So April is "Rosacea Awareness" month - I didn’t know this before now, but I was curious to take a closer look, and what I found is…I didn’t know much about rosacea at all! First, rosacea is not limited to the face. Second, there is actually more than one type of rosacea. Most important, more than 16 million people struggle with rosacea. I had no idea! Let’s learn more…
Rosacea is a skin disorder that effects more than just a person’s outwardly appearance. People with this disorder can become so self-conscious about their condition that it impacts their self-esteem. Rosacea.org goes so far as to say “…it can cause significant psychological, social and occupational problems if left untreated.” Serious stuff.
But Rosacea doesn’t stop there. Most people find it begins in their 30’s, and it can come and go. Rosacea.org says “in some cases, rosacea may also occur on the neck, chest, scalp or ears.”
There are four types of Rosacea – the names aren’t important, they are grouped into types by their signs and symptoms, and it’s worth noting that a patient can see more than one type at a time:
There is no cure for rosacea so, what do the 16 million sufferers do?
One option is the Rodan + Fields SOOTHE regimen. It was specifically formulated to help individuals who suffer from sensitive, irritated skin. SOOTHE Regimen combines clinically proven OTC active ingredients with exclusive, patent-pending RFp3 peptide technology to shield against the biological and environmental aggressors associated with dry, irritated, sensitive skin.
The effects of rosacea can be serious but there are options. If you or someone you know suffers with rosacea, eczema, psoriasis – or even irritation and dryness from chemo/radiation treatments – let me help you get SOOTHE to repair and heal your skin!

- Flushing and persistent redness (or blushing), which may also include visible blood vessels
- Persistent redness with transient bumps and pimples
- Skin thickening, often resulting in an enlargement of the nose from excess tissue
- Dry eye, tearing and burning, swollen eyelids, recurrent styes and potential vision loss from corneal damage
