Rosacea is a common yet often misunderstood skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Characterised by persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps, rosacea can be frustrating to manage. While its exact cause remains unknown, triggers such as sun exposure, stress, spicy foods, and certain skincare products can worsen symptoms.

April is Rosacea Awareness Month, a time dedicated to educating and empowering those affected by this condition. If you experience rosacea, know that you are not alone—and there are ways to soothe and protect your skin.

How to Care for Rosacea-Prone Skin

1. Know Your Triggers – Rosacea flare-ups can be caused by various factors, including heat, alcohol, spicy foods, and stress. Keeping a diary of your symptoms can help you identify patterns and avoid common triggers.
2. Be Gentle with Your Skin – Harsh scrubs, strong exfoliants, and fragranced products can irritate sensitive skin. Opt for mild, fragrance-free cleansers and apply products with a light touch.
3. Sun Protection is Key – UV exposure is a major trigger for rosacea. Use a mineral-based sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, and wear a hat or seek shade when outdoors.
4. Hydrate and Soothe – Look for moisturisers with calming ingredients like niacinamide, ceramides, and aloe vera to help strengthen your skin barrier and reduce redness.
5. Stay Cool – Heat can worsen rosacea symptoms, so try to avoid hot showers, saunas, and excessive sun exposure.

Recommended Products for Rosacea-Prone Skin

Choosing the right skincare products can make a significant difference in managing rosacea. Here are some gentle options:

• Cleanser – A sulfate-free, fragrance-free cleanser that won’t strip your skin.
• Moisturizer – Look for formulas with chamomile, green tea extract, or feverfew to calm inflammation.
• Sunscreen – A mineral sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher to protect your skin daily.
• Anti-Redness Serum – Products containing licorice root or azelaic acid can help reduce redness and irritation.
