What It Rosacea & How To Soothe Your Skin

Mar 30, 2026 | Skin Care

Rosacea is a common, long-term inflammatory skin condition that mainly affects the face, typically the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. It often shows up as persistent redness, visible blood vessels and sometimes acne-like breakouts.

There are different types of rosacea. Some people experience flushing and thread veins, while others may develop skin redness, bumps, small pimples and large spots, acne, sensitivity, or even eye irritation. In more advanced cases, the skin particularly around the nose can become thickened and bulbous.

While rosacea is not a serious or life-threatening condition, it can be frustrating to manage. Ongoing redness and breakouts can take a toll on your confidence and for many people, it can feel emotionally challenging as well as physical.

 

What Triggers Rosacea?

Rosacea can typically be genetic and flare up for a number of reasons and understanding your triggers is key to managing it. Common triggers include:

  • Sun exposure
  • Environmental heat
  • Heat treatments; sauna & steam
  • Harsh skincare
  • Using the wrong skin care products
  • Stress
  • Alcohol, spicy foods, caffeine
  • Hormonal influences
  • Medications
  • Microbiome skin & gut imbalances
  • Poor lifestyle habits
  • Lack of sleep
