Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting more than 415 million people worldwide, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood skin concerns. Typically appearing after the age of 30, rosacea shows up differently for everyone. Common signs include persistent facial redness across the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead, visible capillaries and a tendency to flush easily. Some experience red bumps or pustules often mistaken for acne, thickened skin around the nose or even ocular symptoms such as dryness and irritation. Triggers range from sun exposure and emotional stress to hot drinks, spicy foods and alcohol. And while it can affect all skin types, it’s reported to be more frequently diagnosed in fair skins and women, though men may experience more pronounced symptoms. Understanding your skin is the first step to calming it with the right products. If you’re unsure and need professional guidance visit a Skin Expert in-clinic or book an online consultation.
