Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation Review

Urban Decay's Naked Skin foundation is a great option for those with rosacea and/or sensitive skin looking for a light-weight medium coverage that is buildable without being cakey. It does have its flaws but they can be managed if you are oily - like me.

Rosacea Rant

Over the years that I have suffered from rosacea the number one thing that doctors recommend to reduce redness is laser treatment. Why is that? Is it because that's the easiest thing for them to recommend? Is it because they don't have to think about anything else that may effectively reduce or eliminate the redness? Maybe it's because there is really nothing else that can help?

With all the lotions, medications, and types laser treatments out there, there is really nothing that a doctor (at least any that I've had over the years) can do to eliminate rosacea and all of its symptoms.

What really irritates me is that no doctor (that I know of) talks about inflammation or how to reduce the redness and swelling caused by inflammation. Whether is it dietary changes or medications. That is something that can be done about rosacea.

It just ticks me off...

FAB Ultra Repair Lotion Review

I'm always on the hunt for a great lotion that will calm rosacea. First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Lotion is just one of many that I've tried over the years but one of few that I actually like.

It is thinner than the Ultra Repair Cream, which I like due to my oily/combination skin, but contains the same ingredients that calm the skin. This product is definitely more than just a body lotion in my opinion.

What do you think? Have you tried FAB's Ultra Repair Lotion? What other products do you use to help calm your rosacea?
