Marinated meats on the grill are popular in summer but can affect some rosacea sufferers. Try seasoning meats with mild spices or by adding smoked or mesquite wood chips to your fire. Also, before you fire up the grill, protect your face from the heat. Sip on a cold drink or chew on ice chips while you cook. Drinks on the patio don't have to be alcoholic, especially for rosacea sufferers, who have identified wine, hard liquor and beer as common rosacea triggers.
Sodas mixed with juice can also be a refreshing treat.
Here are tips for minimizing the impact of the changing seasons on your condition. Limit exposure to wind and cold. When spending more time outdoors, avoid windy or cold days, and cover your face with a scarf when necessary. Protect your face from the sun. Sun exposure aggravates rosacea in many individuals.
