Re: exercise, - types of flushing

February 28, 2002

hi all and naoimi,

I can understand your dilema as i too am in the same

boat. Although we are recommended to exercise

moderately i have ignored this as i like working out.

I have rosacea about 6 years now. Last year i joined

the gym to exercise, tone up and lose some weight.The

long term idea was i suppose to get fit and healthier

thereby working from the inside out and helping my

skin!! I found that after initial workouts i flushed

less as my body got fit and used to the workout. I

began to look much better and my rosacea did improve.

I take cool down breaks in the gym and drink loads of

water. I find this helps my body, physical and

emotional well bein. So if you too think it helps

enjoy it.

ALL THE BEST,

hi again,

I think exercise in helping your overall body will

help with your skin. The key is to take breathers

during exercise along with drinking lots of water.

Personally i found that exercise itself made it no

better or worse. I mean i worked for 8 months and no

major difference. I stopped for 6 months and the same.

So i don't think it makes a big difference plus the

benefits to body and mind are wonderful.

Hope this helps but all cases are different.

Cheers,

Bob

Hi Bob and group,

Getting the exercise sounds like a good idea. Something else which

helps cool down is to wrap a frozen Ace reusable cold gel compress

(Walmart, $3) in a small towel, and apply it to the face, neck etc

from time to time. They last forever. I have a couple which I have

been using for two years now. The interior gel does not freeze the

face, but rather draws out heat from dilating vessels. It can also be

wrapped in paper towel and used at home. I highly recommend Ace cold

gel compresses for anyone who suffers from hot flushing. They really

can help during flareups.
