Katinka Hesselink on Hubpages
70
One thing I like about hubpages is the questions. I've answered several, but only a few by making a hub. Usually they fit into my general niche: religion and spirituality. I have made several hubs in that category. The hub about karma and reincarnation was made in response to a question.
Another theme are the red cheeks that have bugged me all my life. You can guess how delighted I was to find a cure... I made two hubs about that.
The rest of my hubs are a mixed set: My grandmother has alzheimer's and the memory book we made really helps remind her of the basic facts of her life. I've always used planners, so I made a hub about how to use them in college.
Dealing with redness on the face
As I said - I've dealt with redness in my face my whole life. One of the reasons I rarely wear make-up is that it would have to be a whole LOT of make-up to first cover up the red cheeks and chin, and THEN paint over with blush and stuff. Given my sensitive skin, I never took that route. I still don't.
But now that the redness on my cheeks is less, I've found that simply using mascara makes a lot of difference. My face is more of a blank slate as it were, now that my skin has improved in tone and texture. No need to cover up any more - and therefor less fuss.
- Best Makeup For Red Cheeks
Curing redness on the face would be ideal, but on a job interview or hot date you just can't wait the week or two it takes at minimum to cure rosacea: enter concealing make up for sensitive skin that ALSO treats the redness long term. - How to get rid of a red face
A friend recently advised me to start using blush! I could not believe it - my cheeks were always so red that using blush was only an option AFTER using a concealer of some kind.

I've stayed away from hot and spicy food all my life, and it did not prevent the redness on my cheeks from growing. The products I advise on the two hubs I made about this DID help.
Great to see you over here on Hubpages! I just started becoming a little bit more active myself. Best of luck!
Welcome Katinka. :)
Well,well. It shows I don't get out much. I had no idea you had so many hubs! I guess I need to start reading.

My sister had that same redness and was diagnosed with rosacea several years ago. She basically has to stay away from anything hot or spicy. They also gave her a cream for it. It seemed to help.
