And it works … read Rachel’s story.

For the longest time, my raw, red skin had plagued me, and I tried everything to cure my rosacea!! I thought my skin was too sensitive to products I washed with, so I changed them often and nothing worked.

I even tried using sunscreen, but it wasn’t sunburn I was suffering from, although it often felt like it. It seemed I was doomed to have a burning red face.

At work, I splashed my face with water when I felt one of my frequent burning sessions coming on. Nothing worked.

Then I found Zenmed treatment for rosacea called the Support Serum System. When I wash with the cleanser, it feels like heaven on my face.

Both treatments together have taken the redness and irritation out of my skin. I hate wearing makeup, and it was only a few short weeks later, on Christmas, I wore no foundation for the first time in a year! My skin looked great in pictures! I love the feeling of this treatment. I strongly recommend it!

How the treatment works.

Zenmed’s years of research have shown that rosacea must be first prevented from spreading, before the symptoms can be controlled and reduced.

Zenmed has developed its unique 3-step treatment, that tackles this skin disorder in the most effective way possible.

During this extensive research Zenmed also discovered that synthetic man-made substances can cause rosacea symptoms. As a result, the Rosacea Support System contains only all-natural-botanicals known for their anti-inflammatory, soothing, calming, healing and skin-strengthening properties.

This effective 3-step system works as follows

• Step 1 Prevention – A cleansing cream that contains all-natural anti-bacterial agents that gently cleanse the skin by removing any impurities.
• Step 2 Calming – A non-pore-blocking soothing mask which contains the anti-inflammatory ingredients; Green Tea; Cucumber and Willow Bark Extract. This calming mask soothes away inflammation and that annoying redness.
  
• Step 3 Healing – The Support Serum is the essential step that strengthens, heals and nourishes the skin against future flare-ups. This serum also contains a verity of all-natural ingredients that soothe away the redness

Synchrorose® Intensive contains Silymarin, which has been shown to reduce erythema, Acetyl Glucosamine, Tocopherol Acetate and a number of other products which help raise ‘Trigger Tolerance Thresholds’.

Our Opinion

A good and complete all-round system for tackling and reducing the symptoms of Rosacea and general facial redness. It contains soothing and calming ingredients and has a proven medical record to back up the results. The claim a visible reduction in Rosacea in 10-14 days in 75% of cases is probably may be an ambitious time. However, we highly recommend this product as an effective solution at treating Rosacea and Facial Redness.

The dosage in Metrogel1% is the highest available on the market. It reduces the inflammation, redness and bumps common to Rosacea.

Ingredients
In addition to the active ingredient metronidazole, Metrogel also exclusively contains HSA-3™, which is a combination of the products betadex, propylene glycol and vitamin B3, also known as niacinamide. These ingredients as well as a gel, which is 92% water-based is what makes up Metrogel 1%. The gel not only provides easy application but helps your skin absorb the medicinal properties of the treatment.

Advantages for users of Metrogel 1%

1. It is only applied once daily.
2. The gentle gel formula is soft on the skin and is easy to apply.
3. It has no drying agents such as alcohol.
4. There is scientific proof that Metrogel 1% does not promote moisture loss or cause damage to the skin’s outer layer.

Our Opinion

Metro Gel is primarily aimed at Rosacea symptoms in severe cases and has produced good results in many of these. However there is a risk of a few side effects especially to those with sensitive skin, which can aggravate the problem it was meant to heal. Before considering this treatment we advise that you consult a dermatologist or doctor first.

Our Opinion – A Treatment For Mild Facial Redness

It does contain licorice as do many products these days which has known anti-inflammatory properties.

Eucerin has more than 13 different products that make up the complete anti-redness system – you can choose your own combination to meet your needs. We recommend this for mild redness but not for rosacea. If you have medium to severe facial redness you should consider another product on our site the that targets this as well as rosacea.

Why is My Face Always Red?

Facial flushing is an involuntary reddening of the face and is usually a normal healthy physiological response. However, in some cases the frequent prolonged flushing can be the beginnings of a rosacea skin condition, and it is important to treat this as soon as possible. The cause of facial blushing or flushing is usually associated with stress, embarrassment, alcohol, reaction to chemicals and perfumes in soaps or even spicy foods.

