ROSACEA AWARENESS MONTH

Skin irritations and redness combine to create one of the most common skin concerns. The redness is often caused by the skin condition, rosacea. Around 10% of adults experience some kind of rosacea throughout their life and it can cause sufferers to feel self-conscious about their skin and appearance. Rosacea is categorized into three grades: mild, moderate, and severe. Although many people report flushing as the first sign of the condition, other signs include red spots and dry skin.

Understanding rosacea and the factors that trigger it can help you to reduce flare-ups. It might start as slight flushing when going from the cold outside to inside in the warm or even runny bloodshot eyes.

 

Several factors combine to sensitise the skin. This may include irritation from skincare ingredients including Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), alcohol, oxybenzone found in sunscreen, and overuse of exfoliating acids.

While sun exposure and UV radiation may reduce hormonal acne, the opposite may be true with rosacea, this is especially noticeable in fair skin. A compromised digestive system can cause the overgrowth of a mite called Demodex, which produce an enzyme that causes flushing and red bumps. Add into the mix humidity, heat, alcohol, emotional stress, and/or spicy foods, and the result is rosacea.

Luckily, there are ways to calm the skin and eliminate redness. Skincare is an important factor, avoid harsh cleansers and over-aggressive scrubs. Protecting your skin from harsh elements in winter and ensuring that you wear a good SPF all year round will pay dividends.
