Rosacea: Minimizing Flare-Ups

by Martha Fitzharris

Rosacea can be a very irritating skin condition if you let it. The key to keeping the condition in control is to avoid any unnecessary triggers that initiate flare-ups. Luckily, this is easier than it sounds if you simply follow these 5 flare-up avoidance lessons.

LESSON #1: FOOD AND DRINK TRIGGERS

According to research conducted by the National Rosacea Society, 52% of people with rosacea experience flare-ups because of alcohol, 45% because of spicy food, and 36% because of heated beverages.

Keeping a trigger journal is the best way to determine what food and beverages to avoid. If you want to have a drink, try and steer clear of beer and wine and instead choose a gin, vodka, or whisky mixed with water instead of soda or juice.

LESSON #2: WEATHER TRIGGERS

If you can, steer clear of humid, steamy conditions; control indoor temperatures by minimizing heating in winter and turning-up the air conditioning in summer; and keep your environment ventilated.

LESSON #3: SUN TRIGGERS

The National Rosacea Society believes sun exposure is the highest of all rosacea triggers, effecting approximately 81% of sufferers. For this reason, avoid all unnecessary sun exposure during the peak UV hours, keep your skin and face covered, and apply sunscreen.

LESSON #4: STRESS TRIGGERS

The National Rosacea Society has determined stress to be the second largest trigger. This is why it is imperative to maintain healthy sleep patterns and develop relaxation and stress management techniques that are right for you.

LESSON #5: HOUSECLEANING TRIGGERS

Doing work around the yard or cleaning the house is also a common trigger for flare-ups. If you wish to keep these triggers at bay, it is wise to pace yourself while engaging in such activities, avoid undertaking these tasks in humid conditions, and ensure you allow yourself to cool down if you find yourself overheating.
