase their breakouts, so use our Advanced Protection SPF30, designed for the dermatology marketplace.  You'll love it.  It's considered non-oily so works for people with oily skin,  and it has no fragrance. Put it on in the morning. It could be used for a make-up base.  At times when you feel the need for a light moisturizer, try non-oily Sage and Citrus Moisturizer.

We have another great product, KEEP IT CALM RELIEF SERUM. which delivers an instant calming effect to irritated skin conditions such as Rosacea....It immediately calms redness and irritation. This irritation can come from Rosacea or special treatments such as extractions, waxing, facial peels and environmental stresses such as pollution,smoking or alcohol consumption.   Apply it to clean skin.

OILY/COMBO - TEENAGERS - WHAT TO USE?

Blemishes and breakouts.  People with these problems need to be diligent about their daily cleansing routine.  The hardest group to teach this to is teenagers. It's just so hard to remember to take care of your face before bed (or anytime). In the long run, a little effort at this juncture will pay off in high dividends. Take Joe. He is 17 and has very problem skin at times. He is heavy into sports and just can't get into the low dairy - low sugar -low fat thing).  However, he is now very diligent about cleansing with a light exfoliating cleanser (AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser) and using Herbal Astringent (when he remembers).To get him to use a separate exfoliating product was impossible, so the use of an exfoliating cleanser works well. Even though he has combo skin, his skin can feel dry at times so Sage and Citrus Moisturizer does the trick. Sage and Citrus is very light and oil free. The sage, watercress and lemon bioflavonoids help to purify his skin. Boys and men tend to like the smell of this moisturizer and feel it's for "them" (but actually it's for anyone). The Roll-on Blemish Treatment stick makes it easy for quick application to his breakouts. It's transparent and rides in his pocket. So, kudos to Joe.  You're looking great!!
 (Joe:  Over-the-counter SPF can make people break out.  Try our oil-free Advanced Protection SPF 30 instead.)
