Product Review: Neutrogena Visibly Even Moisturizer


Neutrogena has a great selection of moisturizers, but one of the best ones is the Visibly Even Moisturizer.  This particular moisturizer comes easy on the face and is non-greasy, so it doesn’t make your face look oily once you apply it.  I always stress the importance of sunscreen on a regular basis, so another benefit of this product is that it contains SPF 30.
As an added bonus, this moisturizer has soy, which evens out your skin tone and reduces the appearance of dark spots on the face.  The effect of the soy ingredient takes several weeks to have noticeable results, but it actually does its job.
The only drawback of it is that it only has 1.7 fluid ounces of moisturizer, which isn’t a whole lot considering the price of the product (about 15 USD)

Rosacea Caused By Mites?

Scientists have discovered what they believe to be the cause of Rosascea, a skin condition marked by the chronic reddening of the face.  It has long been speculated for the origin of Rocascea, but scientists have recently discovered that it is caused by mites known as Demodex.

Demodex mites are invisible to the naked eye and live inside human pores.  These mites have no anus, so when they die inside pores, all their "waste" erupts from their bodies, causing Rosascea.  Although this is still a theory (with evidence), this can open potential for new Rosascea treatments and eventually a cure.
