Treating Rosacea: Holiday Beauty Tips

Dilated capillaries are becoming more of a problem every day. As an esthetician I have been seeing what seems to be a growing number of people with extensive redness on their cheeks, nose and surrounding area and the chin. As soon as I spot it I know that my client has dilated capillaries which often come with rosacea.

What is rosacea and why do I have dilated capillaries?


This question I often hear from my customers. Rosacea is a common skin disorder. The medical term for the condition is Telangiectasia Rosacea. This condition generally affects the face (prime sites are around the mouth and nose). If you think you have rosacea, look for small-threadlike veins (dilated capillaries) close to surface of the skin, which when clustered together look like a red bruise. However, unlike normal bruises, the bruises presented by dilated capillaries don’t fade.

What caused rosacea and dilated capillaries?

Dilated capillaries are caused by climate, stimulants, inappropriate beauty products, red wine, spicy food, over exposure to the sun, extreme cold weather and wind, skin injury, washing face with hot water, smoking and good old genetics. There are the number of ways dilated capillaries can be treated. During the Holiday season and cold weather people who have this problem have to be more careful and follow esthetician advice:

1. Cut back spicy food, red wine or alcohol
2. If weather is cold and windy apply extra moisturizer with SPF
3. Use appropriate skin care products, even when you travel throughout the holiday season

Tips from our esthetician: Rosacea sufferers, I highly recommend you use Dr Irina Eris skin care products. They are specially formulated to treat rosacea and dilated capillaries. Start by washing your face with Pharmaceris Cleansing Gel for dilated capillaries (do not forget to use room temperature water).Gently remove cleanser, pat your face dry and apply Pharmaceris Gentle Strengthening Toner. The next step is very important! Apply K-Derm Vitamin K 2% on the affected areas (wonderful product, very rare to find). Finish with Pharmaceris Eye Cream for dilated capillaries and Pharmaceris Intensive Nourishment Cream. If your skin is oily use Pharmaceris Multi-Smoothening Cream for oily skin SPF 15, or for dry skin use Pharmaceris Moisturizing and Strengthening Cream SPF 15. NOTE: You should regularly avoid intensive scrubbing of your face and do not use hot or cold water, only room temperature water.

Tips from our stylist: (For an oily scalp) Shampooing more frequently may be doing more good! An oily scalp may make dandruff worse, because the microorganisms often present on the scalp thrive on the natural oils found. For a dry scalp using all 3 products is important in controlling dandruff and keeping your scalp clean. Also, frequently washed hair always looks healthy. Blow drying is always a good trick for those with dandruff. Towel-dry hair and let it air dry until just damp before picking up the blow-dryer. You can use a blow dryer with a diffuser nozzle for the gentlest drying and avoid applying heat directly to the scalp.

Tips from our esthetician: Using appropriate cleansers is a very important step after you finish using anti-dandruff products. This time we recommended Germaine de Capuccini, the finest line from Spain. The Pure T Skin Line is an excellent choice for oily skin. Clean your face with Pure T Skin Purifying Cleansing Foam, follow with Option Line Oily Skin lotion and finish with Pure T Skin Balancing gel. Don’t forget to use Pure T Skin T Mat express under makeup to avoid shine. For normal/dry skin: Start by washing your face with Option Line Comfort Cleansing Milk, follow with Option Line Total Comfort Lotion and finish with Strategist Day Cream (my favorite).

Tips from our Stylist: Give yourself a solon style blow dry and straight, shiny style. Begin at the nape. Place a 7 or 9 brush (CHI’s row brush is a good choice) under a fine section and blow dry, using tension on the hair for a polished finish. When hair is dry, return to the nape and spray section by section with Sleek.Look Iron Smoother and then a flat iron. Continue working until the entire head is ironed. To finish the style, emulsify a few drops of Sleek.Look Sealing Serum and lightly apply to the hair to smooth the cuticle and add glossy shine.

Tips from our Esthetician: After washing hair, using moisturizing or hydrating shampoo and conditioner, use the appropriate cleanser (if your skin normal/oily, oily or acne prone, hair products can add more moisture to already oily skin and break out skin on forehead and around hair line).For best results use Dermalogica PreCleanse first and follow with Dermal Day Cleanser for oily skin.
