Rosacea:how to treat it effectively?

Rosacea is manifested by thick and persistent redness on the face. It mostly affects fair-skinned people. This dermatological disease has a vascular origin:the vessels of the face undergo hyperactivity and consequently the blood stagnates. However, it turns out that the causes of this anomaly are not yet scientifically explained. Other than that, some people are predisposed to getting rosacea.

It is especially individuals of the Nordic type, that is to say having light skin, eyes and hair, who are predisposed to the disease. They are more sensitive to UV rays, and react less well to low temperatures. In addition, the presence of certain bacteria on the face, such as Demodex Folliculorum, can also cause rosacea.
