I am into natural skin care and the only thing I can think of that is in your HOME would be lemon juice.Lemon juice works great to naturally bleach out skin so it should reduce the apearrance of those spots Use juice on a cotton ball or Q-tip to rub into spots before bedtime with a clean washed face-no lotions-and let it stay on all night. Do your regular facial routine in the morning.  If irritation begins, discontinue.

Hydroquinone, it's in the over the counter creams like Porcelana, or Fade, etc.  You should wear a hat while you are outdoors that helps a lot.

I've heard Mederma works.  Also, put Vitamin E from a Vitamin E capsule directly on it every night for a year.  I've also heard that works if you use Neosporin on it every day.

I've heard put toothpaste on and leave it overnight, lemon juice is supposed to take out the redness. And coverup of course. Good Luck.

Vinegar will help take the sting out of a sunburn or you can use coffee grounds. For modern days now use Alvera lotion

I am about to start Chantix on Sunday.  My doctor told me about all the possible side effects, and did not mention rosacea.  It could be just a brief reaction to the drug, or maybe the mental stress of quitting smoking.  Keep up with it though, rosacea is a lot better than lung cancer.  Good luck and wish me luck too!

Depends on what's causing it.  You might try topical and oral evening primrose oil.  EPO is rich in the essential fatty acids that your skin needs for proper health.  And, obviously, avoid things that further irritate your skin.  \n\nYou might also check into an anti-inflammatory diet.

Hi mbmare5!  I hope I can help you a little.  I too, was diagnosed with Rosacea.  I'm 42 years old & have been a bit of a sun worshipper all of my life.  Like you, I have always found that getting sun improves my condition although the doctors may just try to attribute that to the fact that having a tan may makes your whole face look a bit redder.  (I don't know if I buy that one).  I haven't gotten the acne-like symptoms, that must be upsetting to you.  \n\nThere are two things that you haven't mentioned. The first is spicy foods, the second is the prescription Metrogel (which I believe comes in a creme as well).  Many doctors say that spicy foods cause Rosacea outbreaks & this seems to make some sense to me.  If you are like me & love spicy foods, try cutting them out to see if your condition improves.  Also, I have been using Metrogel.  In the beginning I was constantly forgetting to use it daily, so it never helped at all.  When I got myself on a regular regimen, twice a day, it made a noticeable difference.  Please try this if you have not, but remember that this is not a cure, so if you stop using it, your condition will usually go back to the way it was before you ever started using it.\n\nYou've probably heard all of this before, but if not, I hope it helps a bit.  Remember, since Metrogel can't do any HARM anyway, don't quit until you've used at least one full-size tube. I'm still out in the sun & at this point I think I'm the only one who even knows I have it!\n\nPlease feel free to contact me if you'd like.  mrdoolin1

Olive oil is a cheap and wonderful way to pamper your skin. Try it at night, and do a facial massage while you are at it.\n\nAlso really delightful: get some rose petals, lavendar buds, rosemary and chamomile -- about a tablespoon each (you can use herbal teas, if necessary).  Put in bowl with about a pint of boiling water, then hold your face over it. Cover your head and bowl with a towel, and stay for 10 minutes, breathing deeply.  You can lift the towel if it gets too hot to let in some fresh air.  It's wonderful!\n\nAnother thing you can do is go to a department store and get the whole treatment.  It's important to try a few kinds of makeup before you decide which brand you like best, so don't feel guilty.\n\n(-: And smile!  That's the best thing for your skin and your health!
