A faceful of red – and how to cure it



Rosacea is a common skin allergy that causes a reddish flare on the skin. We shed light on the condition and suggest some simple remedies to reduce it.

Your gorgeous skin and pretty features often come in for their share of compliments. These compliments can make you blush. But lately, you blush and the blush doesn’t go away for a long time. It is embarrassing to have a constantly red face – but there doesn’t seem to be anything you can do about it.

Fair skinned people can find their skin flushing when they’re exercising, or when they blush, or when they’re having a fever. The redness in the skin is caused by the blood vessels dilating in response to increased heart beats. However, they should go back to normal after a while. If you find that your skin is often red for long periods of time, and if there are pimples or pustules on the reddish skin, you probably have a skin allergy known as ‘rosacea’.

There is no known cause or skin allergy treatment for rosacea. But your dermatologist can prescribe oral medication that controls the symptoms of rosacea. The dermatologist can also recommend a topical cream or a skin treatment to reduce the redness and signs of pimples on the skin.

If you are sceptical about trying chemical skin allergy treatments for your rosacea, you can try natural home remedies instead. But be warned that these will take a little longer to work, though they may be as effective as the medication your doctor prescribes:

Green tea: Green tea is packed with several antioxidants that remove the toxins from the body and improve your skin’s health. Steep green tea for a couple of minutes, then cool it in the refrigerator. Now take a cotton ball and apply the cold green tea all over your face. Wash after 30 minutes with cold water. The green tea will aid in skin healing and restoration.

Honey and lemon: Honey is a proven ingredient that locks in moisture, while lemon lightens and tones the skin. Both exhibit important anti-infection properties as well. Add a few drops of lemon juice to a teaspoon of honey and apply it on the affected skin. The skin gets hydrated and its appearance improves, with a reduction in pimples and redness.

Apple cider vinegar: It restores the skin’s pH levels, which helps to control rosacea. Try a simple skin allergy treatment using one teaspoon raw apple cider vinegar, half teaspoon honey and one teaspoon plain water. Apply the mixture to the affected skin and wash after 30 minutes.

Aloe vera gel: Aloe vera has several curative properties for problem skin, and it shows good effects in controlling the symptoms of rosacea. Apply fresh aloe vera gel to the affected skin every morning before your shower. Wash with cold water and enjoy fresh, supple skin free of red patches and pimples.


Lavender or flaxseed oil: Lavender essential oil shows great effects on reducing rosacea, as does flaxseed oil. Mix two drops of lavender or flaxseed oil to one tablespoon of coconut oil, and apply it on the affected skin. This mixture shows anti-inflammatory properties, which helps in the treatment of rosacea.

All You Need To Know About Skin Pigmentation

Skin pigmentation can take many forms, and the condition points to an imbalance in the skin cells that produce melanin. This article looks at the condition. You may have noticed it in somebody else, or maybe in yourself – a discoloured patch of skin on the face or body, either darker than the rest of the skin or lighter. There are some whose entire body is covered in white skin, accompanied by light hair and eyes. In others, there are prominent spots or skin lesions. All of these conditions point to different types of skin pigmentation. What is it? Skin pigmentation is a general term used to describe a change in the skin’s cellular composition that brings about discolouration of the skin. The skin gets its colour from melanin, a pigment present in the dermis. It is produced by melanocytes, which are special cells present in the upper layer of the skin called the epidermis. When melanin is produced, it quickly starts spreading across the skin – thus, your skin is uni

Botox and Facial Fillers – How do they work?

There is a difference in the way botox and dermal facial fillers work. This article explains the need for both, and how to get a good treatment for botox in Dubai. Wrinkles and fine lines are a natural effect of aging. But they can make you look much older than your actual years. If you want to get rid of these unseemly wrinkles, you could consider getting a filler injection or Botox in Dubai. How are Botox and dermal filler treatments different? Most people are confused between Botox and dermal facial filler treatments. Though both are used to reduce the fine lines and wrinkles on the face, they are dramatically different in the way they are administered and how they function. With Botox, you are administered tiny doses of Botulinum Toxin, a neurotoxin that is injected into the nerve in the wrinkle being targeted. The nerve is deactivated temporarily, thus inhibiting the muscle that it sends impulses to. In turn, the muscle is also deactivated, which relaxes the
