Rosacea is a hereditary, chronic skin disorder which most often affects the face. Groups of tiny blood vessels under the skin of the face dilate, causing flushing (general facial redness), spidery veins, and/or blotchy red areas with small papules (inflammatory bumps).

• Rosacea can also cause inflammation, redness, and irritation of the eyes.
• Topical steroids (e.g., DesOwen, Westcort) at first calm rosacea symptoms but over time may destroy the skin and cause severe disfigurement: "a flaming red, scaling, papule-covered face".
• Rosacea can be aggravated by sunlight, stress, allergies, alcohol, spicy foods and extremes in temperatures.
• Alcohol dehydrates the body and provokes rosacea-related facial flushing (redness).
• Cigarette smoking aggravates rosacea and acne.
• Lifestyle changes and healthy habits can greatly reduce the redness, papules, and other symptoms of rosacea.
• Pregnant women must be extremely cautious about any use of medication.
• Jojoba Oil is very useful for healing rosacea-affected skin from previous aggressive treatments.
