Just introducing myself and looking for feedback...

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

I have spent the past week reading through these messages trying to

learn as much as I can. I have been just diagnosed with mild rosacea

although I have suspected for awhile that I have it. The funny thing

is that I have been complimented my whole life on my skin (like some

of you!) but my " peaches and cream " skin unfortunately set me up for

this. I have always been a big time flusher.

Anyway, I was wondering if I could get some feedback on my routine.

I have always just used water to clean my face and never had an acne

problem outside of the usual teenage years. I now wash my face each

morning with Cetaphil and put on Cetaphil moisturizer SPF 15. Then,

at night I wash again and apply Noritate. My derm. told me only to

use it once a day. This week, my skin has been disgusting. I have

broken out badly (on my cheeks) but am trying to remain calm because

I know this does happen when you start a new product. (right??)

To give you an idea of my face, I do have some slight broken

capillaries on my cheeks and of course the reddish cheeks. When my

face flushes really bad, I break out on top of my cheeks. My derm.

said she saw rosacea on my chin area too which I was never concerned

with before. Guess I now should be.

I am looking for the flushing induced breakouts to end. Will the

Noritate do this? Cause my skin has never looked so bad as it does

now after my first week on Noritate. UGH

If you have made it this far---thank you! I appreciate any comments

and/ or feedback.