These triggers stimulate the sympathetic nervous system and In the facial areas causes dilation of blood vessels which leads to flushing and the red complexion. This frequent and severe flushing can lead to weakened or damaged blood vessels, inflammation and finally to rosacea.

***It is so vitally important part of any ‘Rosacea or Facial Flushing Treatment is to avoid your own personal triggers. This can only be done by noting them down so you will know which ones to avoid. Any facial redness or rosacea treatments such as Topical Creams or even Laser & IPL will fail if you don’t attempt to avoid most or all of the triggers Below we ha.ve provided a PDF diary which you can download and print out***

Some Known Main Causes & Triggers of Facial Flushing And Rosacea

• A lack of sleep stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, causing blood vessel dilation

• Adrenaline flushing – Stress and anxiety at work ,home or school stimulates the sympathetic nervous system.

• An increase in internal body temperature stimulates the sympathetic nervous system stimulated by hot or acidic drinks.
• Damaged blood vessels from constant exposure to the sun.
• Problems with the collagen-elasticity of the skin caused by a damaged support system for the blood vessels
• Weakened blood vessels and skin irritation caused by inappropriate skin care, acne and rosacea treatments, such as steriods and strong acidic based products.
• After a heavy meal – This flushing is caused by additional stress on the digestive system resulting in more blood needed by the digestive system with the residual blood being heavier to the face.
• Hot showers and baths – Causes vascular dilation and redness.
• Alcohol – Is metabolized very quickly causing the blood vessels to dilate resulting in facial redness. Alcohol is also a diuretic pushing water out of the body cells lowering the body and brain pH levels. As a result this dehydrated condition causes flushing.
• Smoking – Deprives the skin of oxygen dilates blood vessels and reduces vitamin C levels in the skin which is vital for the building of collagen, Smoking also causes the emission of free radicals which destroy the blood capillary structure.
• Allergies – Pollen, pets and food allergies that causes constant flushing can lead to rosacea symptoms.

The first cardinal sign of rosacea: blood vessels dilate to more stimuli, open wider and stay open for longer periods of time compared to normal persons. No visible damage can normally be seen.

Mild Rosacea

Begins when the facial redness induced by flushing persists for an abnormal length of time – usually 1/2 an hour or more after a trigger. Those who have frequent pre-rosacea flushing are highly susceptible to progressing to mild rosacea. Some of the common triggers for a facial flush are heat, cold, emotions, exercise, topical irritants and allergic reactions.

Moderate Rosacea

As facial flushing becomes more frequent and intense, vascular damage occurs. This can result in long lasting redness, swelling and inflammatory papules and pustules. Telangiectasia (damaged micro blood vessels, often visible on the surface of the skin) may be noticed in the areas where flushing is worst.

Severe Rosacea

Characterised by intense bouts of facial flushing, severe inflammation, facial pain, swelling and burning sensations. Sufferers may develop intolerance to products they were able to use before. Also inflammatory papules, pustules and nodules may be present. Some experience a bulbous enlargement of the nose, known as rhinophyma. This is just a guide, you may of course experience symptoms outside these ranges.

Rosacea Subtype 1

Subtype 1: Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea

characterized by flushing and persistent redness, and may also include visible blood vessels.

Rosacea Subtype 2Subtype 2: Papulopustular rosacea

Subtype 2: Characterized by persistent redness with transient bumps and pimples.

Rosacea Subtype 3

Subtype 3: Phymatous rosacea

characterized by skin thickening, often resulting in an enlargement of the nose from excess tissue.

Rosacea Subtype 4

Subtype 4: Ocular rosacea

characterized by ocular manifestations such as dry eye, tearing and burning, swollen eyelids,     recurrent styes and potential vision loss from corneal damage.

Lifestyle Management

While you treat the visible symptoms of rosacea and flushing it is vitally important to treat the cause. As we have mentioned earlier in this site, it is important to keep a ‘Rosacea/Flushing’ diary to log the possible causes that trigger these out breaks or flare-ups. This will enable you to plan and modify your lifestyle to avoid these causes which will both prevent you developing rosacea or significantly speed up the healing process if you already have it. Lifestyle management will include changing your diet and avoiding or protecting yourself from the environmental factors that trigger this skin disorder.

