Christine`s also concerned about Rosacea: I have fairly bad rosacea, my cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin are always more pink than the rest of my face. If I drink alcohol or caffeine, or eat spicy foods, those areas become VERY red. I became excited when I saw that Aveeno came out with a moisturizer clinically proven to reduce the visibility of redness. Does this product work for rosacea, or is it just for people who have pink tones in their fair skin? The Right Brain`s red-faced reply:
As you know if you read our recent post on Rosacea, there are only a few drugs that have been proven to be effective in the reducing redness. The Aveeno product you referenced (the ULTRA-CALMING DAILY MOISTURIZER WITH SPF 15) doesn`t contain any of these drugs but it does include a combination of sunscreens that can prevent Rosacea prone skin from turning red in the first place. That doesn`t necessarily mean that it will help you, but it does address at least one of the causal factors of Rosacea so it may be worth a try. Let us know how it works for you!
Now, here’s a challenge for the Beauty Brains community: what does the picture in today’s post have to do with this topic? The first person to post a comment with the right answer wins!

Doesn’t oatmeal soothe skin? I don’t know why it does, but I know that oatmeal baths are recommended for people with chicken pox, and that a lot of Aveeno products are marketed as containing oatmeal.
Aveeno is quite close to “avena” (in Spanish ans G_d knows how many other Latin-derived languages) which in turn, means oatmeal. I wouldn’t be surprised if its part of the scientific name too.
Yesss! The scientific name for oats is Avena Sativa.
Oatmeal has the same soothing qualties as aveeno has
We have a winner! Moxiehart (I love that screen name!) was the first to post the answer we were looking for – the bowl of oatmeal in the picture represents the key featured ingredient in Aveeno. Yay Moxie! We don’t have a prize for you right now but we’ll see what we can do in the future. (We’re thinking about opening a Brain’s store in the near future!).
Yay, I won! Thanks re: my screen name.
I love this website, BtW. I read a favorable article about your site in Bitch magazine & I’m addicted.
