Does anyone know how long it generally takes for your face to stop being red after you stop drinking?

Good question!
And do the capillaries ever get repaired?

:day4In about 10 days you should see some relief. Don't eat any hot food or anything that will make you flush. Also try Prosacia. It is a new creme for Rosacia (red face) they only sell in the first aid dept of most drug stores.

Also, try getting some epsom salt, make a paste and put it on a damp washcloth. put it on your face for 10 mins or however long you can. It helps shrink the blood vessels. Epsom salt is great for bruises so you can imagine how nice it will work on your face.

Also, go to GNC and get some Milk Thistle capsules and Detox tea. Milk thistles aid the liver in getting rid of poisen. Hope this helps.

While I think lovinmenow has some interesting ideas
A dermotologist is the best resource.

It all depends on various things...how long you have had
this condition..your skin type...your age...your complextion.

Please post again...let us know how you are doing.

I always blamed the "red face" on my rosacea. Funny how after 5 days of no alcohol red face is a mere blush!

a few days ago someone at work noticed my red face and asked me if I had been going in the tanning beds...hahaha.

that was one of the things that clicked in my head and i said, um nicole i think it's getting to be that time where you need to stop drinking.

I am not sure how long it takes to get back to normal, but i know that our bodies are amazing at healing itself, and will eventually return to normal.

so i guess for now just enjoy your rosy glow!
