Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes pimples or pustules, primarily affecting the face. It can be challenging to manage, but with the right treatments and skincare routine, rosacea flare-ups can be minimised, and the condition can be effectively controlled.
Understanding Rosacea
Rosacea is a common condition that results in persistent facial redness, often around the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. In addition to redness, rosacea can cause visible blood vessels, bumps, and pustules on the skin. Rosacea can be triggered by various factors, including stress, hot drinks, spicy foods, sun exposure, and temperature extremes.
Signs of Rosacea:
Persistent Redness: Rosacea often appears as persistent redness, particularly on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead.
Visible Blood Vessels: Small, broken blood vessels can become more noticeable on the face.
Pimples or Bumps: Red bumps, pustules, or acne-like breakouts can develop.
Burning Sensation: A burning or stinging sensation may accompany rosacea flare-ups.
Flare-Ups: Rosacea symptoms can flare up and worsen periodically, especially after exposure to known triggers.
Why Professional Skincare is Important
When managing rosacea, it’s essential to focus on treatments that calm inflammation, reduce redness, and avoid irritating the skin. Harsh treatments or products can worsen the condition, so it’s crucial to use gentle, soothing therapies. At Novum Skin & Wellness, we offer treatments tailored to control rosacea symptoms and prevent flare-ups.

Skincare Tips for Rosacea
Skincare Tips for Rosacea
Avoid Triggers: Identify and avoid triggers that can worsen rosacea, such as spicy foods, hot drinks, stress, and sun exposure.
Use Soothing Products: Choose gentle, calming skincare products formulated specifically for rosacea-prone skin. Avoid harsh exfoliants or products with alcohol or fragrance.
Wear Sunscreen: Sun exposure is one of the biggest triggers for rosacea flare-ups. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 daily.
Avoid Hot Water: Hot water can increase redness and irritation. Wash your face with lukewarm water and use mild, non-irritating cleansers.
Hydrate: Keeping your skin well-hydrated is essential to managing rosacea. Use a gentle moisturiser to lock in moisture and protect the skin barrier.
