While there is no cure for rosacea, there are steps in addition to changes in diet that you can take to minimize aggravation.
1. Make sure to keep your skin very clean. Do not wash with plain water. Use a gentle but thorough cleanser, ideally a cleanser formulated with antioxidants which act as natural anti-inflammatories, such as alpha lipoic acid, vitamin C ester, olive oil antioxidants, etc. – morning and evening – to remove bacteria.
2. Incorporate nutritional supplements including a minimum of 100 milligrams a day of alpha lipoic acid and 60 milligrams a day of coenzyme Q-10 into your diet. Taken orally, these supplements can help reduce inflammation in rosacea sufferers.
3. Add treatments that include the ingredient alpha lipoic acid (ALA). Topical ALA can decrease the redness associated with rosacea, which is not lessened when treated by prescription medications such as Metronidazole.

I am 32 and would like to think that I eat pretty healthfully and take good care of my skin. I have traces of Rosacea on my cheeks and nose and have visibly had them since I was a teenager. I have noticed, however that it is becoming more pronounced and noticeable without makeup. I’m curious as to what I could do to reverse the visible signs and prevent it from becoming more pronounced.
