There are about 16 Million Americans with rosacea, and a whopping 77% of them are wearing makeup to cover up their redness. I fully admit that I'm one of them!

You'll find startling statistics about how many people suffer from rosacea, how many of us are covering it up and even some great skincare tips from New York City dermatologist Dr. Doris Day.
