| What is rosacea? |
| Rosacea (roz-ay-sha) is a very common benign skin disorder that affects many people worldwide. As of 2008, it is estimated to affect at least 14 million people in the United States alone. The main symptoms of this facial condition include red or pink patches, visible broken blood vessels, small red bumps, red cysts, and pink or irritated eyes. Most people with the disease may not even know they have rosacea or that it |

| is a diagnosable and treatable condition. Many patients may just assume they blush easily or have gotten sunburned. |
| Rosacea is considered a chronic (long-term), non-curable skin disease with periodic ups and downs. As opposed to traditional acne, most adult patients do not “outgrow” rosacea. It characteristically involves the central region of the face, causing persistent redness or transient flushing over the areas of the face and nose that normally blush — mainly the forehead, the chin and the lower half of the nose.

| Hand-Tied Brushes Versus Cut-to-Shape |
| One of the distinguishing features of a good quality brush is the standard and type of natural hair used and how that hair is shaped and attached to the handle by the ferrule.

This maintains the integrity of the natural hair |

| with its fine tapered end. All hair naturally tapers off to a fine point as it looses its keratin layers. This tapered effect makes the hair feel soft, picks up our mineral powders more efficiently, and disburses and distributes them more evenly on the skin. |
|
|
|
| The tapered ends also impart a soft, soothing effect on the skin, which only enhances the experience of having mineral makeup applied. For those who have had procedures that sensitize the skin, our brushes ensure that it will not be sensitized further. |
| Hair that is cut to shape, however, results in a blunt end on each individual hair, and thus a brush that feels rough and stubbly on the skin as well as causing the minerals to fly off as they are applied. There is no comparison between the two when it comes to results. |

| April is Rosacea
Awareness Month |
| Although the number of people with rosacea continues to rise with the growth and aging of the U.S. population, most fail to recognize the warning signs of this potentially life-disruptive disorder now estimated to affect well over 14 million Americans. The National Rosacea Society (NRS) has designated April as Rosacea Awareness Month to alert the public to the signs and symptoms of this chronic and conspicuous facial condition and to emphasize the importance of seeking medical help. |
