Rosacea mainly affects middle-aged people, and those with light skin are more likely to develop the disease. In addition to the physical symptoms, rosacea can also affect the quality of life, as many people experience social anxiety or self-esteem problems as a result of the skin's appearance. Although there is no cure for rosacea, symptoms can be alleviated with proper skin care and lifestyle adjustments. Here are five tips that can help you manage rosacea and reduce breakouts.
The sun's UV rays are one of the most common causes of rosacea breakouts. To protect your skin, avoid excessive tanning and always use a sunscreen with a high SPF that is suitable for sensitive skin. In addition to sun, extreme cold, wind and high humidity can also worsen your symptoms. Therefore, be careful to protect your face with, for example, a shawl or hat when you are out in the cold.
Washing your face to remove makeup and impurities is of course important, but over-cleansing can damage your skin barrier and worsen rosacea. Ideally, wash your face only once a day (in the evening) and use mild, perfume-free products that are gentle on the skin. Avoid strong soaps and detergents that can further irritate the skin. Avoid using exfoliating products or beauty treatments that may be too aggressive for sensitive skin.
Food and drink play an important role in how your skin reacts. Strong foods, alcohol and hot drinks such as coffee and tea are known to aggravate rosacea in many people. Keeping a food diary can be a good way to identify which foods affect your skin negatively, so you can avoid them and thus reduce the risk of breakouts.
Stress is a well-known trigger of rosacea. Periods of high psychological stress can lead to increased symptoms. Therefore, it is important to find ways to manage stress, such as meditation, yoga, social activities or regular exercise. By taking care of your mental well-being, you can also reduce your skin problems.
A weakened skin barrier is often a contributing factor to rosacea symptoms. Choose moisturizers that are soothing and support the skin's natural barrier function. It is important to avoid creams with irritating ingredients such as perfume, dyes and strong preservatives. By using the right moisturizer, you can protect and moisturize the skin, which reduces the risk of irritation and redness.
By following these five tips, you can reduce your rosacea symptoms and give your skin the best conditions to feel better. Remember that rosacea is individual, and if your symptoms are severe, consult a dermatologist for more personalized advice and treatments.
How to treat rosacea?
Treatments with medicines that reduce redness, eg Mirvaso, which contains brimonidine. These treatments reduce the blood supply to the skin, so that the skin does not redden as much.
Azelaic acid is an effective treatment against rosacea as it reduces the overproduction of the peptide cathelicidin, which in excess causes inflammation, redness and irritation in the skin. Azelaic acid is, for example, the main ingredient in some prescription creams, such as Finacea, which contains 15% azelaic acid.
Antibiotics such as metronidazole and tetracyclines. It is not known exactly why antibiotics affect rosacea, but one possible explanation is that antibiotics kill bacterial growth in the skin that could potentially be caused by mite feces. The drug Soolantra is one of the newer treatments for rosacea.
