Rosacea is a skin condition that affects both men and women and it's not to be ignored as it doesn't go away and get can get so much worse if left untreated.

This common chronic skin condition is usually found on the face and eyes. It can look like pimples, with redness and broken capillaries with people in middle age, from 30 to 60 years with fair skin, blue eyes, suffering most. The most significant environment trigger is the sun as skin is very sensitive to exposure. Always wear SPF 50 on the face and neck. It's even better to wear large sun glasses and a hat to shade the face altogether. Altered microbiome of the skin and gut health can really cause flare ups. Changes in the seasons and diet seem to affect people also.

Unfortunately there is no cure for rosacea, but you have to learn to manage it and reduce flare ups by recognising the signs and symptoms. In men especially, rosacea can cause thickening of the skin on the nose, making it appear bulbous. This can be reduced with correct treatment and home care. Fragile capillaries require regulating, soothing and protecting to get good results. Products can soothe, replenish and protect the skin.

Sothys has created the Clearness and Comfort line to help strengthen the circulatory system of fragile skin, reduce redness and increase protection against aggression with rosacea skin. Targeting skin with permanent redness and visible capillaries, the advanced formula features breakthrough polyphenol technology known for the ability to protect and soothe with powerful antioxidants benefits. Sothys selected polyphenols of hazel leaf and mint to alleviate symptoms associated with rosacea.

A soothing facial, it's a great way to get started on the road to repair.
