Identify your personal triggersRosacea triggers vary from person to person and may include alcohol, spicy foods, sun exposure, extreme cold, stress, intense physical activity, certain cosmetics, or medications. Pay close attention to how your skin reacts in different situations, so you can identify and avoid (or minimise) the triggers that affect you most.2. Follow a skincare routine tailored to redness-prone skinUsing dermo-cosmetic products specially formulated for skin prone to redness can help limit flare-ups. Incorporating a daily anti-redness moisturiser will support the skin’s barrier function and help reduce visible redness over time.3. Manage stressActivities that support mental wellbeing such as meditation, yoga, breathing exercises, and regular physical activity can help reduce stress-related flare-ups. Speaking with a loved one or healthcare professional can also ease anxiety and help prevent emotional strain linked to rosacea.4.
