Treating Rosacea at the Source!



What we see on our skin is a direct reflection of what is going on inside our bodies. For example, hydrated bodies promote healthy, hydrated skin. Similarly, when your liver is struggling or being overworked, you can see dark spots show up on your face – you get the idea! So, what is going on inside when we start seeing red, splotchy patterns show up on our face or body? This redness is called Rosacea and it is caused by damage or strain on the digestive tract. We have both the internal and topical solutions you need to encourage digestive healing and in turn, be able to flaunt beautiful, radiant skin!

Inner Harmony: This Harmonized Water is formulated to rebalance overall skin and body wellness. It aids in the process of detoxing irritation of the skin caused by digestive disharmonies, targeting Rosacea at the source! Take 5 pumps of water morning and night, and watch as the frequencies in the Water balance and encourage proper gut function!


Calm: Treating Rosacea topically calls for a reliable vitamin A serum to partner with the skin in the restoration process. Calm vitamin A serum does exactly that – calms the inflammation on the skin! In doing so, it also restores the protective barrier, normalizes oil levels, and increases nutrients and immune repair that have been compromised by the digestive system.

Rescue: Send some backup! Rescue serves as the reinforcement agent to accelerate the healing process for maximized results! This special Serum, formulated with revolutionary, patented technology and medicinal herbs, will neutralize toxins being purged through the skin and improve that red bumpy texture for a smooth, rejuvenated appearance!



Clear Plus+: Finally, top it all off with an Activating Mist! We recommend Clear Plus+, as it helps to hydrate, soothe, and nourish, all while driving the products deep into the skin to ensure optimal penetration and effectiveness!





Tackle Rosacea with a protocol that works! All of these magical Osmosis products, paired with a healthy diet, make for brilliant, beaming skin that you can feel great about! Be kind to your gut, your skin will thank you!

Testimonial Tuesday :: Rosacea


Rosacea is most well-known for redness; however, many rosacea sufferers are also afflicted with acne-like pustules as well.   This client suffered from Rosacea for most of her adult life.  Years ago, her physician told her that she would need steroid therapy to control her skin, which she refused. 

October 17th, 2012

Client came to clinic in a distressed state with significantly inflamed skin with multiple papules and pustules insitu.   Patient began treatment with Calm, DigestiveHealth Harmonized Water, and Restore Topical and Internal.  Within a week, her skin showed immediate progress.
 

January 24th, 2013

After 3 months, client states for the first time in her life, she has had a period of months with only one breakout.  Prior to treatment with Osmosis products, she always had multiple papules and pustules, especially on her forehead.

Dr Johnson's Corner :: Understanding Rosacea

Dr Ben Johnson, MD

Rosacea is triggered by digestive disturbances (reflux, IBS, Candida excess, etc). You and your clients should know that rosacea worsens over time because the foods/beverages we ingest are usually inflammatory. This means that if we are not addressing the source of the problem, the skin will be harder to control every year. Dietary changes are a great start, but Digestive Health Harmonized H20, Anti-PathogenHarmonized H20 and/or Restore Internal are extremely beneficial for the internal conditions associated with rosacea. Topically we recommend Restore for the most severe cases but all cases need to add Calm into their routine at some point because it restores lost collagen and repairs scarring while calming the skin. The inside-out approach is critical for success with rosacea, and we want to ensure that you and your clients achieve the results they deserve!

The Scoop On Rosacea and Relief


by Corporate Educator, Jamie Palmer
April is National Rosacea Awareness Month so I thought I would take this opportunity to explore this very common skin condition with our readers. According to the National Rosacea Society, rosacea.org, over 16 million Americans suffer from rosacea, many without even knowing they have it.  It is most common in people age 30-50 and individuals with fair skin.  Those who tend to flush or blush easily are believed to be at greatest risk. Even though this disorder is more frequently diagnosed in women it can be more severe in men. The most common signs of rosacea include: flushing, persistent redness, bumps, pimples, and visible capillaries. Other less prevalent signs range anywhere from burning or stinging, dry skin, plaques, skin thickening, swelling, and eye irritation.


There are 4 types of rosacea (AAD):


 

erythematotelangiectatic rosacea which is flushing, persistent redness, and visible capillaries
 
papulopustular rosacea which has persistent facial redness with bumps or acne-like breakouts

 
phymatous rosacea described as skin thickening and enlargement bumpy texture

 

ocular rosacea affecting with symptoms of watering, bloodshot appearance, irritation, itching, gritty feeling, burning or stinging

 

 
While some people only experience flushing, rosacea can result in permanent changes in appearance for example, a bulbous nose called Rhinophyma. Symptoms can have such an effect on self esteem that 41 percent of rosacea sufferers reported it had caused them to avoid public contact or cancel social engagements (National Rosacea Society).

Common treatments include antibiotics, azelaic acid, isotretinoin, lasers, dermabrasion, and in severe cases electrocautery and surgery. Osmosis has had great results in treating rosacea with a more holistic approach instead of just treating the symptom on the surface. We calm inflammation both internally and in the skin.  When we increase the skin's ability to heal using ingredients that partner with the skin instead of having potentially harmful side effects, we see redness disappear, capillaries become less visible, thickening of a thinned dermis, and all over improvement in skin tone.

Doctors are still trying to determine the etiology of rosacea but according to the American Academy of Dermatology, there are some determining factors.  These include: genetics, since rosacea tends to run in families; an over active immune system; H pylori, since it is commonly found in rosacea sufferers but not all individuals with H pylori have rosacea; the demodex mite which lives on everyone's skin but is found in larger quantities in rosacea, and a protein called cathelicidin which normally protects the skin from infection but causes the inflammation seen in rosacea.

Though the medical community does not yet know the direct cause of rosacea they are starting to recognize intestinal influences.
 
Dr. Johnson has always held the belief that our digestive issues are a direct link to rosacea. We have seen amazing results in our rosacea sufferers just by taking Digestive Health Harmonized Water that is designed to help balance intestinal issues and calm inflammation along the digestive tract. The powerful anti-inflammatory property of Restore has also provided dramatic relief to rosacea sufferers both internally and topically. Though you can't diagnose rosacea in your clients, being able to recognize the signs and symptoms to provide them with products that can help to alleviate their discomfort will help to change their lives.
 
We recommend Digestive Health Harmonized Water and Restore Topical to anyone you suspect of having rosacea. This dynamic duo will calm their irritated skin from both the inside and out and start them on the path to recovery. (Please remember that Restore Topical is very drying to the skin so they will need an effective and healthy moisturizer like our award-winning Quench!) Once the inflammation starts to dissipate, slowly bring in Calm to start rebuilding the health of the skin while still effectively treating rosacea. As well as getting them on a home care regimen, start their recovery process with an anti-inflammatory facial specifically designed for the worst rosacea sufferers.
 
For more information, please visit our Professional Resource Center (login required).  In addition to many other resources, you will also find a new facial protocol designed to calm inflammation and start the healing process without overly stimulating the skin.
