Flush Your Blush

That rosy glow about your face may make it look as if you have a constant flush, but for the 14 million people who have rosacea, it can be potentially life-disruptive. More than 76 percent of rosacea sufferers say the condition — signaled by redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead; small visible blood vessels on the face; bumps or pimples or watery and irritated eyes — lowered their self-confidence and 52 percent avoided public interaction or canceled social plans, according to the National Rosacea Society. Unfortunately, rosacea has no known cause or cure. But these nonprescription beauty products can help alleviate the signs of rosacea and make sufferers feel more comfortable in their daily lives.
