How exactly does rosacea develop? What is the best way to care for sensitive skin with rosacea? Which products should you use or not use? What is the role of nutrition, and which
treatments are available? I will list it all clearly for you.

What is rosacea?

Rosacea is a skin condition in which the skin, especially on the face, is sensitive and quickly becomes red. It is common in women and usually starts after the age of thirty. The symptoms
vary from redness and visible blood vessels to bumps, swelling and sometimes dry, red eyes. With rosacea, there are several types of skin complaints possible, such as a burning sensation, dryness and edema.

What is the difference between rosacea and couperose?

Couperose is caused by permanently dilated blood vessels in the face. With rosacea you often see the same vessels, but with additional symptoms such as bumps, swelling and sensitive skin.
This makes rosacea a broader condition.

Treatments and skin care

For people with rosacea, a mild, daily skin care is important. Cleanse your skin gently, avoid aggressive scrubs and protect your skin from the sun. Soothing ingredients
