What I've Learned About Rosacea : A healthy Body Equals Healthy Skin

Practice "whole body" health. Don't compromise the health of the rest of your body to save aggravation to your face. Most of the things that keep the rest of your body healthy, can help your face(or least do it no harm). Stay hydrated...drink plenty of water.Try to get seven or eight hours of sleep each day. Flushes seem to occur more frequently and last longer, when you aren't getting enough rest. You might be able to stop a flush with a nap. Get out and get some exercise, even if it means going for a walk before dawn, when it's cool. Watch what you eat...not just the stuff that you know causes you to flush. I've seen several great articles discussed on the R.S. forum. At minimum, try to avoid refined sugars (besides the usual stuff on the triggers lists). It may help to stay away from soda beverages...too much sugar in regular, and many rosaceans have a problem with Nutrasweet in diet sodas.
