What are some of the triggers of rosacea flare-ups?
For people who are prone to rosacea, flare-ups can be caused by a variety of factors, including diet, alcohol consumption, environment, and activity level. Severe weather conditions, including cold, windy climates or hot temperatures and exposure to sunlight can cause redness. In fact, heat from a variety of sources, such as a shower, sauna, hot kitchen or other hot environment can cause rosacea flare-ups. What recommendations would you give for cleansing, moisturising and make-up to a patient that has rosacea? For patients who have rosacea, we recommend gentle cleansing. Patients can still benefit from exfoliation, especially gentle exfoliation with salicylic acid. Moisturiser should be soothing and non-irritating so that it calms the redness as well as addressing the sensitivity that might accompany the condition. Non-irritating, oil-free make-up is best for people with rosacea. What else do you recommend to prevent/avoid further irritation? Redness and skin sensitivity can be caused