Control stress and anxiety

Stressful situations do cause flushing. However, avoiding these situations is not the answer as the condition will only escalate if not properly managed. Learning methods of managing and controlling stress and anxiety will considerably reduce the problem, or even eliminate it completely. You can read more about techniques for Stress and Anxiety Management on this page.

Avoid or limit stimulants

Vascular dilators including coffee, tea, cigarettes, and excessive sugar from sweets and soft drinks should be avoided or substantially reduced where possible. Research has shown that soft drinks that contain Aspartame or NutraSweet cause flushing and redness in about 30% of rosacea sufferers. Stimulants such as caffeine that is found in tea and coffee excites the nervous system, which results in blood vessel dilatation and redness. In addition, stress and anxiety symptoms are also increased.

Avoid or limit alcohol

It is best to avoid alcohol or reduce consumption.
Avoid hot baths and showers or very cold water

To prevent vascular dilation hot and very cold water should be avoided. Instead water below body temperature of 37 degrees centigrade (97 degrees Fahrenheit) should be used.

Diet revision

Foods and drinks that cause facial redness and vascular dilation, should be avoided. Foods types that cause these allergic flare-ups vary from individual to individual and the exact reasons for these food allergies are still unknown. However, it is thought that foods high in calories and carbohydrates (sugars, breads, pastas), that give high burn and energy rates, dilate blood vessels and cause the red complexion. It has also been suggested that foods high in histidine such as tomatoes and red peppers raise anti-histamine levels in the body. Anti-histamine is produced by an automated process to help fight allergic reactions, but unfortunately this can also cause flushing to those prone to rosacea.

Rosacea sufferers have noted allergic reactions to: vinegars, hot spices, citrus fruits, red plums, raisins, figs, pasta, cheese, and chocolates as being among the worst offenders. Vascular dilators such as hot drinks and hot foods should be allowed to cool before consuming. The list of food allergies varies from individual to individual. However, you can devise and plan your own diet by recording the foods which cause your facial flushing and allergic reactions.

Use sun block

The sun is a major cause of rosacea flare-ups and skin irritation which affects 61% of rosacea sufferers. To protect against this, ensure a sun block with a high SPF factor of 30+ is applied especially to the face and other area before exposure to the sun.

Avoid astringent soaps and cleansing agents

Astringent soaps, and cleansing agents that contain alcohol only dry and irritate the skin by stripping the protective sebum oil coating. To rosacea prone people this skin irritation may lead to a rosacea flare-up/outbreak. Alcohol based cleansing agents also shrink pores which can trap oil causing swelling, and as result lead to acne symptoms or cysts

Only a soothing moisturising cleaning solution that heals and nourishes the skin should be used, such as the skin treaments products for acne and rosacea recommended on this site.

Audio Track 5. Self Hypnosis Stop Being Embarrassed – Uncommon Knowledge

Most of us have been embarrassed at some time or another. That sickening feeling of awkwardness and self consciousness can trip you up and make what should be good times difficult; even traumatic. Blushing and stammering and that horrible over awareness of your every movement and the way you walk even all merge to make embarrassment so uncomfortable.  Embarrassment stops you being able to think and prevents you acting naturally. Embarrassment nearly always involves other people the feeling that the attention is suddenly all on you. Being embarrassed easily and often can prevent us forming close ties and friendships. Regular embarrassment can also get in the way of job and career satisfaction.

The feeling that we are no good and what we have to say isn’t worth saying. Where you’re embarrassed you feel clumsy and foolish. You care too much what others think and imagine that they must be judging you harshly.

During this session we are going to start the process of replacing embarrassment in specific situations with calm and comfort. This will mean you get to be able to think clearly again and act naturally in those times.

Audio Track 6. Self-Hypnosis Stop Being Self-Conscious- Uncommon Knowledge

Being self conscious is horrible. That nasty feeling that everyone is watching you, judging you and you are the unwanted center of attention.

Of course we can all have some awareness of what others might think of us at least some of the time. If we didn’t have this natural consideration we would be antisocial. But to always be self conscious around others mean that we become afraid to speak our minds, to innovate or to enjoy ourselves fully.

