Evan Healy Blue Lavender Cleansing Milk
Perfect for sensitive skin, this gentle cleansing milk contains cooling and soothing organic lavender and blue chamomile to calm sensitive skin conditions including rosacea. What is the purpose of a cleanser? (A deceptively simple question.) A cleanser's purpose is to mix with and dissolve excess sebum, refine skin texture, "lift" metabolic impurities from tiny dermal pores, and provide a balanced condition for moisturizing. Evan Healy's Cleansing Milks also soften and soothe. The pH balanced formula is an effective choice for a variety of skin conditions, from the most delicate, sensitive and mature to dry and dehydrated with oily T-zone imbalances. Consistent use improves and normalizes your skin. Lightly scented with only pure, steam-distilled essential oils, the cleansing milks are made with certified organic hydrosols and botanical extracts.
Oil and water mix exceedingly well on the skin. As long as the oil is a plant source and not synthetic, it will not clog pores of feel heavy. Oil cleanses oil better than anything. This fact many sound counter-intuitive to those who battle excess oil, but it is true. Quite simply, the skin is made up of oil and water, so we are recreating a condition that the skin can recognize. Plant oils act in a completely different manner on the skin than a synthetic oil. They are most efficient at cutting and dissolving excess oil, without leaving the skin feeling dry and tight. As we age, natural oil productions begins to slow. Adding plant-based oil and water to the restores luster and keeps pores clear and clean, resulting in skin with increased flexibility and suppleness.

Something that works!
I have search high and low for a product that doesn't leave my face itchy and inflamed. I have used just about every product out there and it has been a mine field of stinging, itching, acne, dryness, and pain. This product actually works for me. I think different products work for different people. If you are still looking for a simple cleanser that will do it's job without aggravating your rosacea - this might be it. It's organic - no chemicals (yea!). It also has a lovely lavender sent. It's a little pricey but I think it is worth it. I hope it will work for you too!

Rosacea Subtypes
Subtype 1: Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea
characterized by flushing and persistent redness, and may also include visible blood vessels.
Subtype 2: Papulopustular rosacea
characterized by persistent redness with transient bumps and pimples.
Subtype 3: Phymatous rosacea
characterized by skin thickening, often resulting in an enlargement of the nose from excess tissue.
Subtype 4: Ocular rosacea
characterized by ocular manifestations such as dry eye, tearing and burning, swollen eyelids,
recurrent styes and potential vision loss from corneal damage.
Rosacea Stages
Pre-Rosacea
the first cardinal sign of rosacea: blood vessels dilate to more stimuli, open wider and stay open for longer periods of time compared to normal
persons. No visible damage can normally be seen.
Mild Rosacea
begins when the facial redness induced by flushing persists for an abnormal length of time - usually 1/2 an hour or more after a trigger. Those who
have frequent pre-rosacea flushing are highly susceptible to progressing to mild rosacea. Some of the common triggers for a facial flush are heat,
cold, emotions, exercise, topical irritants and allergic reactions.
Moderate Rosacea
as facial flushing becomes more frequent and intense, vascular damage occurs. This can result in long lasting redness, swelling and inflammatory
papules and pustules. Telangiectasia (damaged micro blood vessels, often visible on the surface of the skin) may be noticed in the areas where
flushing is worst.
Severe Rosacaea
characterised by intense bouts of facial flushing, severe inflammation, facial pain, swelling and burning sensations. Sufferers may develop
intolerance to products they were able to use before. Also inflammatory papules, pustules and nodules may be present. Some experience a bulbous
enlargement of the nose, known as rhinophyma. This is just a guide, you may of course experience symptoms outside these ranges.
