Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune factors. Triggers such as sun exposure, hot drinks, alcohol, spicy foods, and stress can cause flare-ups and redness.

Common signs include persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, flushing, and sometimes small bumps or pustules. If you experience frequent redness that doesn’t go away, a Skin Expert can help confirm the diagnosis.

While rosacea can’t be completely prevented, flare-ups can be minimised by avoiding known triggers, using daily SPF, gentle skincare, and protecting your skin from harsh weather conditions.
