Hot flushes, rosey cheeks, reactive skin, visible capillaries…..do you have skin like this? You may have rosacea. People that suffer with rosacea or have a lot of redness in their skin often feel insecure about their complexion. The great news is that it’s a treatable condition. Rosacea is more common in fair skins, and it can present as redness/ visible capillaries across the face. It flares when people drink alcohol, get hot/ have UV exposure, spend a lot of time in cold windy conditions or eat spicy foods. It’s sometimes associated with sore lumps called papules, known as acne rosacea. Other people just have a predisposition to constant redness in their skin, and they may or may not consider their skin to be sensitive to products.

We always start with high quality, soothing but active cosmeceuticals for your homecare.
