What are some triggers of sensitive skin?
Seventy percent of Americans report having “sensitive skin”. A small percentage of sufferers have are genetically predisposed to having sensitive skin throughout their lives. The majority, however, acquire it from repeated exposure to environmental or lifestyle tripwires. Predisposition for sensitivity can make skin more vulnerable to the effects of stress, climate change, pollution, smoke, smog, sun exposure, friction or just plain old product overload. Even those whose skin is usually calm throughout the rest of the year frequently experience bouts of seasonal sensitivity during the dryer, harsher, winter months.
The SOOTHE Regimen helps to interrupt the inflammatory cascade, strengthens skin’s natural moisture barrier, calms redness and reduces irritation so that you can take comfort in having a healthy-looking, luminous complexion every day.
What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a common condition in which the blood vessels of the skin dilate and constrict very easily in response to a whole variety of stimuli, including spicy food, alcohol, embarrassment, heat, sunlight and menopause. Women are more than three times as likely as men to exhibit it, although the symptoms are often more pronounced and severe in men. This chronic skin condition is characterized by intense and frequent flushing or blotchy redness, the appearance of broken blood vessels on the cheeks, chin and nose and, in some cases, acne-like pimples. Although there are no over-the-counter medicines approved for treating rosacea, choosing skincare products that are formulated for hyper-irritable skin may help keep skin calm and less likely to react adversely.

Very good article. I find that there is a good % of people that just don’t know how to take care of their skin. Not to mentions some use products that do absolutely nothing. So keep up the good work and if I can be of help let me know. As i said I represent a prestige line of skin care as well and am still learning about proper skin care! dE
