Rosacea is marked by red, inflamed skin.

The irritation from rosacea most often occurs on the cheeks and nose.
Some people may not even know they have rosaceasince it can get better at times.
It often flares up during emotional stress or when exposed to the sun’s rays for too long.
Consequently, there are certain skincare ingredients you should do your best to avoid.
Any products with fragrances can also disturb sensitive rosacea skin.
Menthol, camphor, and urea are other ingredients to avoid.
“Use skincare that is fragrance-free and minimalistic.
Next, give a shot to identify what causes flares for you as triggers will be individual and varied.
“Stress, alcohol, exercise, exposure to UV light and certain medicines can also exacerbate rosacea.”
