Well, I know there’s a lot of confusion when it comes to facial redness.
It often makes you wonder:
“Do I have rosacea or am I just sensitive?”
Obviously, if you have rosacea, your skin is sensitive.
However, just because you’re sensitive doesn’t necessarily mean you have rosacea…
See what we’re saying?
As you now know, we’re taking questions and concerns from you and to addressing them.
We’re tackling a very important question Vivian had, and we hope that it will help you too.

Hi Derma Divas;
I have noticing that I’m starting to get more and more broken capillaries. They started to almost look like spider veins. Is this rosacea?
Thank you!

I had to write a few words to wish you a Happy New Year and offer a few words for 2009!
I know that to expand your horizons you have to be willing to lose sight of the shore, and I also know that change can sometimes feel uncomfortable (and scary!)
Right?
But I also know change is necessary and getting out of your comfort zone is always a good way to expand and evolve…
…And in running an after-Christmas errand, I had an idea:
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! I hope your holidays have been wonderful.
Can you believe it’s this time of year again?
Where did the year go?…
Next week it’ll be 2009 and we’ll be close to a decade into the new millenium.
The whole Y2K scare was almost 10 years ago!!!
Can you believe it?!
Doesn’t it seem like yesterday???
Well, this year Derma Diva Rosa, my brother, my father and myself decided to spend Christmas away from Los Angeles, in Paso Robles, 4 hours north of Lala Land (btw– my parents are actually divorced, but we still manage to spend the Holidays together as a family from time to time, which I feel so blessed for!)
It’s wine country up here and quite beautiful…it was something new we decided to try this year. To be honest, it’s working out quite nicely! This may actually become a family tradition.
It’s wonderful spending time together, reminiscing on ‘days back when’… and in talking about different people and events, I had an insight I wanted to share.
As you know, we had asked you to write in with your questions and queries concerning your skin.
Who doesn’t have questions, right?
What’s wonderful is that even professionals get stumped every once in awhile concerning their clients’ skin, which is the question we’re answering in today’s post.
You’ll notice that we’ll be posting more and more questions people have and providing answers right here on our blog…of course we still encourage you to keep writing and asking. After all, that’s what we’re here for!
So, here we go!
Dear Derma Divas-
One lady [client] I had used to break out (normal pimples) in the cheek area…lymph node/cheek bone area. Now her skin is clear. [She has] soft but smooth, red bumps that are only visible WITHOUT makeup. As if it’s under the skin? She has exfoliated…no result. Tried many different things. What is the cause of this?
Kate
Well Kate, there are a few things going on here.
First let’s look at the area the break outs were occuring…
