My main problem is the very deep redness all over my face. My skin is smooth, no problem with pimples, spots etc. I have had this problem now for approx 20 years. I thought the redness which appeared very gradually over the years was, in fact, a healthy look, like someone who spends a lot of time outside, like a farmer. How misguided can you be?
A few nights ago, whilst researching this condition online I learned about the demodex mite. That same night I felt these mites crawling over my face. I don't know if it is psychological after reading of other people's experiences or if these mites really are there.
Ted seems to suggest borax and peroxide. The problem is you can't buy it in the shops in England. I've seen it online but am very wary as I don't know what additives may have been used. Can anyone in UK please let me know where they obtained it from and if they had any success with it, please?
Any other suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks

Sorry, didn't make my earlier post very clear. I have only started using the ACV and other things I mentioned just a few days ago. Also, it is only the borax that I am having trouble locating, I can get the peroxide at my local chemist. What I need to find is something to use that will get rid of the permanent sunburnt look that I have on my face, neck and top of my chest.

Hi Sarah! I just saw your post on the website and I would like to tell you that I've been suffering from rosacea for the past 7 years or so. I do live in Brighton as well and this is why I'm writing to you to see if it's possible for the both of us to meet up. Maybe we can exchange information about the problem and help each other. I've been to diferent countrys looking for solutions and I'm constantly doing research on this, as I said, it would be nice to talk to someone face to face who can fully understand me. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards
