Rosacea is a skin condition that is complex enough to identify and treat.

This chronic inflammatory disease affects mostly women (60 to 70% of cases) and appears around the age of 25-30 years.

How to recognize rosacea?

The most common signs of rosacea can be transient or permanent.

Depending on the case, dry, sensitive skin, a sensation of warming, diffuse redness on the face (erythema), small vessels visible on the nose and cheeks (rosacea) and red pimples - sometimes with "heads" white. "

In no case, these symptoms are to be taken lightly, otherwise they will settle permanently. It is therefore necessary to consult a specialist, especially when these signals come back frequently.

What are the causes of rosacea?

Generally, people with fair skin are more prone and unfortunately we do not know the exact origin of this condition.

On the other hand, several triggering factors have been identified: changes or extreme weather conditions (alternation between hot and cold accelerates cutaneous microcirculation), too prolonged with UV or certain allergens, hormonal changes, corticosteroids.

Strong emotions and stress are also a likely cause of rosacea, as is the excessive consumption of coffee, alcohol or spices.

Finally, the hereditary factor and skin aging are not to be discarded.

How to treat rosacea daily?

On a daily basis, dermatologists recommend adapting the skincare routine.

It cleans thoroughly, with a product without micellar water type rinse and it is prohibited cleaning with water. A moisturizing anti-redness treatment is applied daily (morning and evening) to help strengthen the walls of fragile vessels, fortify the skin and protect it from external factors.

Thermal water is also recommended for these more than sensitive skin. It moisturizes, soothes and repairs both the skin barrier, the immune barrier (to soothe irritation) and the vascular barrier (to strengthen the vessels). A simple spraying can sometimes be enough to soothe a skin that pulls and itches.

In case of severe rosacea, a dermatologist may also prescribe antibiotics to apply locally and, if the problem of redness is persistent, offer a laser treatment.

Finally, it is possible to reduce the redness thanks to some specific makeup products: a base of complexion of green color (to neutralize the redness), a moisturizing foundation (type cushion cream) or a CC cream is ideal for correcting the color irregularities , hide imperfections and smooth the complexion.
