How do I keep my rosacea under control?

Question

I just recently looked up the symptoms of rosacea and I have practically all of them. All this time I thought it was acne but now I am starting to wonder if it is rosacea. I am going to try taking care of my skin differently now that I know that it is probably rosacea. How do I take care of it?

I have heard that aloe vera gel is very good for rosacea too, could you please tell me more about that?

I also suffer from rosacea, and have for some time now.I have tried everything from aloe vera to zen med.The only thing yhat seems to work for me is eating properly,(Limit spicy foods, alcohol, and hot beverages.) And I use a product called Rosacalm which gets rid of the redness.
You can buy it at helpforrosacea.com. I did a little research and found it to be the best solution for taming rosacea without getting surgery or prescription drugs.
Good Luck

Treatment options such as oral antibiotics and topical creams are commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation and redness. Topical cortisone preparations for short-term use may also be prescribed as topical vitamin C therapy and cosmetic surgery.

Often the harsh chemicals and synthetic ingredients that are contained in today’s skincare products do more damage to your skin than you may realize. Herbal remedies, on the other hand have carefully selected natural ingredients to improve the appearance of the skin and prevent future break outs. Two well known herbs such as Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree Oil) and Lavender Essential Oil have wonderful healing powers attributed to their anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-septic actions.

Other herbs such as Arctium lappa and Bulbine frutescence have been used widely to treat skin conditions including acne, eczema, and psoriasis. In addition, Apparatus linearis (Rooibos) an indigenous shrub that hails from South Africa is known worldwide for its anti-oxidant and healing properties as well as its soothing and healing effect on the skin.
