You may have heard of it, but you probably didn’t realize that April is Rosacea Awareness Month.
You may be asking, “What exactly is Rosacea?”
Rosacea is a skin condition that causes inflammation and often results in facial redness. Many mistake redness, or bumps that may accompany it, for acne. Other signs of acne include dilated blood vessels, blemishes, and congestion.
The good news is that by following these tips, you can avoid flare-ups and have your skin free of redness in no time.
- Avoid alcohol
Consider beauty products that contain alcohol, as well as the alcoholic beverages we all enjoy from time to time. Unfortunately, a glass or two of wine can exacerbate the redness that Rosacea causes. - Be careful what you eat.
Some foods can cause you to flush or heat up. Avoid or reduce the intake of oranges, strawberries, and cashews. Also, spicy and hot curries should be avoided! - Consume a diet high in essential fatty acids and multi-vitamins
Foods rich in vitamins A & C, such as broccoli and sweet potatoes, carrots, and leafy greens, help to strengthen the skin. Salmon, almonds, and eggs, which are high in fatty acid, help produce the natural oil barrier of the skin, essential for keeping it hydrated, plumper, and younger-looking while protecting it against environmental irritants. - Avoid strenuous exercises

- Avoid slathering on makeup.
Layering makeup can exacerbate symptoms. Select multi-tasking foundations, color correctors, and breathable powders to keep your skin calm and covered without feeling clogged. Try mineral makeup. You won’t be disappointed. - Your best skincare friend is the right skincare.
