Rosacea and Sensitive Skin
Rosacea and sensitive skin are a duo that demand TLC like a diva demands a dressing room.
What is Rosacea?
Rosacea, also known as "red face syndrome," is like having a sunburn that never goes away but without the fun of spending a day at the beach. It's a chronic skin condition that causes redness, flushing, and sometimes even bumps and pimples, especially on the nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead. It can feel like your skin is in a constant state of embarrassment, but you don't even know what it did wrong.
What is Sensitive Skin?
Sensitive skin, like every drama queen, can be high maintenance, requiring special regard and always reacting to something and causing a scene. It's the skin type that's easily irritated, often itchy, prone to rashes, sometimes very painful and insistent on demanding immediate attention.
What Causes Rosacea and Sensitive Skin?
While the exact cause of Rosacea isn't fully understood, there are a few factors that can contribute to its development and flare-ups. Genetics play a role but so do environmental factors like sun exposure, weather, and stress. And let's not forget everyone's favourite culprits - alcohol and spicy foods. So if you're prone to flushing and redness, it's time to take a good look at your lifestyle, gut and under your skin’s surface to see what might be causing your Rosacea to rear its rosy head.
Sensitive skin is like a picky eater - it's got a laundry list of things it just can't handle. But unlike a picky eater, it's not just a matter of taste. Sensitive skin can be caused by a range of factors, including genetics, environmental factors, and even stress. Skincare products can also be a culprit - what works for some might cause irritation and redness in others. And let's not forget everyone's favourite seasonal hazards such as the cold, dry air of winter, or windy autumn days.
