About Rosacea

Did you know that rosacea is a common skin condition that affects over 16 million Americans, while only 10% of sufferers are being treated?  Rosacea is a vascular condition believed to be caused by inflammation with symptoms that include facial redness, pimples and eye irritation.  But the real damage often lies underneath the skin with a person’s self-esteem.  Because rosacea affects the face, people with this condition can often experience embarrassment and stress.

During the chat, we’ll be giving away four Summer Skincare Survival Prize Packs with lotions, sunscreen and cleansers. To win, participants must be the first to correctly answer trivia questions about rosacea and the PSA.  A total of four participants who are the first to answer trivia questions will be selected to win the prize packs.  Please see giveaway rules below.

Please RSVP here: bit.ly/Jjnyb7.

That is why is so admirable that one of my favorite actresses, Cynthia Nixon from Sex in the City, but who I have seen countless times on stage in Rabbit Hole, Distracted, The Heidi Chronicles and more, is starring in an online public service announcement in honor of Rosacea Awareness Month and is sharing her personal experience with Rosacea for the first time. The online public service announcement shines the spotlight on this little-known skin condition by discussing the symptoms and effects of the disorder (both emotionally and physically.  She is completely brave as she tells her story as a face of Rosacea, check it out:
