Q. What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a skin condition as misunderstood as sensitive skin, and as frequently misdiagnosed. In its early stages, Rosacea exhibits the same symptoms as skin sensitisation - redness, blushing and tightness - as well as the same trigger factors. However, the similarity ends there. A disorder of the facial blood vessels, Rosacea is a progressive inflammatory disorder that, when untreated, develops additional complications that include burst capillaries, facial swelling and spots on the face that look like acne breakouts, causing people to confuse Rosacea with acne.
Fortunately, Rosacea is manageable. Avoiding trigger factors is critical, as a Rosacea attack begins the same way skin sensitisation does. For milder Rosacea, we recommend Dermalogica's sensitised skin care routine of Environmental Control products. There are also an increasing number of prescription medications recommended by your dermatologist that can halt the progression of this disorder.
