Rosacea Treatment

Causes of Rosacea

The exact cause of the condition known as rosacea is not known, but it typically first appears when people reach their 30s and 40s as a flushing or subtle redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead that comes and goes. If left untreated, rosacea tends to worsen over time. Since rosacea makes the skin very dry, any treatment of rosacea needs to help the skin regain its moisture retention capacity.

Rosacea Treatment - treat rosacea the natural way

For centuries, shea butter has been used in Africa to treat dry skin and to keep the skin moist and healthy. In the 1900's, the French discovered shea butter and began to use this magical substance sparingly as an ingredient in expensive moisturizers. Shea butter is now finally becoming more readily available world wide and is beginning to be recognized as a naturally effective medicinal botanical for the treatment of rosacea.

Shea butter, especially Karite Gold Original Formula with its additional essential oils, is a wonderful agent for revitalizing our skin cells so that they regain their moisture retention capacity. Unrefined shea butter not only contains a high moisturizing fraction, but also contains an extraordinarily high healing fraction. Because of these powerful properties, it's nature's finest one-stop product for dealing effectively with rosacea.

The Healing Fraction: When just a moisturizer is used to treat rosacea, the skin cells are hydrated, but then quickly lose the moisture. To treat rosacea effectively, the cells need to be made more elastic. The essential oils we add to Karite Gold work synergistically with the shea butter's healing fraction to restore the skin cells' elasticity. As the healing progresses, the cells continue to admit moisture as before, but after the healing are better able to keep it from escaping.

The Moisturizing Fraction: Shea butter is a particularly good moisturizer because it penetrates the skin quickly, while leaving it feeling soft and smooth with no oily residue.

When using shea butter for the treatment of rosacea, apply a moderate amount of Karite Gold to the areas of your face that are affected by rosacea. After you have coated an area with shea butter, spend some time making sure that the shea butter works its way down under the surface of your skin. Move your fingers gently in a circular motion as you apply the shea butter.
