Tips on rosacea, how to achieve radiant skin

Acne rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition, characterised  by  facial flushing and abnormal dilation of the capillaries. Symptoms range from a tendency to blush easily and persistent redness of the cheeks to severe lessions on the face. Factors that can trigger the redness are hot food, sun exposure and temperature changes.

Blood vessels protectors are molecules that support vein walls and improve blood circulation: Vitamin C, bioflavonoids (pigments with antioxidant action found in strawberries, grapes, apples, cranberries, lemons and blackberries), anthocyanosides (pigments present in bilberries and hibiscus)  and also saponines which are molecules found in horse chesnut, rutin and ivy, all play a big role in protection. Ingredients rich in linoleic acid (omega 6) which keeps the skin structure compact, it works like a cement for the cells and helps to keep the skin barrier healthier for longer. Two ingredients rich in this essential fatty acid are spent grain wax and evening primrose oil. Try to use unscented products with a pH of 5.
