I unfortunately caught the "bug" going around. The change in season Flu/Cold. Miserable achy body, itchy watery eyes, congestion. Now my point here is how does this affect my skin?? It will if I let it. Have you heard of telangiectasia? Telangiectasia is broken capilleries or blood vessels usually surrounding the nose, face and chin; although they can develop anywhere on the body. Do you have severe redness surrounding your nose? If you look closely you can see that it's not just redness it is broken capilleries (telangiectasia). This redness can be brought about a number of ways. The number one way is by blowing your nose, or wiping your nose too roughly. This is a common mistake we often make when we're too sick to care. The next time you are sick, you must take into account that just by wiping your nose can cause you to have a long term effect of telangiectasia. Another cause is over exfoliating. Telangiectasia is not easy to get rid of and treat. What we often find ourselves doing is covering the redness up with concealer. The best way to treat this redness is with laser technology. So keep in mind next time you're wiping your nose, that this is a sensitive delicate area.
