Rosacea Nearly Cured!

[NK1990]

Hey everyone hope you are all well,

I have suffered from Rosacea for 15 years now and have tried absolutely everything to heal it. I have tried expensive creams from brands like La Mer to cheaper alternatives that claimed to be for sensitive skin like La Roche Posay/Avene and Dermalex. None of these brands did anything for my skin and i was slowly getting depressed as nothing seemed to make my rosacea any better. I have also tried LED therapy which didnt work and have tried nearly all natural home remedy masks too.

I read a website this girl had made in which she posted about ingredients of skincare and make up that contain harmful chemicals and cause skin irritation. I cant list the website yet as i am a new member and the system does not let me but, i was so fed up one day after reading her website that i went through ALL of my make up and skincare including bath products and literally THREW everything out that had harmful chemicals in it. I started using a brand called Earthbound Organics in the UK which has NO chemicals in it and my skin is looking so much better finally! I have been using it for one month now and my redness has died down so much that i actually cried when i saw my skin this morning (happy tears of course)

Also i have to add that i have discovered a doctor who has published books and has radio seminars in the US called Dr Anthony Williams also knows as Medical Medium. He is absolutely amazing!! He tells you what to exactly eat for rosacea and since following his diet tips my skin has greatly improved. He suggests to start the day on 16oz celery juice and i have seena tremendous difference in my skin! All redness i had around my body has completely cleared up thanks to his book Life Changing Foods. He describes the link between the gut and skin diseases really well.

I will share photos of my skin before and after for those interested, but i really wanted to share with you all two things that finally has gotten rid of most of my rosacea as i have been reading these forums since i was 12yrs old!

Why do you find it necessary to post the same information to three different threads?

The information reads to me like an advertisement for a so called "natural" cosmetics company and an American "Medical Medium" whatever that is.

Negativity 'johnabetts'

You don't own the forum - i can post as many times as i want as a new starter, secondly i'm not advertising anything i sincerely came on here out of care as i have finally found a skincare line that has gotten rid of most of my rosacea and wanted to help others, thirdly, Medical Medium is a doctor called Anthony Williams i came across on Instagram who says to drink celery juice in the mornings and describes the link between gut health and rosacea, so i'm not advertising anything nor making money from anything.

If you don't have anything nice to say then don't reply to threads with negativity.

I vote bull**** advertising.

I'm so glad you have found something that works for you. But, its a myth that going organic is better for our skin, in fact a lot of "natural" products contain essential oils, plant extracts etc that can be very irritating to rosacea prone skin. One size does not fit all.

Hi NK1990!

Welcome to our forum! Thank you for sharing your ideas...I'm so happy you found something that worked for you. I know how hard it can be to find the right kind of skincare and routine to help with rosacea symptoms. I appreciate you sharing your results with us!

I too have heard of Anthony Williams (aka Medical Medium)...he has especially helped people with skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. I truly believe in the healing power of fresh fruits and vegetables as well and most of us here in America don't eat enough to keep our symptoms in boosted with all the phytochemical/antioxidant/inflammatory goodness that those foods provide! I'm glad to hear that your skin is doing much better with simple changes like adding in celery juice.

Please don't be discouraged from posting here. Sometimes people might get suspicious, especially if you mention products, but once they know you are legit, then most of the time people have helpful interactions. I've learned so much from others here on this forum.

Anyway, I hope you have a great day!
M.

My concerns with your post(s) are primarily due to your recommendation of a company producing cosmetic products which do not comply with regulatory requirements of the country of manufacture (the UK or, indeed, anywhere else). Their ingredient declarations are incomplete and incorrect. Who knows what they are putting in their products with such a paucity of information about them?

Johnabetts, I hear your concern, but if it works for her and she'd like to share her success, then she should be able to, right? I would like to think we are a welcoming bunch of people who can read other people's posts and decide for ourselves if it's something that we would like to try. Many of the recommendations here, I take with a grain of salt. Everyone has a different experience and what works for some, might not work for others. Some rosaceans do well with natural skincare, others do not. But everyone's experience is welcomed for me...I love to learn from other people.

Anyway, I just want everyone to feel welcome here. I completely understand the hesitation that it might be someone trying to sell stuff...but also, it could be someone with good intentions as well. I have heard of both of the things the original poster mentioned here in the States, and to me, her success seems legit and I'm happy to hear about it.

Take care,
M.

MissM the products advised are being sold illegally - that should be enough to raise the awareness of any potential users.

Thanks MissM !

Thank you for your support i really appreciate it. I understand everyones skin reacts differently to different products but i genuinely like the skincare i have finally found, i literally found it by searching organic chemical free skincare on google and luckily it was in the UK, JohnAbbetts i understand you are saying it is illegal and i have contacted the director by email and she says the ingredients she uses are fully listed on the website and that she does comply with the uk law.

I have also switched my micellar water cleanser from Bioderma to Akin which is a great natural skincare brand from Australia i believe, it contains green tea which has really calmed my skin down.

I suggest if you wear make up etc you all read/google bad ingredients on this girl's blog i found called the 'Love Vitamin' her website has been really helpful.

I wish i could eat clean completely but i love carbs and sugar and kfc especially now thats its colder in London haha

I have also really like using pure manuka honey mask on my face which helps keeps the redness down.

I wanted to share my views because i was so upset at all these big skincare brands who aim
to help sensitive skin yet use such harsh chemicals, even in our shampoos and toothpaste!

Best of luck to everyone and i hope we all have clear skin one day

I've heard papaya and honey are great

[johnabetts]

NK1990, I can assure you that the cosmetic products offered by Earthbound Organics do NOT comply with the requirements of UK or European legislation.

Well i have taken this up with the company and have got clear communication back. It's a shame that the skincare companies that do actually comply with legislation have all contributed in making my rosacea worse and are full of crappy chemicals. Anyhow i'm not gaining anything by naming the brand i use but just wanted to show to others how much going chemical free has helped me and i hope others feel free to research new brands.

Great that you have already established such a clear and fast line of communication with that company

Yes it's 2017 you would think managers of small companies can email back fast!