When you begin to calm down then your thinking becomes less extreme and more moderate, you stop assuming other people are thinking the worst of you? Why? Because you stop thinking so much or, I should say ‘imagining’ so much about other people’s perceptions and focus on your own instead.

This self-hypnosis track will get you feeling super relaxed and less fearful of what you imagine other people are thinking about you.

Audio Track 7. Self-Hypnosis Gain Great Self-confidence  – Paul Mckenna

This self-confidence hypnosis session does what it says – it hypnotically builds your confidence, allowing you to be more relaxed and capable in situations that were previously challenging.

Audio Track 8. Self-Hypnosis Instant Stress Relief – Uncommon Knowledge

This is achieved by using a combination of quality skin strengthening and anti-inflammatory products that target facial redness. Together with powerful techniques that provide you with the tools to remain calm, comfortable and relaxed in any given situation.

Firstly, Understanding Why We Blush

Blushing is a natural automated bodily response to situations that are considered to be of danger. The increased blood flow prepares the person to either fight or flee from the dangerous situation.

For people that blush easily, for example through embarrassment, the mind wrongly imagines an innocent social situation to be threatening or intimidating. Which of course will start the automated fight or flight response. Eventually, this can develop into what is known as a thinking trap, an emotional cycle that needs to be broken.

For example, now close your eyes and imagine vividly that you are walking into a crowded room. You don’t know anyone. Everybody is staring at you, the room has suddenly gone quiet. They are waiting for you to say something. You panic, you don’t know what to say. Your heart is racing you feel your cheeks burning andyou can hear the blood rushing through the ears. You look down, afraid to make eye contact. The room feels hot, you have to get out…

If you started feeling the signs of anxiety of actually being in that situation, you can see the how powerful, the imagination is. By learning the following powerful techniques you will be able to break these negative thinking traps, allowing you to remain calm and relaxed in these situations. Which of course will help to reduce, control or even prevent blushing.

It is a fact that you cannot be embarrassed/anxious and calm and relaxed at the same time.

Secondly, Everyone Blushes

Yes, this is absolutely true. However, in some people it is not visible at all, and in others various degrees of redness are seen.

The reason that blushing is visible in some people, is that their blood capillaries are closer to the skin surface or their capillaries may be damaged or even weakened by, for example, from over exposure to the sun.

However, blushing through physical activity is healthy a response and should be encouraged. This will lead to reduced stress and anxiety as well as a healthy circulation and stronger capillaries.

The Negative Psychological Consequences of Using Redness Cover-Up Creams

You may be already using one of the green tinted creams that aim to cover up redness. These creams are quite effective at reducing the appearance of redness, but ensure you use a quality product that is kind on sensitive cream – you don’t want to make the redness worse.

However, an emotional dependency and total reliance to these creams can develop. As a result will have a profound impact on daily life – maybe you are experiencing some or all of the following.

• You avoid physical activities as you are worried sweat may wash away the cover-up cream.
• You never leave your home without it, and panic when you forget it.
• Emotional stress of concealing your blushing to new acquaintances.
• Constantly paranoid that people can see that you are wearing a green tinted cover-up cream.
• Hate the sun, humidity, rain, swimming, holidays or anything that can remove the cover-up.

We are not suggesting don’t use these as we know they can provide some comfort, especially to those who have a permanent bright red skin. On the other hand, we firmly believe that it is best to accept and tackle the root problems of blushing than trying to conceal it.

Easier said than done, I know But at least you won’t have to suffer the above emotional consequences of having to rely on temporary measures.

A Step by Step Guide To Control And Reduce Blushing Periods

Before we start, I must add that there is no skin care cream or oral supplement that can prevent or control blushing.

However, it is important to use a clinically proven topical cream/lotion that reduces inflammation, soothes, strengthens and nourishes the skins cells and capillary walls. As a result the skin becomes less sensitive to environmental factors that trigger blushing and the redness intensity becomes significantly less. All the information for these clinically proven topical treatments are found here.

If these creams are used in combination with the following techniques, you will have the most powerful tools to control blushing.

Step 1. Acceptance, Announce it – Don’t Try And Hide It

Accept that you blush. Don’t try and conceal it when it happens, that only makes the blushing worse. For example, you could say when it happens, “Dammit, it’s happening again, my annoying red cheeks are flaring up for no reason.”

