Understanding Rosacea: A Self-Care Moment for Your Skin

If you’ve ever struggled with persistent redness, visible blood vessels, or flare-ups that seem to come out of nowhere, you’re not alone. You might be dealing with rosacea—a common but often misunderstood skin condition that affects people in different ways.

Whether you’ve been officially diagnosed or just suspect your skin is more sensitive than most, learning how to care for it is a beautiful act of self-care.

What Is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that typically shows up as redness on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. For some people, it can also include bumps, irritation, or eye sensitivity. While there’s no cure, there are ways to calm and support rosacea-prone skin with the right skincare approach.

Common Triggers

Everyone’s skin is unique, but these are some common rosacea triggers:

• Sun exposure
• Stress (another reason to prioritize self-care!)
• Spicy foods
• Alcohol
• Extreme weather (Colorado Springs, anyone?)
• Harsh or reactive skincare products

Recognizing your triggers is the first step toward helping your skin feel better.

How to Support Rosacea-Prone Skin

• Be gentle – Skip the scrubs and avoid harsh ingredients like alcohol and synthetic fragrance.
• Hydrate your skin – Look for calming, moisture-rich products with ingredients like niacinamide and ceramides.
• Wear SPF daily – Rosacea-prone skin is especially sensitive to UV rays.
• Simplify your routine – Sometimes less really is more.
• Track flare-ups – A simple journal can help you identify patterns and triggers.
