Is it blush? Or is it Rosacea?

What is Rosacea?

Ever wondered why you’re always so red when it gets too hot? 

A simple blush wouldn’t hurt right! 

But Rosacea does.

It’s this certain redness in your skin that doesn’t immediately go away, it has this stinging sensation too. Yikes! 

 

It can be a very frustrating condition to live with as it’s not easily controlled and there’s no cure for it. Although there are ways that it can be managed, mostly through trial and error. But how will you know if you’re just blushing or it’s Rosacea? The best way is to visit your esthetician to know for sure. But here are some symptoms that you can look out for: 

 

  • A burning or stinging sensation

  • Redness to the skin that doesn’t go away within a short period of time

  • Noticeable blood vessels becoming visible in the skin.

It might not have a cure but effective, targeted  skincare will keep the condition under control. Skin with rosacea needs gentle but consistent care. Getting into a regular routine will really help you to manage the condition, and using the right products will help you to avoid flare ups or deterioration. 

 Make sure that you use a gentle cleanser every morning and evening. A soap-free cleanser with a neutral pH is best – steer clear of scented products and alcohol based cleansers and toners.

 Use skincare products that are designed for sensitive skin such as Diego dalla Palma Professional products from the Soothing collection.  Targeted ingredients such as urea, ectoine are used to keep your skin hydrated and reduce inflammation.

There are some therapeutic facial products and treatments specially formulated to help treat the symptoms of rosacea. Your esthetician will be happy to give you professional advice about products and treatments that will help you – so don’t be afraid to ask!
