ROSACEA AWARENESS MONTH - HOW SKINCARE CAN HELP MANAGE SYMPTOMS
April marks Rosacea Awareness Month, the perfect opportunity to discuss this common yet often misunderstood skin condition that affects millions worldwide. Whether you're dealing with persistent redness, visible blood vessels, or uncomfortable flare-ups, making informed skincare choices can make a significant difference! Here's everything you need to know about managing rosacea with effective skincare...
HOW DOES ROSACEA AFFECT THE SKIN?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes bumps or pustules. This condition can fluctuate between periods of flare-ups and remission, triggered by various environmental, lifestyle or hormonal factors. From uncomfortable flushing and burning sensations to changes in skin texture, rosacea symptoms can be both physically and emotionally challenging. Persistent inflammation can lead to a weakened skin barrier, making the skin more sensitive to irritants and environmental stressors.
Other common triggers include temperature changes and stress which can cause sudden flare-ups of intense redness, discomfort and trigger inflammation. Try to avoid things such as hot showers, hot radiators and excessive sweating, instead opt for keeping cool and using cool compresses on the skin.
CHOOSE GENTLE, TARGETED FORMULATIONS
Have a look at the skincare products you're already using, harsh chemicals, fragrances, or alcohol can dramatically worsen rosacea symptoms and damage your skin's already compromised barrier. Making the switch to gentle, minimal-ingredient formulations specifically designed for sensitive, reactive skin can help maintain balance while addressing inflammation at its source.
