If you have rosacea, you\u2019ll know how easily it can flare up, especially when the seasons change. When the cold weather comes, your skin barrier \u2014 which keeps moisture locked in and protects your skin from pollutants \u2014 can be disrupted. This will make you more sensitive to the things that trigger your rosacea. <\/p>\n

We\u2019re here to help you with any new challenges your skin is facing now winter\u2019s here. In this guide, you\u2019ll get to know the most common rosacea triggers during the colder months, and find out how to deal with flare-ups from our dermatology experts.<\/p>\n

Sun exposure<\/strong><\/p>\n

UV radiation is a well-known rosacea trigger because it can cause an inflammatory response in your skin. Sun exposure isn\u2019t just a summer problem, though \u2014 there are still sunny, high-UV days in winter, even when it\u2019s not hot. <\/p>\n

Our derm\u2019s tip\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cApply at least SPF 30 daily, and top it up regularly \u2014 especially if you\u2019re out in snow, which can reflect the sun\u2019s rays.\u201d<\/p>\n

Your skincare routine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some skincare ingredients can increase your rosacea symptoms, no matter what time of year it is. AHAs and BHAs \u2014 including glycolic, lactic and salicylic acid \u2014 as well as alcohol, sodium lauryl sulphate and some retinoids can cause irritation and trigger a flare-up.<\/p>\n

Our derm\u2019s tip\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you find something that\u2019s working for you, don\u2019t feel like you have to change it. Stick to your usual routine, use plenty of moisturiser if you need to combat dryness and cut out any active ingredients that are too harsh. To learn more about getting the most from your skincare in winter, check out our blog post<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heat<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heat is surprisingly easy to come by in winter \u2014 think central heating, electric blankets, hot baths and nights by the fire. When you\u2019re too warm, your blood flow increases, which can cause facial flushing.<\/p>\n

Our derm\u2019s tip\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAim to be warm, rather than hot. Wash in tepid water as much as possible because having very hot showers or baths can irritate the skin and trigger rosacea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dryness<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s less moisture in the air in winter which, combined with big temperature changes and central heating, makes your skin much drier. Dry skin is more sensitive, so it\u2019s more likely to become irritated and flare up. <\/p>\n

Our derm\u2019s tip\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cLow humidity leads to sensitive, dry skin in winter. Moisturise regularly with a gentle formula that won\u2019t cause inflammation, and try applying it when your skin is damp.\u201d<\/p>\n

Food and drink<\/strong><\/p>\n

Winter celebrations mean you\u2019ll probably be enjoying festive food and drinks over the period, a lot of which can trigger a flare-up. Aged cheeses and processed meats are popular at this time of year, but there\u2019s some evidence that they can trigger inflammation because they\u2019re rich in histamine. Chocolate, spicy foods and alcohol are common triggers, too.<\/p>\n

Our derm\u2019s tip\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry \u2014 we\u2019re not about to tell you to cut out all rich foods over the holidays. But if you know eating certain things or drinking alcohol flares up your rosacea, it\u2019s a good idea to enjoy them in moderation to keep your skin comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winter is a tough time for anyone\u2019s skin, but it can be especially challenging when you have rosacea. If you\u2019re on a rosacea custom formula, and you feel like your progress is slowing down in winter, don\u2019t worry \u2013 that\u2019s not necessarily the case. Your skin may just be affected by changes in your environment. Just remember to focus on the triggers you can control while still having a fun holiday season. Make any small changes you can to keep your skin comfortable, and, as always, keep your routine simple and consistent for the best results. <\/p>\n
