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.

Common Symptoms of Rosacea and Sensitive Skin

The sudden onset of red flushes that can be triggered by things like heat, cold, exercise, or spicy foods that will slowly cool and fade away.
Persistent redness on the face, especially on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead, that sticks around and is not likely to fade.
Pimple-like bumps and pustules may appear across the cheeks and nose.
Small blood vessels on the face may become visible, especially on the cheeks and nose.

Sensations of burning, stinging, or itching may be felt on the face.
Sensitive skin can be prone to dryness and may feel tight or itchy.
Skin may become easily irritated by skincare products or environmental factors.
Swelling and puffiness may occur, especially around the eyes.

What Our Amazing Clients Are Saying

I was struggling with really bad skin for as long as I can remember and had been treated by multiple other beauticians. It wasn't until I found Andrea that my skin completely transformed in such a short amount of time. Andrea takes the time to explain every step of what she is doing and how it will assist my skin. I’m so grateful that with Andreas help I have been able to gain my confidence back in my skin. I no longer feel the need to wear makeup on the daily and continue to get compliments on how clear my skin is from what it was. I'm beyond happy with the results and have recommended The Skin Manifesto to many friends, family and colleagues.

I was struggling with really bad skin and just after one visit to The Skin Manifesto I left feeling so much better. Andrea took so much time with me, explained every step of what she was doing and how it would assist my skin. I left with glowing skin and a great skin routine that has really helped stabilize my skin. I can't wait for my next visit to The Skin Manifesto!

My skin is finally looking the clearest it has been in years. I have switched to the products stocked by The Skin Manifesto and I haven't had a breakout since first starting which is around 6 months ago.. Also had a few treatments which have helped to brighten my skin & it definitely is starting to look more refined.
Highly recommended. Treatments are tailored and Andrea is so knowledgeable about how to improve your skin.

I recently had an LED light therapy and bio sonic treatment on my very sad, tired and dull skin. Immediately following treatment my skin felt smoother, more supple and my makeup glided on my skin like porcelain! After a few minor breakouts initially (my skin cleansing out) my skin is without doubt in the best condition it has been in years. For the first time in forever, i have not worn makeup in public (eek!) and my skin has a really beautiful and healthy glow! I will definitely be back for more treatments. I would highly recommend Skin Manifesto to anyone! Thanks so much ladies! Xx

Really loved the high quality service and professionalism at this beautiful skin clinic. I booked in for a laser facial and microdermabrasion and 1 week later I'm extremely happy with the results.
Thank you so much to the nurses at The Skin Manifesto.
I will be back!

I have enjoyed many treatments over the past 6 months at The Skin Manifesto.
I'm constantly getting compliments on how my skin now looks. I have a darker skin type and I appreciate how Andrea took the time to sit with me and go through a whole range of options to improve my skin.
I'm really happy with the results and have recommend this skin clinic to friends and family.

The Skin Manifesto is a contemporary, clean, modern and peaceful sanctuary. As you walk through the doors you are always greeted with Andreas beautiful smile where you feel at ease and in safe hands. I am very self conscious and have always had troublesome skin but at TSM I leave feeling refreshed and knowing my skin will only look better each time. Andrea takes the time to really focus on my specific issues and explains each process to me. She is professional, informative and a true specialist in her field - Andrea has made my skin feel the best it has been in years and I always look forward to my next appointment!!!

I cannot recommend Andrea and the Skin Maifesto more highly! I have been seeing Andrea for almost a year now to treat my breakouts. After trying a few different places, I felt like this was just the way my skin was going to be forever. I am so thankful that I found Andrea. I no longer get big breakouts and my skin is the clearest it has ever been.

I have been seeing beautiful Andrea for years and I honestly can't thank her enough for the way she has transformed my skin. I struggled for over 10 years with all sorts of skin problems seeing multiple dermatologists, constantly being prescribed antibiotics and endless different skincare. I spent hours and hours researching skin problems for years and was blessed to find The Skin Manifesto. I booked a consultation with Andrea and have never looked back. She is the most passionate, knowledgeable and professional skin therapist I have ever dealt with. I never dreamed that I could possibly have skin looking the way I do today. Forever grateful and thankful for my little skin angle Andrea x

I highly recommend The Skin Manifesto to anyone wanting expert advice and service. After having skin treatments for the last 12 months with Andrea I am thrilled with the results. I now have skin that I never thought was possible. Andrea is extremely caring, generous and very much appreciated by your clients. Wishing you every success for the future.

I honestly didn’t expect my skin to improve as much as it has. With years of sun damage and normal ageing I thought my options were limited but Andrea has somehow ‘turned back the clock’! I’ve never had so many compliments on my skin and am thrilled with how glowing and healthy it is. I don’t even need makeup most days now. I’d recommend The Skin Manifesto to anyone wanting to improve the quality of their skin.
