Controlling rosacea

Not all sufferers of Rosacea deal with the extreme form of this skin malady which includes pimples, bumps, and scaling, but all of us want relief; some way to control this maddening affliction.

Rosacea has plagued me all my life. In fact, the nasty butterfly-patterned reddening of the facial skin is common to more than 13-million North Americans. I suffer from the milder form of Rosacea, which is a deep reddening, almost purpling, of the skin. I had tried all manner of ways to control my rosacea with no success, that is, until I met the Face Doctor.

Rosacea is exacerbated by a number of factors from chemicals in the air to harsh wind and strong sunlight, and internally by foods like coffee and hot spices. And stress. In fact, stress is one of the top accelerators of rosacea.

But to a rosacea sufferer, the reasons just don't matter. What matters is a way to control the outbreaks. And I found one. It's called, "Face Doctor." It's an expensive bar of soap that is available over the counter in most drugstores. The $25 bar of soap will last for nearly 6 months.

It was hard to go against years of training that said you shouldn't wash your face with soap, but I was willing to try anything. The Face Doctor box instructs you to work up a lather and then leave the lather on your face for a few minutes. This allows the soap's main ingredient, Seabuckthorn oil, to work its magic. And it does.

Within a few short weeks, my rosacea problem had been minimized to only slight red rashes, every so often, and only under extreme conditions. I have used the soap everyday for 3 years, with absolutely no side effects; except, of course, the side effect of seeing my rosacea problem lessen significantly.

The FaceDoctor soap is the winner of 6 Chinese and International invention, technological and medical awards. The soap is distributed in Canada by the Buy Wise Company in Sault St. Marie, Ontario. For further information, call toll-free 1-866-595-6497.
