Our face is the first thing that people notice, so if we have damaged skin with rough spots, wrinkles and redness, we simply might prefer to hide. In a way our face is our calling card, so keeping it in tip top shape is important to just about everyone.

These days, we start skin care when we’re really young. Our moms have been educated to be super wary of the sun’s harmful rays, so they buy us funny hats with big floppy brims, and keep us under a shady tree most of the time.

With dangers all around us, we try to responsibly care for our body’s biggest organ, our skin. Most of us do alright, but when trouble rears its ugly head in the form of pimple outbreaks, irritation, rough patches and flaming red skin, we need serious help.

Before getting too upset, there are some things you can do to relieve your symptoms. For some folks, certain foods such as sour cream, cheese, yogurt, liver, chocolate, spinach, beans and soy sauce, aggravate rosacea flare ups. If you suspect one of these, try not eating it for a few days and see if your condition improves. Often an antihistamine taken a couple of hours before you eat will do the trick.

Don’t go out during the hottest time of the day and try jogging in the evening or early in the morning. In very hot climates it makes a lot of sense to work out in air conditioned spaces, with a cold drink nearby.

Treat your face gently, don’t use abrasive cleansers, and let your skin air dry rather than scrubbing it with a rough towel after your bath or shower. A quality electric shaver is better than using a blade, and stay away from those tingly after shave lotions.
