Does your skin flush easily, remain red across the cheeks or nose, or feel hot, sensitive or uncomfortable?

Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that mainly affects the face. It can appear as occasional flushing, persistent redness, visible facial vessels, sensitivity or acne-like bumps. Symptoms may settle for a time and then become more noticeable during a flare-up.

Although rosacea cannot be permanently cured, the right support can help manage its symptoms, improve skin comfort and reduce the appearance of redness. This may include identifying personal triggers, using gentle skincare and choosing suitable professional or medical treatments.

As several skin conditions can look similar to rosacea, an accurate assessment is important. I cannot medically diagnose rosacea, but I can assess your skin, explain which cosmetic treatments may be suitable and recommend that you speak to your GP or dermatologist when medical advice is needed.