This way it is out in the open to you and all around, eliminating the stress of trying to look away or conceal it. I know this is easier said than done, but once you have said it, you have made a giant step towards controlling it.

Hypothetically speaking, if there happened to be a stage around and a blusher had the guts to climb upon it and shout out to the audience, “I’m a blusher.” he or she would probably never blush again!

Step 2. Practice This Calming Breathing Technique

This simple method focuses your mind onto your breathing and away from the fixation of your outward appearance and the expectation of blushing. This is not easy at the beginning but, with practice it will become natural and it will help to calm any embarrassing or anxious feelings that usually triggers blushing. Try practicing this breathing exercise in private to master it.

• Breathe in deeply to a silent count of four.
• Hold your breath to a silent count of four.
• Exhale to a silent count of four (expel all the air from lungs).
• Repeat this process until the anxiety subsides.

Steps 3 & 4. The Powerful Techniques of Self-Hypnosis And NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)

This is a very powerful technique for re-training the mind to be relaxed and comfortable in situations you normally blush in. Self -hypnosis is an effective method of building self-confidence, self-esteem other self-development and improvement needs and every imaginable phobia.

Self-hypnosis is a relaxed state of focused awareness that opens the subconscious mind. Once opened, the negative thoughts can be over written with fresh new positive ones, leading to a better way of thinking. Self-hypnosis is now considered to be an effective clinically proven treatment, that is now endorsed by the medical profession.

Step 5. Congratulations, Start Enjoying The Situations That Once Caused You To Blush

If you have applied the above techniques you are well on your way to personal contentment or more aptly quoted by the Hypnotherapy company Uncommon Knowledge Ltd.

“Just think when you feel unembarrassed and relaxed your whole life will expand and be enriched.”

There is nothing wrong with extracting factual information from authoritative sites and re-creating a wholly new article to suit the marketing needs of your own product. However, to mislead a sufferer who is looking for an honest solution, by manipulating the factual information creating a fantasy of expected results, is plainly unkind.

During my quest and intensely desperate search for a working treatment, I encountered this vast array of  rosacea products, some claiming such amazing results, that they appeared to be miracle cures of almost biblical proportions.

The True Facts of Rosacea Are

It cannot be cured. Rosacea symptoms can be managed and significantly reduced with the right treatment.

1. Rosacea can be prevented if treated early and the appropriate lifestyle changes taken avoiding the causes that trigger these Rosacea outbreaks and flare-ups

Rosacea treatments that are applied in the comfort of your own home can be divided into two categories: prescription and non-prescription.

Rosacea Prescription Treatments

As the name suggests, these can only be obtained via a certified medical practitioner’s prescription. However, I have found that there are disreputable online pharmacies who sell these without a prescription. There is a reason why these treatments require a medical prescription: the side effects can be severe. Notably the recent tragic death of a Welsh teenager that hit the headlines, who was using a prescribed acne treatment.

An Abundance of Non-Prescription Rosacea Treatments

This group is by far the largest, most of which fall into the sub-category ‘ All-Natural Botanical Rosacea Products.’  These natural products often contain essences or extracts from flowers, herbs, fruits  and a plethora of other exotic natural  ingredients.

So before you contemplate buying one of these All-Natural rosacea products ensure that it has been  endorsed by the medical profession. It has proven clinical results. And it has a gained seal of approval from a Governmental Authority such as the U.S. Food And Drug Administration(FDA)  or equivalent authorities in your appropriate country.

Your Final Choice

Your final selection procedure is to select products that come with satisfaction money back guarantees; the longer the better. The reason being that it usually takes more than a month before you see any visible results. So it is usual that companies that guarantee their products offer 60 days or more.

Now you have shortlisted your selection you need to make a final choice. Lowest rice we do not believe should be the deciding factor. We consider customer reviews from an independent review site should be the key to making your decision.

Do Not Become Disillusioned If Your Choice Fails

Get your money back and try something new such as your second choice. Each person is unique so what works on one person may not work on you.

*We always suggest if you are suffering from a skin disorder you should seek a professional diagnosis from a  Doctor or Dermatologist. The advice on this site is not aimed to replace that.

