It can act as an additional ingredient in some kind of mask, but as the main component it is better not to use it at all.

The fact is that lemons are capable of causing an allergic reaction that can manifest itself directly on an already inflamed face. Therefore, in no case should you use peelings based on lemon.
In addition, lemon juice can also have a positive effect. Because it has good exfoliating properties. Despite this, it does not hurt the skin, but rather removes excess and removes greasy luster. But still, it is not worth using it as the main means in the fight against couperose. Because the treatment of this disease should be complex and gentle.
Therefore, it is desirable to give preference to nutritious creams and masks. In this case, treatment with couperose will be more effective.
Clay with couperose
Clay in couperose is an adjuvant, it does not combat the focus of the problem. It is advisable to choose the main method of treatment, view all existing ones and then stop at one of them.
It should be noted that there are many ways to get rid of couperose, including the use of clay. In general, this method simply improves the skin as a whole, but does not have any healing properties. Therefore, clay can be attributed to auxiliary means.
If the face is irritated, as well as a lot of vascular mesh, then you need to apply the mask in a special way. You can not cover it with a film, it's an undesirable procedure. Because in this case, you can achieve the effect of a warming compress. This will lead to an even worse situation. Clay is applied to the face, for about 10-20 minutes, on the whole it is necessary to wash it off in the event that it completely dries. This procedure is performed once a week on the background of a general complex treatment. Because the treatment of couperose solely with the use of clay will not give the desired effect.
Ointment from couperose
Can I use ointment from couperose myself? Do not do this. Creams may well be chosen and used in an arbitrary form. You can not say this about ointments. Such things are prescribed only by a cosmetologist or dermatologist.
In general, it is worth noting the fact that ointments in the treatment of vascular reticulum are not used so often. Because the lungs of this disease are removed by cosmetic means. In particularly severe cases, only hardware cosmetic procedures are used. These procedures are understood as the use of a laser, ozone, and also electric impact.
As for ointments, it is difficult to name any specific ones. After all, they are prescribed only by a dermatologist. Because many of them are aimed at improving microcirculation. Thus, a wide distribution was received by troxevasin, heparin ointment and ointment with calendula. Treatment of couperose with ointments is not very popular today. Because there are many other more effective alternatives.
Heparin ointment from couperose
Heparin ointment from couperose is used with extreme caution. It is used in special cases. So, basically it is used for thrombolefeat, external hemorrhoids, trophic ulcers, injuries, bruises and couperose.
It has a good anti-inflammatory effect, can remove irritation, and also rid of the vascular network. But there are some contraindications regarding its use. Thus, increased hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, as well as a violation of the integrity of the skin does not allow the use of this ointment.
This drug is used exclusively externally. It is applied by a thin layer in the area of the lesion and slowly rubbed. Use it for 3-7 days. The duration of treatment is determined only by the dermatologist, because everything depends on the specific situation. Without consulting a doctor, you can not use ointment in any case. Treatment of couperose with ointments is not particularly practiced, but this does not mean that trying to get rid of the problem, therefore, is not worth it.
Troxevasin from couperose
Troxevasin from couperose is the best medicinal product of its kind. This drug is based on the substance of the routine, which refers to the vitamins of P. It is this component, together with ascorbic acid, that are the main substances that can strengthen the blood vessels.
Troxevasin is able to tone the smooth musculature of the capillary walls, due to this they become less noticeable. They are not able to be thrombosed, because of this, the process is mainly a vascular reticulum. If only small areas are visible on the skin, then troxevasin is used exclusively externally. It should be applied twice a day with light massaging movements.
If the couperose occupies a rather large area, then simultaneously with the ointment it is possible to use capsules for ingestion. The course of treatment is about a month or more. Troxevasinum with couperose can not be used alone, it is prescribed in the complex. Treatment of couperose alone can not be carried out by such means.
Vitamins with couperose
Vitamins in couperose are the best and harmless remedy with a vascular mesh. These "components" should be in the diet of each person, regardless of whether he has any problems or not. Often it is recommended to use the three most common vitamins.
Vitamin C. Ascorbic acid is able to actively act immediately in two ways. First of all, it nicely narrows the vessels, and secondly, it is able to participate in the process of procollagen synthesis. Due to this, vitamin C is able to act on the vessels themselves and on the tissue adjacent to the connective tissue.
Vitamin K. If there is a deficit of this "component", then gradually the walls of the vessels are thinning. This is to say that when preventing couperose, it is necessary to constantly maintain the normal level of the content of this vitamin.
Vitamin R. Due to this "component" the fragility of the vessels decreases several times, besides, their elasticity increases. Together with ascorbic acid this complex gives the maximum effect. This suggests that the treatment of couperose should be comprehensive.
Ascorutinum with couperose
Is everyone allowed to use ascorutin in couperose? This drug contains ascorbic acid and rutin. These two components contribute to the improvement of the elasticity of the vessels, and also prevent their fragility. In addition, they do not cause any allergic reactions, so almost all can apply this drug.
But it's impossible to do this on your own. The fact is that, despite all the safety, there is always a risk of harming your body. Therefore, a doctor's consultation is needed. In general, ascorutin can lead the skin in complete order. Due to the content of fatty acids, as well as vitamin E, and such a positive effect of the drug is achieved. Only it is worth noting that this drug prevents the appearance of couperose, but does not fight the already existing problem.
This tool is used in courses, but not more often than once in six months. If there are problems with blood coagulation, then a preliminary consultation with a doctor is needed. Because treatment of couperose at home is not a simple process.
