Prevention
Preventing rosacea can be difficult. If you have rosacea, there are several steps you can take to control the condition:
- Avoid things that may trigger flushing or blushing. This includes certain foods, alcohol, and exposure to the sun.
- Protect your skin from the sun. Use clothing, hats, or sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher.
- Exercise in a cool environment to avoid overheating.
-
Avoid anything that irritates your skin:
- Apply topical medications, moisturizers, and cosmetics very gently
- Use cleansers, moisturizers, cosmetics, and other toiletries that are gentle and alcohol-free
