trois couleurs: red redder REDonk

i’ve been cursed with red face.  a constant blushing that only goes away after my skin settles into a consistent temperature.  this disfiguring condition is best known as rosacea face.  the winter months are a trigger, as well as wine (how sucky), and also people who embarrass me, or really attractive men.  i see a dermatologist on the regular to keep my rosacea face under control.  her recommendation is to stick with products made for sensitive skin (CeraVe, of course) http://www.makemeprettymel.blogspot.com/2010/09/moisturizer-for-every-ageevery-skin.html; however, all on my own i discovered Eucerin Redness Relief Cleanser.  here’s what it does:

gently yet effectively cleanses as it soothes visibly red skin. soap-free gel removes make-up and impurities. gentle formula minimizes the risk of irritation. formulated with natural licochalcone (a licorice root extract with skin soothing properties). maintains skin's moisture balance-won't leave a dry, tight feeling.

·                         fragrance and soap-free

·                         non-comedogenic

·                         dermatologist recommended

·                         safe for sensitive skin, redness-prone skin, and rosacea

i use this every evening and rotate in the morning with my NIA 24 physical cleansing scrub http://www.makemeprettymel.blogspot.com/2010/09/lets-get-physical-cleansing-scrub.html - what a magical combination!  even if you don’t have chronic red face (luckeeeee) you should try this cleanser!
