Rosacea is a common skincare problem, but it can feel like a challenge to deal with. As with any skin condition, it can upset those with it. Here, skincare brand Pevonia, explains what rosacea is and how to help.
What is rosacea?
Rosacea is a common skin condition but it still isn’t very well understood. It affects mainly the face where initially, symptoms begin with facial flushing. People with rosacea may also notice spots and persistent redness within their skin. Small blood vessels in the skin can become visible, and in the most severe cases the skin can thicken and enlarge, usually on and around the nose and the eyes can become watery and/or irritated.
Can rosacea be treated?
There is no cure for rosacea, but a range of treatments are available that can help to control the symptoms of the condition. With regular treatments along with the use of home care products, the condition can be more easily controlled.
Are there any lifestyle factors that can help with rosacea?
Lifestyle changes can be considered as there can be many triggers that can exacerbate rosacea symptoms. These include hormonal changes, venous pressure, nervous disorders, stress, climate changes (using extreme water temperatures), excess alcohol intake, consuming hot and spicy foods, exposure to extreme external factors such as heat, cold, wind and sun (continuous exposure to UVA/UVB rays).
