it seems like a lifetime ago but i once worked as an esthetician in a Plastic Surgeon's office. one of the many skin complaints i helped treat was facial redness. facial redness is such a tricky thing because if you use the wrong products, it will only make the redness worse, however the right products can sometimes not completely help either. facial redness is caused by broken capillaries near the surface of the skin which is what causes that red hue. so what is a person going to do with facial redness? makeup, a lot of makeup. 

until now.

Galderma has launched a leading skincare product called Mirvaso^®. Mirvaso^® (brimonidine) topical gel, 0.33%* is topical product that is to be applied to the face to help those suffering from the persistent facial redness of rosacea. you apply a pea sized amount to each of the five areas of your face (forehead,  nose, chin and each cheek) once a day. this gel helps reduce Rosacea redness for up to twelve hours. for those who suffer from persistent redness, this is quite a relief!

now that Galderma is offering you an alternative to treating persistent red skin with more than just makeup, Mirvaso® is giving you the chance to Break Up With Your Makeup! this is an opportunity to win a star studded walk down the red carpet at the Emmys. simply head to the Mirvaso^® website here and enter your email address for a chance to win.
