Did you know? Sun exposure was named a top trigger for rosacea flare-ups 

Sun exposure is a prevalent trigger for rosacea flare-ups. Ultraviolet (UV) rays have the potential to exacerbate rosacea symptoms, particularly redness on the cheeks and accelerate the development of visible blood vessels.

People with rosacea commonly report feelings of stinging and burning on their face and eyes following the use of certain creams and sunscreens. It is believed that certain preservatives and fragrances found in these products may be the cause of a rosacea flare-up.

It is crucial for individuals with rosacea to select sunscreens containing adequate UV protection and gentle, non-irritating ingredients.

A formula designed for sensitive skin, such as a mineral or physical sunscreen, can help reduce the possibility of irritation as they don't contain chemicals.

Inflammatory skin conditions like Rosacea present an increased risk of collagen breakdown, making it crucial to prioritize protecting the skin. Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen that not only moisturises but also offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support is also highly recommended.

Some other options include a tinted sunscreen to help visually correct redness and even out skin tone.
