<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> WOW! I have recieved so many requests that I have chosen to post the recipe rather than send out multiple replies. But first, I will say that this wash does not replace proper medical treatment. I must continue to use my Metrogel (prescription topical anitbiotic). This skin disorder does not go away, but can be controlled through diet and proper skin care. Occaisionally it does go into a remission... so don't be fooled into thinking it is cured. Next I will tell you that I got the idea for this recipe from a product made by Smith and Vandiver called "Botanical Bubbling Bath Creme." Basically this product was: aloe vera gel, a foaming agent, and pomegranite extract. I have never found anything as pure as this product. Apparently they went out of business, and I am no longer able to purchase the product. (If you know where they got off to, do tell!) For further information on Rosacea please check the National Rosacea Society web site at: http://www.rosacea.org/home.html Rosacia Skin wash: One 7.75 fl. Oz. "Almay" Brand* Hypoallergenic Sensitive Skin Foaming Cleanser To this add the following: 3 tablespoons pomegranite juice** 4 tablespoons aloe vera gel*** Mix thoroughly, use twice daily to "gently" wash your face. Never rub or scrub your face as this will severely redden and irritate your delicate skin! Apply meds as directed by your Dr. * I chose this product (Almay) because it contained the least amounts of products known to aggrivate Rosacea. ** Pomegranite is a homeopathic remedy to cleanse and purify. I blended up the seeds from a fresh pomegranite and then poured the pulp through a wire sieve to extract the juice. (you may save any leftover juice in a sealed container in the freezer. *** Aloe Vera Gel. This also is a homeopathic treatment chosen for it's soothing healing properties. It is most often used for kitchen burns and is a popular ingredient in many skin products. I purchased mine at Trader Joe's, but I have seen it at GNC as well. Do not purchase any aloe vera product containing alcohol! Also, make sure that if it contains citric acid it is at or very near the bottom of the list of ingredients. Alchol and acidic products will be irritating and cause more damage. DISCLAIMER: Again, I am not a Dr., and I have no interest in any of the above mentioned companies. I submit this to you in hopes that it helps you as it has me. Use it at your own risk, and do not forgo your regular medical treatments. If you are ALLERGIC to aloe vera or pomegranite, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT USING THIS RECIPE! ;) PERSONAL ANECTDOTE: I've found that I must be careful of the products I use on my hands as they can be transferred when touching your face. Recently I used a product that was highly scented, and another that contained alpha hydroxy: Both irritated my face when they transferred off of my hands! If you have any further questions regarding the above information please feel free to ask me privately. I hope this helps you, Lynda \*/\*/\*/ Lynda \*/ [log in to unmask] \*/ So.
