Hi,

I am also prone to red, blotchy skin with areas of rough texture and dryness. I have often wondered if my skin would ever look and act normal. Anti-redness products frequently make my skin burn and get even more red.

Anyway, I read your post and wanted to share with you what has been working for me. It's the first method I have tried that has made a noticeable difference.

I exfoliate my skin with brown sugar every other day. Basically, I wet my face with water and rub brown sugar all over my face for about a minute. I also wash my face with facial soap prior to exfoliating.

Then I cover my face with Manuka honey and leave it on for 10 or 15 minutes. It's a special honey that has been shown to have anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory properties. Manuka honey products are being used in hospitals to treat skin and surgical wounds. It washes off quite easily, despite being so thick and sticky.

That's all I have doing lately other than using a facial sunblock during the day and a night cream at bedtime. The nightcream is called skin regenerating serum by Patricia Wexler. I like this one because it doesn't burn my skin.

I give credits for the improvements not to the expensive nightcream, but to the natural food products! Since using the brown sugar and manuka honey my skin has been less blotchy, less red, and all around more attractive.
