“…They may have a significant impact on a patient’s quality of life (QOL), namely on their relationship with others, self image, and self esteem and can cause depression and/or emotional distress 1–3. These psychosocial aspects have important implications for the optimal management of patients by dermatologists: poor patient satisfaction leading to poor adherence to treatment with consequently poor health outcomes 4…”

BackgroundDisfiguring dermatoses may have a significant impact on patients’ quality of life, namely on their relationship with others, self image, and self esteem. Some previous studies have suggested that corrective foundation can improve the quality of life (QOL) of patients with facial dermatoses; in particular, in patients with acne vulgaris or pigmentary disorders.ObjectiveThe aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the impact of the skin conditions of patients with various skin diseases affecting their face (scars, acne, rosacea, melasma, vitiligo, hypo or hyperpigmentation, lentigines, etc) on their QOL and the improvement afforded by the use of corrective makeup for 1 month after being instructed on how to use it by a medical cosmetician during an initial medical consultation.MethodsOne hundred and twenty-nine patients with various skin diseases affecting the patients’ face were investigated. The patients were instructed by a cosmetician on how to use corrective makeup (complexion, eyes, and lips) and applied it for 1 month. The safety of the makeup application was evaluated and the QOL was assessed via a questionnaire (DLQI) and using a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS) completed before the first application and at the final visit. The amelioration of their appearance was documented by standardized photography.ResultsNo side effects occurred during the course of the study. A comparison of the standardized photographs taken at each visit showed the patients’ significant improvement in appearance due to the application of corrective makeup. The mean DLQI score dropped significantly from 9.90 ± 0.73 to 3.49 ± 0.40 (P < 0.0001).ConclusionOur results suggest that dermatologists should encourage patients with disfiguring dermatoses to utilize appropriate and safe makeup to improve their appearance and their QOL. Corrective makeup can also complement the treatment of face dermatological diseases in order to improve patient’s adherence.

“…There is little consensus within the scientific community on skin-type definitions [33], but the combination skin type seems to be most common [34,35]. Women with oily skin are prone to negative perception of their skin type [36] but demonstrate better judgement in its evaluation [37]. Market research suggests that around 40% of Caucasian women have a combination skin type and around 39% experience low-level adult acne [38,39].…”

“…In treatment of premenstrual acne, it is important to adopt a specific skin care routine designed to reduce excess sebum [36] as the free fatty acids and squalene have been shown to induce comedones [55]. Daily cleansing and moisturizing have been proven to be beneficial in reducing microcomedones and improving overall skin condition within 4 weeks [5,75].…”

Synopsis The face is the most exposed part of our body, and deterioration of facial appearance, through disease or ageing, causes psychological distress. Acne lesions and subsequent pigmentation changes contribute to the unevenness of skin colour that is detrimental to facial attractiveness and leads to rejection and stigmatization in our society. The purpose of this review is to look at the root causes of premenstrual acne and, for the first time ever, propose that the specific timing of treatment can, at least in part, resolve the acne lesions. We postulate that it is the timing of the manual extraction that matters in resolving premenstrual acne and that the effectiveness of this therapy could be improved. Based on the reviewed evidence, we propose that it is important to remove the comedones at the time of ovulation, prior to the reduction of the size of the sebaceous orifice and epidermal barrier function, to counteract the onset of increased sebum production, prevent blockage of the pores and subsequent bacterial colonization and inflammation. If performed successfully, the extraction may contribute to a reduction in inflamed acne lesions and thus benefit women by increasing their facial attractiveness, well‐being, social function and thereby decrease psychological stress.

“…This method of measuring sebaceous secretion, which has good repeatability and reproducibility, is based on the premise that lipids increase the transparency of opaque glass when in contact (11,12). The transparency variation is measured by a photometer; recordable values lie between 0 and 350 ng/cm^ and are referred to in this paper as the "sebimi level" (SL).…”

Isotretinoin is one of the therapeutic options for rosacea. However, the response of erythema to treatment with isotretinoin is usually slow and incomplete with common (0.5-1 mg/kg/day) or low (10 mg/day) doses. This study investigated the efficacy of, and relapse on, 20 mg/day isotretinoin treatment in rosacea, with the aid of instrumental measurement of facial erythema and sebum levels. A 20 mg/day dose of isotretinoin was given for 4 months, and then the dose was tapered off within the following 6 months. A total of 25 patients were included in the study. Papule and pustule counts, erythema index, sebum level, dermatologist's and patient's erythema scores, and dermatologist's sebum scores were significantly lower in the first month of therapy compared with pre-treatment values (p < 0.05). Within a median follow-up of 11 months (95% confidence interval: 8.4-13.5 months) 45% of patients had a relapse. In conclusion, 20 mg/day isotretinoin was rapidly efficient for reducing both inflammatory lesions and erythema in rosacea.