My first article ‘Flushing, Blushing, Facial Redness Misconceptions and Treatments’  dealt with flushing, which is usually a natural automated, psychological or allergic response to environmental changes.

Furthermore, the first article highlighted, that these responses can be reduced, controlled and prevented using a combination of methods and treatments. These include relaxation, physical exercise, lifestyle changes,  topical treatments and natural supplements; or in extreme cases prescribed medication and therapy maybe necessary.

Permanent facial redness is a physical condition whereby the blood vessels and capillaries have become damaged as a consequence of:

• Over exposure to the sun.
• Long term and frequent unhealthy flushing (not physical exercise flushing).
• Toxins caused by long term high alcohol consumption.
• Hereditary condition.
• Symptoms of rosacea.
• Free radicals that damage skin. Example, from smoking.

Damaged blood vessels or thread veins are often referred to as broken. This does not imply they are leaking, it means they have become permanently dilated. As a result the blood constantly remains visible. If rosacea symptoms are present, lumps, bumps, and thickened red skin may accompany the visible capillaries.

How is Permanent Facial Redness Treated?

Facial redness and damaged capillaries can be treated by using either topical creams or IPL (Intense Pulse Light Therapy) and Laser treatment. The aim of topical treatments is to shrink damaged blood vessels and capillaries and strengthen skin cell walls against future damage. Laser & IPL treatments target and destroy damaged blood vessels and capillaries.

The most commonly asked question by people experiencing facial redness and rosacea is; which type of treatment is best? Let’s now let’s take a look at each.

Laser and IPL Treatments

Laser Treatment can only be applied by certified medical professionals. It works by emitting an intense narrow beam of light heats and destroys the damaged capillary. There is a slight risk of scar ring with laser treatment.

IPL Treatment can be applied by non certified people such as beauty salon assistants.  IPL flashes light, which matches the color of blood in the vessel. The IPL light energy is absorbed by the blood in the vessel, the blood is heated and the vessel is damaged and removed, but all other tissues around the blood vessel are not affected. IPL is more popular for this type of treatment as it is faster, supposedly gives less after effects and there is no risk of scarring.

Instant results.

Truths

It takes around 5 treatments over a 6 month period  for best results.

Pros

• High success rate.
• Visible results in just a few treatments.

• Painful with swelling sometimes experienced afterwards that can last a few days.
• Possible side effects; hyperpigmentation, nausea and swelling
• High cost, up to $1500 for 5 treatments.
• The risk of getting a poor quality treatment by unprofessional IPL operators.
• No Money Back Guarantee

Reputable Topical Treatments

Quality topical treatments endorsed by the medical profession contain natural active ingredients that aim to reduce inflammation, promote healing as well as nourishing and strengthening the skin.

Other topical creams that contain Vitamin K specifically target visible broken blood vessels by aiding the coagulation of the blood as a result eliminating the blood vessel. These Vitamin K creams are used by plastic surgeons to aid and speed up the healing process as well as limiting scarring

The philosophy behind topical treatments is that they target the root cause and not just the immediate symptoms.

Misconceptions

Fast results

Truths

Like laser and IPL treatments, they take a few months before effective results are seen.

Pros

• It costs a fraction of laser/IPL at around $150 for a 6 month treatment.
• No side effects
• Long term
• Money Back Guarantee

Cons

• Lower success rate than Laser/IPL
• Visible results take longer than with Laser/IPL.

There is no 100% guarantee that either solution will work, or that the redness symptoms or damaged capillaries will return. However, the reputable topical products come with a 100% Satisfaction Money Back Guarantee.

From this you can deduce that the best course of action is to start with a reputable topical products. If that fails to give results, then of course you will get your money back and can start saving for the laser or IPL treatment and hope that it works.

The second article will be about permanent facial redness, what it is, how it is caused, and the treatments available to reduce or even eliminate the annoying red complexion.

Emotional and Psychological Impact of Flushing

As a former veteran flusher and rosacea sufferer, I am fully aware of the psychological effect that creates a lack of self-confidence and self-esteem. As a result these inhibitions can prevent the personality from blossoming in a normal and positive way.

My road was a long and painful one before I eventually found my solution, which was a combination of cognitive therapy, prescribed anti-depressive medication and a topical rosacea treatment that successfully worked.

