Rosacea-Ltd IV Ingredients

The ingredients of Rosacea-Ltd IV disks are compressed into a very concentrated "smooth solid form" for easy application to the facial rosacea skin areas. Rosacea-Ltd IV will normally last 12 months. Rosacea-Ltd IV contains no irritating fragrances, which demonstrates the most favorable skin acceptance of any rosacea skin care product. The Rosacea-Ltd IV ingredients consist of: zinc oxide, magnesium stearate, sodium chloride, iron oxide, copper oxide, polyethylene glycol, and sulfur (which is a required ingredient of your skeletal system and body fluids). Sulfur is not to be confused with the oral antibiotic sulfa pills used to treat body bacterial infections. The oral antibiotic pill treatments actually cause more rosacea red symptoms along with bacteria building a resistance to oral and topical antibiotics.

It is often the cumulative effect of the treatments you've been using to treat your rosacea that may actually be the aggravating source or factor of your current rosacea treatment. Improving the skin involves a complete change in your thought processes and your approach to treating and controlling your rosacea.

Rosacea is described as inflammation of the skin. Rosacea causes redness (erythema) and symptoms of vasculation of spidery blood vessels (telangiectasia), swelling (hyperplasia), rosacea papules (red solid elevated inflammatory skin lesion without pus) and acne pimples. The acne pimples occur in 82% of rosacea patients, which may be referred to as "acne rosacea". Seborrheic dermatitis (scaly red irritated sensitive lesion) occurs in 35% of rosacea patients. The combination of rosacea, acne, and seborrheic dermatitis symptoms is quite aggravating as seen by years of past efforts as the treatment of one condition aggravates the other two medical conditions. Rosacea left untreated will often progress in severity. Ocular rosacea is a most frustrating eye condition consisting of blepharitis, dry burning, itching eyelids and flaky skin on the eyelids while some patients may also have conjunctivitis. Rosacea if properly treated, does not have to become progressively worse.

Staying Healthy and Rosacea Free

Trying to stay healthy and rosacea free can be a challenge. Rosacea sufferers often flush during exercise. Exercise flushing is caused by the cardiovascular system pumping harder and faster due to exercise with the resulting 'lactic acid being given off from the muscles' and facial vascular dilation or a "rosacea red face". The goal of exercise when you have rosacea is to minimize vascular dilation while exercising.

Exercise should be enjoyed and performed moderately in a cool area keeping the body well hydrated with "alkaline water" to avoid or minimize "rosacea redness". It's best to adapt slowly over time to the exercise so that the body is aerobic (with oxygen) instead of anaerobic (without oxygen causing redness - you remember when you tried holding your breath for just 30 seconds with the result of your facial skin immediately turning pink or red). Therefore, you can handle more vigorous exercise as your exercise training increases. Better cardiovascular shape and exercise means more oxygen in the blood and more oxygen in blood constrict vessels. There are a myriad of benefits of water during exercise. Water is absolutely necessary for strong, flexible plasma membranes of all cells.

Exercise in moderation but do not over do it. Too much exercise can cause a lactic acid accumulation in the muscles. You know you're operating over your anaerobic threshold when you begin to tire, sweat, and feel fatigued. Your heart rate will be between 80% and 90% of its maximum. The best rosacea exercise to avoid turning red is to stay "aerobic" with oxygen.

One of the key reasons for endurance training is to enable the body to perform at a greater pace. Long steady runs, which will develop the aerobic capacity by means which improves the transportation of more oxygen to the muscles and by creating greater efficiency in the heart and lungs. If the aerobic (with oxygen) capacity is greater, it means there will be more oxygen available to the working muscles and this should delay or totally avoid the onset of lactic acid at a given work intensity.

Body stress and fatigue has much to do with rosacea redness and rosacea papules. Don't work out 'heavily' when you are already stressed; just take a positive walk for 15 minutes, or enjoy an exercise that is positive and mentally uplifting that can be considered an easy exercise to get the mental wrinkles out. Also, "water again" in washing the face well before the exercise program will keep the face cooler and keeps the film of oil, etc. from blocking the pores in preventing acne pimples. You may have watched many working out in various health spas alternate between working with weights, a cooling shower, a swim in the pool and back to the weights, back in the shower, back in the pool, etc.

Swimming is an excellent choice of exercise for rosacea sufferers. Ideally one should swim in a properly treated indoor chlorinated pool (bromide treated pools are too harsh on the skin). Chlorine kills fungi, bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can worsen rosacea as well as acne and seborrheic dermatitis. The swimming pool water is usually 75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit, which is well below normal body temperature of 98.6 degrees. Thus, it cools the entire body, including the rosacea-affected areas, while providing excellent exercise to reduce mental stress and physical tension.
