How Lisa Faulkner handled her Acne Rosacea?





Lisa first found signs of acne when she looked at herself in a mirror waiting for her make-up to be done. Though her make-up artist magically covered it up with layers of foundation for the time being, she advised Lisa to consult a dermatologist.

The skin experts confirmed that the flushing of her skin was due to Acne Rosacea and gave her the causes in a nut shell.

  • Extreme exposure to sunlight
  • Drugs
  • Alcohol
  • Spicy foods
  • Stress


Lisa couldn't attribute her condition to any other cause but stress. She immediately resorted to yoga to calm herself down. Lisa is a testimony to how yoga can help reduce Acne Rosacea. She says from her experience that there is no hard-and-fast rule which can be applied universally to treat everyone suffering from Rosacea, as the causes are different and the treatment differs with the causes. Only by trial and one can discover a permanent cure. But what we need to do without haste is preventing the sudden flare ups, by identifying what causes those flare ups and avoiding it. Once you just ignore them thinking they just look as if you are blushing always, sooner or later, blood vessels may break leading to permanent red veins and painful spots. Lisa also developed bumps on the forehead which started itching later. So the moral of the story is “Blushing is not always fancy!”

Things which caused flare-ups for Lisa
  • Champagne
  • White wine
  • Strong sunlight

Lisa's sudden flare-ups helped her seem as though her face was really burnt from a chips pan in Spooks TV Series


Lisa recollects her role in Spooks TV Series where she was to be violently killed by immersing her face into a boiling chips pan. Scary it may sound, but she just had to put her face inside a pan of dry ice which gave the boiling effect! But the Rosacea flare-ups came in timely to make her face seem as though they were taken-off from an intensely hot water. But Rosacea was not always helpful for her. It started giving out pain physically and frustration psychologically.


Hear it straight from Lisa

“I was initially prescribed steroid cream and the antibiotic Tetracycline, which is often given to treat acne because of its anti-inflammatory properties, calming the redness in rosacea as well as acne. I was told I should take the antibiotics for only a short time as they can lose effectiveness if they are taken for long periods. They worked brilliantly and still do if I do have flare-ups.I was amazed that yoga can be so calming. It helped me such a lot. I used to go three or four times a week, although now it's twice weekly as I don't have more time - but it still works for me.Homoeopathic anti-redness treatments worked for a while then stopped doing so, which was disappointing. I also tried acupuncture, which helped calm me down a bit, but not as much as yoga.”

She says that cosmetics that contain capers  had some positive effect on her skin, but doctors aren’t sure if it would be effective to reach the lower layers of the skin where the condition takes roots from and cure it permanently. Since there is no proven solution for the condition, it’s always better to keep our ears open towards every solution that worked.

Celebrities with Acne Rosacea and how they faced it


Rosacea, unlike other chronic diseases does not cost you with severe consequences. This infact has been one of the main reasons why people ignore to treat once they see symptoms. But one thing that Rosacea can make you lose is your confidence.If at all you see symptoms of Rosacea, don't vex thinking its only you out of everyone. It's always nice when celebrities talk about their skin problems so that we can get convinced our condition is nothing weird. This post contains celebrities with Rosacea of varying levels who either manage to get technology's help to hide it or try to get cured or simply live with it.




Of all the celebrities whom we suspect to have Rosacea, Bill Clinton is an exception. His doctors themselves disclosed this condition of his in the New York Times. US News online officially said that his nose seemed swollen always with bumps all over chin and cheeks. So if at all you  had cursed him for blushing in public when caught for the sex scandal, better forgive him! It was all Rosacea effect.




For a long time it was unknown that Rosacea was prevalent in the British Rotal family too. Though there used to be much of a buzz about who passed it to whom, Rosacea is not a contagious disease to pass on by contact unless one gets it genetically. Souces say that Diana had reddishness in the skin right from childhood. Prince Charles too has clear symptoms, which suggests why Princes Harry and William have it.But Diana like most celebrities managed to bury the condition under layers of make-up. If you ever get to read the book,  "Royal Fashion and Beauty Secrets"written by Ann Chubb, you will come to know about how she reacted to Rosacea.





W C Fields, the British Comedian and Actor too has extreme acne Rosacea which. His irregularly swollen ugly nose is a testimony to what would result if early symptoms are untreated. He has never taken up the courage to accept the condition. Though he says that his swollen nose is because of fights at the bar at young age. From this, one thing is clear. The alcohol has had its effect on him... if not on him, on just his nose! But Fields didn't have to care much about his looks as people always love odd looking comedians.





Janis Joplin. American song writer and singer who was ranked 46 in the list of 100 Greatest Artists of all time in 2004. Her rosacea's cause could have possibly been the unhappiness that she created for herself. Her mother once described that she was unhappy and unsatisfied without attention. Her skin broke out as early as a teenager which left her friends name her "pig", "creep", "ugliest man in school". Her short lifespan of 27 years couldn't  possibly have  given her the time to treat Rosacea, but she definitely got it intensified with her addiction towards heroin. Perhaps the Rosacea effect  kindled the fire in her to sing.

Lisa Faulkner of Spooks-fame was diagnosed of having chronic acne  Rosacea at the age of 30. Admired for her smooth glowing sking during teens, the news made her desperate about her career. Luckily, she got a make-up artist who skillfully concealed her redness. Of all the celebrities, she is the only one who seems to have bothered too much about the condition, or rather she is the only one who revealed it to the public. From consulting a dermatologist, using aqueous face creams to trying accupuncture, every treatment had failed to give her relief. She prefers yoga to keep her calm as stress is one of the reasons she thinks she got it. You can read all the other treatments that worked and those that failed in this  post.
