People
with rosacea
flush easily, thanks to
facial blood vessels that become dilated, drawing blood closer to the surface, says Leslie Baumann, MD, a dermatologist in Miami and author of The Skin Type Solution.
Facial protection prevents the mucous membranes in the eyes, nose, and mouth from contact
with infectious materials and should be worn whenever exposure to splashes or sprays is likely, such as during lancing of abscesses,
flushing of wounds, dentistry procedures, nebulization of medications, suction or lavage of wounds, and necropsies.
