While the exact cause of the condition is unknown, it’s generally attributed to poor circulation, genetic predisposition, digestive disorders, a sluggish lymphatic system, and bacteria and mites attached to cells (eep!).
There is currently no cure, and while it can be notoriously hard to treat, there are many ways you can keep symptoms at bay. Don’t suffer in silence for a moment longer.
Keep reading for the best rosacea skincare tips and products to nip redness in the butt and tame the facial flush as best as possible.
TIP #1: Limit triggers
Sun exposure, extreme temperatures, hot showers, spicy foods, caffeine, alcohol, artificial fragrances and synthetics found in products, chemical sunscreens and exfoliants not to mention cigarettes are also often to blame for rosacea.
Limiting or avoiding exposure to these triggers as much as possible is helpful. For dire conditions, Bioderma Sensibio AR Anti-Redness Care ($42.99) will moisturise and soothe sensitive skin types, and eliminate itchiness.
