Why people develop rosacea is still a mystery, but we do know that women and people with light skin are more affected – however – the symptoms are worse in men.
Although it is not known why rosacea occurs, there are many triggers that are thought to dilate the blood vessels that encourage a flare of redness. These triggers are: alcohol, spicy food, cheese, caffeine, hot drinks and aerobic exercise like running. The weather and skincare products are also known to bring out rosacea too.
The best advice for managing rosacea is to identify your own triggers and prepare, and protect yourself from facing them. Wearing a high SPF daily is essential and opting for a skincare regime that promotes a stronger skin barrier is fundamental. Antioxidants, B5 vitamins, TRP-Regulin, niacinamide and glycerine are skincare ingredients to look for!