The cognitive therapy and the prescribed medication could have been avoided, if I had known what I know today. However, sometimes the psychological symptoms are so extreme, as in social phobia, that prescribed medication and therapy are necessary.

Now let me explain about the symptoms, causes and possible treatments.

Flushing – A Natural Response

‘ Fight of Flight’ is a natural automated self-defense mechanism that prepares the body for facing or avoiding an oncoming danger. This process is handled by the sympathetic nervous system. Which dilates the blood vessels to ensure that sufficient blood will reach the parts of the body needed to deal with danger, such as the muscles. This increased blood flow becomes visible in the areas where the blood vessels are closer to the surface of the skin, such as the chest, neck and facial regions.

Flushing Triggers

Hot drinks, hot or spicy foods, hot baths and hot temperatures cause the body’s natural thermostat to dilate blood vessels allowing a greater flow of blood to the surface, which helps aid the cooling process.

Stimulants such as caffeine and alcohol or food and drinks with a high sugar content, are vascular dilators that may cause flushing and perspiration

Healthy Flushing

During strenuous activity, there is an increase in blood flow through the dilated blood vessels which becomes visible. This type of flushing is a totally natural process and a positive sign of good health.

Exercise is an effective method of alleviating stress and anxiety and the importance of this method to help reduce flushing flare-ups, should never be underestimated.

Unhealthy Flushing

People who have an over active sympathetic nervous system experience frequent flushing flare-ups. The reason being that innocent situations such as social occasions are wrongly interpreted as dangerous and the automated defense system is activated and flushing occurs

These constant flushing episodes may eventually lead to a reduction in self-confidence and self-belief, which ultimately can have an impact on relationships, work.and general happiness.

The Two Most Common Questions Asked By People Who Flush Frequently

Question: Does everybody flush?

Answer: Yes

Question: Then if they do, why doesn’t it show in everyone?

Answer: Because, in some people the blood vessels and capillaries are closer to the skin surface which increases the redness visibility.

How can I stop Flushing?

Firstly, you have to acknowledge the fact that some types of flushing cannot be reduced or prevented, notably flushing that prevails after and during exercise. This is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about, ask any sportsman, sportswoman or athlete that either experience facial redness or not.

Secondly, acceptance is the key. You must accept the fact that you flush easily and stop trying to hide it – this is covered shortly

Treat The Root Cause And Avoid The Triggers

The only long term treatment of flushing is by treating the root cause; which is the over active sympathetic nervous system including the psychological problems that may have been caused.

Lifestyle changes to avoid or limit the triggers that cause your flushing must be applied.

Laser Treatment, Topical Treatment and Natural Oral Supplements

Laser cannot be used as treatment because healthy blood vessels that supply the blood to skin cells cannot obviously be removed.

The Natural Oral supplements that help are the ones that contain active ingredients that relieve stress, anxiety or depression. And also the ones that contain ingredients which protect and nourish the skin from the daily hazards such as from the infamous free-radicals that damage cells.

Clinically proven topical creams or lotions aimed at treating rosacea contain natural anti-inflammatory ingredients that help to reduce the immediate flushing symptoms. The main importance of using only reputable topical treatments is that they also contain active ingredients that strengthen skin cell walls. This in the long term, can prevent capillary damage caused by the constant unhealthy flushing periods that may lead to a permanent red complexion or even rosacea.

Prescribed Medical Treatment And Cognitive Therapy

Sometimes the emotional problems caused by excessive flushing have become so extensive that prescribed medical treatment and therapy maybe required.

Prescribed Medical Treatments

Beta Blockers – Which controls nerve impulses to the heart and are used to treat anxiety, panic attacks, high blood pressure and flushing.

Anti-Depressive Medication – Often known as ‘happy pills’ these anti-depressive drugs such as Sertralin and Remeron are used to treat symptoms of social phobia, which prevents nervous flushing and sweating symptoms in any type of situation.

Cognitive Therapy – This is an excellent therapy that provides the mental tools and strength to deal with the root causes that trigger these episodes of flushing. As a result it gives the person the ability to keep flushing under control and to accept it for what it is and not worry about it.

The Last Resort – Surgery

This is an operation that cuts the nerve located under the armpit which is linked to the sympathetic nervous system responsible for flushing.
