If you’re someone who struggles with rosacea then you know that these winter months can be the worst. Redness, dry skin, stinging, and acne-like facial bumps are exacerbated by winter’s harsh air and temperatures, which leave you and your skin screaming for relief.
Some of the best ways to combat the effects of rosacea in the winter is to always remember to cover up with a hat, scarf, and protect your skin with sunscreen. In addition, dermatologists also recommend investing in laser treatments to fade redness and decrease the visibility of blood vessels; taking oral antibiotics or even applying topical rosacea medications to see an improvement in redness and ultimately soothe the skin.
But perhaps the easiest, and most cost-effective way to seek relief is by investing in a rosacea-safe skincare regimen. In order to do this, you’ll want to begin purchasing products that are free of fragrance, alcohol and other harsh ingredients.
