WHAT IS ROSACE?
Rosacea is most commonly associated with redness in the face. Fair-skinned people from Northern Europe are most susceptible to rosacea, but it can develop in people of Asian and African descent. Although rosacea affects more women than men, men’s symptoms tend to be more severe. Some people go on to develop rhinophyma, a condition that causes the nose to become red and bulbous.
Facial redness is one of the primary features of rosacea. As the condition develops, the central part of the face becomes a darker shade of red and the skin can feel lumpy. Other symptoms include burning or stinging in the face, dilated blood vessels that are visible and obvious, bumps, spots, pustules, painful swelling and infection in and around the eyes, dryness and sensitivity to light.

FAQs
Although no one knows what causes rosacea, it can be triggered by exposure to the sun, stress, exercise, heat, or cold. Dietary triggers include hot, caffeinated, or alcoholic drinks and spicy foods.
Wearing makeup can improve how your skin looks, helping to boost your self-confidence. Some ingredients are more likely to aggravate your skin but using a green-tinted base can help to correct any redness. Make sure it has good UVA and UVB protection. When choosing foundation and concealer, opt for gentle, antibacterial, and oil-free formulas when possible, and it can help to use an antibacterial foundation brush rather than a sponge, which can be harsher on the skin.
Although there isn’t a cure for rosacea, several treatments can control your symptoms. Treatment is
likely to be long-term, although there may be times when your skin improves, and you can stop
treatment for a while.
Rosacea can’t be prevented, but you can avoid your triggers, which helps reduce the likelihood of a flare-up. You can, for example, wear a high SPF sunscreen and a hat on sunny days, reduce your stress, avoid overheating, and cut back on alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods if these trigger your rosacea.
