Rosacea Awareness Month: How to Calm Redness, Flushing and Sensitive Skin for Good

Transcript

Hi, I'm Simone. I'm the senior therapist here at WellFace and let's talk a little bit about rosacea. Rosacea is an inflammatory skin condition and it usually displays in two different ways.

It either comes in the inflammatory side of things, which can be with bumps and papules and pustules, or the vascular side of things, which you might see as flushing, redness, sensitivity, broken vessels on the skin. Some really common triggers of rosacea can be alcohol, spicy food, the sun, rosacea really doesn't like UV, and also acids like really active skincare on the skin and overuse of exfoliation. Barrier repair is really key in treating rosacea because rosacea is an inflammatory disease and in order to keep all of those nasty symptoms at bay, like inflammation, flushing, sensitivity, we need to maintain a really healthy barrier.

If you're experiencing any symptoms of rosacea, then your first port of call will be to come into clinic and do a full skin consultation with us where we'll put together a tailored routine for you. Some of my essential products when tailoring a routine are a skin barrier recovery cream, I love Obagi Rebalance, and also a mineral SPF. Chemical SPFs can be really irritating for rosacea.

After your skin consultation, some of my favourite device-led treatments that I use for rosacea are LED light therapy and also BBL. BBL is one of my favourite treatments in order to treat the vascular side of things, so helping with that diffuse redness, any broken capillaries and flushing. If you're experiencing any issues with rosacea, then please come into clinic and have a full skin consultation with us and we'll be more than happy to help you.
