April is Rosacea awareness month, and here at Boss Gal, we have plenty of products and facial treatments to help control symptoms of this common skin condition. Rosacea affects an estimated 16 million Americans, and as many as 450 million people globally. And while it requires an official medical diagnosis from your physician, there are several common symptoms associated with Rosacea. The most common symptom is redness or flushing on the cheeks, nose and forehead. Also commonly present are small, visible blood vessels on the cheeks that are sometimes accompanied by small bumps or pimples. The cause of Rosacea is unknown and there is no cure, but with the right products and treatments, the symptoms can be managed.
Redness-reducing products
ZO Skin Health Daily Power Defense and Rozatrol
The antioxidants in Daily Power Defense provide the skin with anti-inflammatory properties while Rozatrol reduces the appearance of redness through gentle, enzymatic exfoliation and calming ingredients like milk protein.
Tip: Apply Daily Power Defense first, followed by Rozatrol. Use these products AM and PM for best results.
SkinBetter Science Alto Defense Serum
Another antioxidant serum option, Alto Defense Serum contains a powerful blend of skin-soothing ingredients that help reduce the appearance of uneven skin and redness.
