by Kaitlyn Dreyling

Had a bad breakout of bumps on your cheeks and chin that just won't go away? Experiencing a lot of redness? What you're dealing with may be a very common skin ailment, type 2 rosacea — not acne — and your course of treatment could be exacerbating the problem. Rosacea is commonly mistaken for acne because the bumps look so similar, but some treatments that help reduce acne flare-ups can actually make rosacea much worse. Be sure to see a dermatologist for either acne or rosacea, but here are quick tips to help you spot the signs of rosacea.

by Jaime Richards

When I heard about Swell Skin's two-step skin care regimen, which includes a bar soap and an oil, I knew I had to try it. First, how easy is that? Second, products are made using wonder ingredient sea buckthorn oil, rich in antioxidant vitamins C and E, emollients, and essential fatty acids.

The brand's Face Treatment ($32), used in step one, is a very mild soap in bar form. It has just the perfect amount of sudsing action with a faint, fresh nonsynthetic aroma. Skin feels clean and refreshed after use, with no painful stinging sensations or can't-move-my-face tightness. See more when you keep reading.

Take the Redness Out With an Anti-Rosacea Gel

When the complexion problems get tough, the tough go to the dermatologist.

by POPSUGAR Beauty

When the complexion problems get tough, the tough go to the dermatologist. After some stubborn acne started to worsen, I headed to my dermatologist (check his acne-fighting tips here) for a visit.

He prescribed Finacea, a water-based gel with azaleic acid. It's generally used to treat rosacea, but my dermatologist said it would not only reduce redness, but also treat the acne. It's expensive, about $115, but insurance can help soften the financial blow. (Or, ahem, there are always Canadian pharmacies.) In my case, it's money well spent. I am so into this gel, it's not even funny.

From the first time I applied it, I saw amazing and quick results. The redness around my nose faded overnight, and within a few days, I found that my blackheads were coming to the surface. (All the easier to eliminate with my extractor.) Two weeks into my love affair with Finacea, I've had significantly fewer clogged pores, and most of my redness is gone. Side effects are minimal; sometimes it makes my skin itchy, but usually I don't have any problems. Obviously, you should talk with a dermatologist before looking into any prescription, but Finacea is such good stuff that I just had to let you know about it.

For the millions of people who suffer from the redness, facial flushing, and even acne-like symptoms of rosacea, it's easy to feel like there is little or nothing you can do to treat your condition. While not curable, there are many ways you can manage your rosacea so that it doesn't interfere with your life. It is important to note that while some severe forms of rosacea can look like acne, traditional acne treatments will only aggravate your condition.

Definition: Rosacea

For those of you that suffer from skin disorders or skin discoloration, you understand how upsetting these problems can be.

by POPSUGAR Beauty

For those of you that suffer from skin disorders or skin discoloration, you understand how upsetting these problems can be. One very common skin disease that effects nearly 16 million Americans and 65 million people worldwide is called rosacea. Fair-skinned adults and especially women are specifically prone to this facial disease.

Rosacea is redness that is usually found on the nose, forehead, cheeks, and chin. Often, it starts as subtle irritations in the center of the face and can develop into severe inflammation, which may become tender. The redness is caused when blood vessels close to the skin's surface dilate, and the skin reacts by forming elevated blotches called papules.

Rosacea can be treated — though not cured — with either topical or oral antibiotics. Sunscreen should be worn at all times to reduce irritation, and doctors may also recommend specific soaps, moisturizers, and other products to help quiet your skin. To counteract the redness of rosacea, you can try to use a yellow- or green-based concealer.
