Rosacea and Sensitive Skin Profile Collection

Rosacea Skin Profile
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that typically affects the central part of the face, including the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin. While there is not a consensus on the the exact cause of rosacea, we believe the most significant contributors are stress (emotional, physical, and mental), diet, hormonal fluctuations, medications, environment (smoking, pollution, the sun, and the wrong skincare products), and genetics. Garden of Wisdom supports and believes that Rosacea is very complicated. We strive to teach our customers that being gentle and not expecting immediate results will create the desired experience. 
As Rosacea typically presents itself with a rosy red rash, it is surmised that this involves inflammation of small blood vessels in the facial capillaries. These capillaries (often called distended capillaries or broken capillaries) extend into the capillary walls. This is due partially to poor elasticity in the capillary wall.

There are also other theories about the cause of rosacea, including yeast, mite or bacterial overgrowth, unhealthy bowels and overgrowth of bacteria in the bowels, and other health conditions. We believe that harsh skin care, acids, and skin irritants play a role in wearing down the skin barrier, leading to Rosacea.

Sensitive Skin Profile
Here at Garden of Wisdom, we think that sensitive skin is usually a condition more than an actual ‘type’ of skincare. We believe we are born with beautiful, forgiving and loving skin.  Without guidance or even being misguided we can, over time, cause serious damage to our skin barrier.  This becomes cyclical as the skin never really heals due to the fact that the ‘damaged’ skin barrier is not able to foster skin protection so all of the outside environmental garbage (pollution, cigarette smoke, toxins, and more) are able to permeate the skin barrier which, in turn, causes even more damage. With the skin in a weakened state, it is also susceptible to bacteria.
This doesn't mean your skin is set to be sensitive for life. With gentle skin care and elimination of as many contributing factors, it is possible to get your skin back to a normal, balanced condition. Sensitive Skin Profile can lead to Rosacea Skin Profile if not addressed.
