I have a ruddy or couperose complexion (persistent redness, especially across cheeks, nose and chin area). Is there anything that will help reduce the redness? Avoid the sun, extra heat, stress, excessive exercise, spicy foods and alcohol. It is important to determine if you have couperose (broken capillaries), rosacea, dry, sensitive skin or sun damaged skin. Couperose - A term to describe a skin condition characterized by visible distended capillaries, consistently ruddy complexion and extensive redness. To repair broken or distended capillaries one must usually seek out a medical professional. Rosacea - A chronic skin disorder that is characterized by a flushed or reddened appearance to the skin, usually across the cheeks, nose, forehead or chin that may seem to come and go. It may also be accompanied by small papular bumps, almost rash-like in appearance. There may also be raised red patches known as plaque and possibly some couperose. Eyes may also appear bloodshot and may feel gritty or irritated. This condition is most often seen in people over thirty with fair complexions. It is not altogether understood why some people develop rosacea. For a skincare program, we seek to calm, cool, soothe and protect the skin choosing products with anti-inflammatory properties. Herbs which are considered vein tonics which can strengthen fragile capillary walls and herbs which improve circulation are recommended for these conditions. Cleanse: Tone: Treat: Moisturize: Masque:
