Finding The Right Sun Protection For Inflammatory Skin
Inflammatory Skin and the Importance of Sun Protection
Everybody needs to protect their skin from the sun but if you're struggling to control certain skin conditions like rosacea, pigmentation & acne, it is particularly important to find the right sun protection product.
Rosacea & UV Exposure
Sun exposure is named as a top trigger for rosacea flare-ups, so using SPF is a must. Choose a mineral sunscreen instead of chemical sunscreens to avoid any chemicals that may irritate your skin.
