how to minimize red skin.

{seeing red}

beauties i recently fell prey to a stomach bug, from which i'm still recovering.  i will spare you the details, but it has left me with no desire to indulge in my favorite past-time, red wine.  which is why i felt at least somewhat vindicated when dr. rosemarie ingleton shared skipping the red as one of her tips to fight redness/rosacea.  here is full list of her tips:

• avoid foods that cause flush (caffeine, red wine, hot sauce)
• apply SPF 30 or greater daily
• cover up in extreme weather (scarfs in wind)
• avoid prolonged heat exposure (saunas, sunbathing, bikram)
• select non-irritating skin products (avoid witch hazel)

dr. ingleton is the dermatologist with eucerin, one of my favorite brands for sensitive skin concerns.  the eucerin redness relief line is specifically designed for rosacea and redness.  the night cream is the perfect overnight cure for blotchy skin.  available nationwide.
