The skin of the face often takes on an unhealthy red tint. The reason for this may be sudden climate changes or a rather serious illness called rosacea. Most often, redness on the skin is a consequence of dilation of blood vessels located near the surface of the dermis. The disease can be triggered by hormonal imbalances in the body, constant stress, excessive exposure to solariums and sunbathing, as well as frequent consumption of caffeine-containing drinks. We recommend that you undergo treatment for rosacea and spider veins on the face in Moscow at the RHANA medical corporation (http://www.rhana.ru/services/aesthetic/lico/rosacea/).

To remove redness of the skin, you need to take timely treatment measures, since they are more likely to give positive results if the disease is identified and started to get rid of it in the early stages. Most often, complex therapy is required, so in addition to a dermatologist, you will have to use the services of a neurologist, endocrinologist and therapist.

If redness appears for the first time, contrasting or cold lotions will help remove it. If you are under stress, try to calm your nervous system with herbal infusions. A decoction of lemon balm and valerian is suitable for these purposes. Redness of the skin can also be caused by allergic reactions caused by the consumption of certain foods. These include all alcoholic drinks, as well as spicy, salty, smoked foods and coffee. Incorrectly selected cosmetics can also cause redness, so switch to cosmetics labeled “hypoallergenic.”

If skin redness is a constant problem for you, then start using face masks that help lighten your skin. Here are some good recipes:

Tomato mask. It is prepared from tomato pulp (one large spoon) and starch (one small spoon). The ingredients are thoroughly mixed and applied to the face for about a third of an hour.

Egg mask. You will need a mixture made from one protein and two small spoons of lemon juice. This mask should work within a quarter of an hour.

White clay mask. One large spoon of clay powder is combined with two small spoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Apply the resulting mixture to your face and wash it off after twenty minutes.

During rosacea, you need to carefully monitor your skin. Under no circumstances should you wipe it with a hard towel, expose your skin to sudden changes in temperature, or rinse it with hot water. Choose cosmetics for sensitive skin. Cosmetics should not contain mint oil, honey or alcohol.

Modern cosmetologists have developed effective methods to combat rosacea. These include photocorrection, ozone therapy, laser therapy and electrocoagulation. The essence of the latter method is that burst capillaries and vessels are simply cauterized. Laser therapy is a real salvation for people suffering from severe forms of rosacea. Ozone therapy is a mild and gentle way to get rid of skin redness, since during it a special mixture of oxygen and ozone is introduced under the skin. During photocorrection, the affected areas of the skin are exposed to high-intensity light.
