Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness of the face. Rosacea causes are still unknown, but it is likely to be related to abnormalities in the blood vessels of the face which react to microscopic bacteria found on the face and cause the redness. Research has shown us that there are common triggers of rosacea that can make the symptoms worse which include stress, hot drinks, alcohol or caffeine, spicy foods and continuous exposure to sunlight. These triggers will vary depending on each person but could be a good place to start reducing the flushing redness.

Do you suffer from the following?

-Flushing: Your face turns red and feels hot and itchy lasting few minutes

-Persistent redness: patches od redness that won’t go away often on cheeks, nose and chin

-Visible blood vessels

– Bumps and pimples
