Remedies for Rosacea

What is rosacea? It is a chronic inflammation of the sebaceous follicles of the face, especially in the area of the cheeks, forehead, chin and nose, and which is accompanied by a dilation of small capillaries.

Although it is not a serious disorder, appearing on the face can lead to emotional consequences. The most common symptoms are redness, rashes (similar to acne), eye irritation, and sensation of burning or itching of the face. Having clear skin makes us more prone to suffer from rosacea. It is also more common to occur in women (between 30 and 50 years).
