Generally caused by a genetic disposition, rosacea can be triggered by a number of factors including UV radiation and weak skin immunity. The defining characteristics of rosacea include redness, pink spots that contain pus and visible blood vessels, all of which are usually observed in the centre of the face. Rosacea can manifest differently in each person, so an individual can exhibit varying combinations of symptoms or maybe just the one.
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition, and can be triggered by many factors from sun exposure and red wine, to spicy foods and citrus fruits or even exercise. However, with the right skincare routine and being conscious of your triggers, you can help in managing your rosacea.
Finding the right products that won’t trigger or inflame your rosacea can be complicated. “A good starting point is to strengthen and repair the skin’s barrier function as this is often heavily impaired,’’ says Dr Charakida.
