That blushing, flushed red flare that strikes the skin on your face, sometimes even with small, pus-filled bumps, is called rosacea.

The pesky inflammatory condition that can flare up for weeks through to months is hard to cover up and even harder to deal with.

However, just because it is a challenge to handle, doesn’t mean that it is impossible to treat and eventually get rid of.

One sure way to banish this blush and give your skin back its glow is to switch up your nutritional choices and focus on your diet, according to the experts at Skin Renewal.

For example, hot, spicy foods will almost always equal fiery flare-ups if you’re prone to rosacea.

Your taste buds may be able to tolerate and enjoy that extra spicey peri-peri chicken thigh, but that doesn’t mean your skin will react in the same way.

The same goes for chilli sauces, curries, anything dosed with cayenne pepper, and even ginger and cinnamon (warming spices), which may all cause a reaction.

Other no-nos include processed food, fried food, and artificial sweeteners.

It has been scientifically proven that these types of ingredients aggravate the symptoms of rosacea, so you might have to find the strength to resist.

Instead, clean eating is the way to go, which will actually do a whole lot more for you than simply clearing your skin.

As you increase your fruit and veggie intake and get more of the good stuff in, you’ll notice that your overall health will improve, too.

Here are some great options with regard to inflammation fighters.

Cruciferous veggies are a diverse group that includes broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, bok choy, arugula, Brussels sprouts, collards, watercress, and radishes – all incredibly calming for you and your skin:

To help soothe your skin even further, try antioxidant-rich fruits like berries, avocados, grapes, mangoes, and melon:

Plus, healthy, lean proteins from fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and tuna can be added to your meal plan.

For tea time, consider nuts like almonds and walnuts instead of sugary things, as well as green tea instead of coffee.

As well as being an antioxidant, green tea is loaded with catechin that can prevent inflammation by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production – science!

As part of your rosacea treatment plan, these foods should be incorporated into your daily life.

Apart from eating for healthier, happier skin, benefits can also come from investing in the proper skin supplementation.

Meriva has anti-inflammatory properties and is a powerful antioxidant to help renew the skin of rosacea sufferers.

Add Omega 3 fatty acids to the mix, which forms part of balanced and healthy nutrition for resilient skin, and you’ll be good to go, blush-free.
