Guest guest Posted January 14, 2000 Report Share Posted January 14, 2000 Lyndia - I find that wine coolers do not make me red. Red wine really is the worst alcohol for rosacea. If you like kelp, try the Zia Fresh Cleansing Gel. The cheapest place I have seen it is www.thevitaminshoppe.com. It is my very favorite cleanser.

Aloe Vera gel ( some people get irritated from Aloe gel but I can tolerate it.) I also have read that Kelp supplies balanced minerals needed for good skin tone. I will check on that today.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2000 Report Share Posted January 14, 2000 New member here! I agree with trying a natural approach towards my rosacea. I have been having acupuncture for the last six months and this has been tremendous in controlling my flare ups. I tried acupuncture as I needed to give up the antibiotic (oxytetracycline) I was on as I wish to get pregnant. I have gone from taking 4 tablets a day to 1 a week and hope to be off permanently in the next couple of weeks. At the moment I'm having treatment once every three weeks, although this may increase when I'm off oxy completely. On another point I get the impression most people are in America on this group and you all seem to be a lot more clued up than us in Britain. I've found it very difficult to get any information here - my GP treats me halfheartedly and has never referred me to a dermatologist. Thank god for the Internet!

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2000 Report Share Posted January 15, 2000 M Here they are: deionized water, cocaamidopropyl betaine, Lauereth-2 sytrene, acrylamid copolymer (and) ammonium nonoxynol-4 sulfate, allantoin urea, carbomer, triethanolamine, phenoxyethanol (and) methyparaben (and) ethylparaben (and) propylparaben (and) butylparaben, lavender (and) pettigrain oils. Wow, it certainly doesn't sound all-natural, but I've been using it for a couple years or so and really like the stuff.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2000 Report Share Posted January 18, 2000 Sorry for the delay this is my works email and all my info is at home. Here is the information on Jane Iredale cosmetics. As yet I haven't tried them but do intend to do so. If anyone out there has used them for rosacea I would be grateful to know what you think. There is a web page for Jane Iredale products which is http://www.skinfirm.com/iredale I have also copied an article in the Daily Telegraph features page which may be of some interest. Chris ISSUE 1670 Tuesday 21 December 1999 Make-up that knocks the spots off acne Pure pigments cover up skin troubles that conventional cosmetics simply aggravate. Alice explains WOMEN with acne know only too well the difficulties of concealing the condition. " I have terrible problems, " says , 28, a marketing executive. " Make-up usually aggravates my skin and if a foundation does conceal the spots, it looks as though I have applied it with a trowel. " A pure mineral make-up recently launched in Britain could be the answer; it is already being welcomed by dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons because it conceals disfiguring skin problems without causing irritation. Iredale Mineral Cosmetics contain only minerals and none of the chemicals, dyes or fillers that are common in most conventional make-up ranges. The pure pigment blends include minerals such as titanium dioxide for sunblock, zinc oxide for sun protection and opacity, bismuth oxy-chloride - which helps the make-up glide over the surface - and iron oxide, ultra-marine and carmine for colour. Jane Iredale used to work as a casting director and producer in California, but decided to create her own range of make-up in 1994. " I have always been interested in natural products, " she explains. " Having worked with lots of make-up artists and top models, I knew their requirements. I devised a range of long-lasting, light cosmetics to be sold in salons and used on film sets and catwalks. " Within months of launching her range, Jane discovered that doctors were using her products in less glamorous locations: in their surgeries, to help sufferers of such conditions as rosacea and acne. " Some of the products - our camouflage oil-free cream Covercare [£19], Amazing Base [pressed £39; loose £35] and Circle Delete [£23] - were proving ideal for covering up blemishes, " she says. " Because there are no chemicals, perfumes or alcohol, the skin is not irritated and ingredients such as titanium and zinc oxide help calm lumpy problems. " The ingredients are micro-pulverised into flat crystals that overlap instead of sticking together - because the crystals are so much smaller than in conventional make-up, they don't clog the pores. The overlapping of particles produces a sun protection factor of 17-20 and acts as a physical rather than a chemical block; not only is it immediately active, but also, uniquely, the more make-up you apply, the higher the protection factor. As the only pure mineral make-up available in this country, the range is recommended by top British skin specialists. Dr Nick Lowe, consultant dermatologist at the Cranley Clinic in London, first used the products in his California practice. " Iredale has a long and good track record in the States, " he says. He suggests using Covercare on birth marks and on the discoloration that follows laser treatment; patients often require camouflage while the skin calms down. " It is also invaluable for such conditions as vitiligo, rosacea and spider veins on the face. I use it after skin cancer surgery. We cover the affected part with a bit of tape and then apply the make-up to the whole area. " Barry , a plastic surgeon who practises in Wimpole Street, London, also recommends the range. " It is good for bruising after plastic surgery. Because it isn't thick, it doesn't look as though you are wearing much, so patients feel much less self-conscious. " had been very unhappy with her " lumpy skin " and was keen to try out the range. " I'm always getting outbreaks of spots and Iredale really does help hide them. The most important thing for me is that I feel much more confident. " Ring 0 for stockists, mail order and brochure. All catalogues give information about ingredients and application instructions for specific conditions and general use. > Re: products I use > > > > Anyone have any foundations that work well for them I have been using > the > > sher system and although I will still use the cleansing and moisturizing > > > products I am looking for different make up to save some $$$$$$ Thanks > > Noreen > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Please read the list highlights thoroughly before posting to the whole > > group. > > see http://www.ozemail.com.au/~pascoedj/rosacea/toc.html > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > -- Create a poll/survey for your group! > > -- /vote?listname=rosacea-support & m=1 > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Please read the list highlights thoroughly before posting to the whole > group. > see http://www.ozemail.com.au/~pascoedj/rosacea/toc.html > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > -- Create a poll/survey for your group! > -- /vote?listname=rosacea-support & m=1 > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Please read the list highlights thoroughly before posting to the whole > group. > see http://www.ozemail.com.au/~pascoedj/rosacea/toc.html > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > eGroups.com Home: /group/rosacea-support/ > - Simplifying group communications > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
