It is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that usually affects the face and can often be mistakenly diagnosed as eczema or an allergic reaction. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rosy edge is more common in middle-aged women with fair skin. Specifically, the chances of developing the condition increase if: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You have fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You are a woman between 30-50 years old<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have family members with rosacea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You had severe acne in the past<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You smoke<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The symptoms that will &#8220;awaken&#8221; you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The symptoms of rosacea are usually temporary. They may appear for a few weeks, subside for a while and then return. These are:  <\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Facial redness.<\/strong> Rosacea usually causes persistent redness in the central part of the face. The small blood vessels in the nose and cheeks often become dilated and more visible. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Red bumps.<\/strong> Many people with rosacea also develop bumps on the face, which sometimes contain pus and resemble acne.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eye problems.<\/strong> Many patients with rosacea have dry and swollen eyes and eyelids. This condition is known as ocular rosacea. In some people, eye symptoms precede skin symptoms.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Swollen nose. Over time, rosacea can cause the skin on the nose to become enlarged. This occurs more often in men than in women.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6+1 ways to reduce redness<\/strong><br\/>Rosacea is a skin condition that affects everyone differently and it may take some time to learn how to manage it. The best way to avoid a flare-up is to consult your pharmacist, who will guide you on the products you should include in your daily skincare routine. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following tips are a good starting point to reduce redness in your skin:<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Apply sunscreen.<\/strong> Use a broad spectrum (blocks UVA and UVB rays) with SPF 30 or higher, every time you go out in the sun. Also wear a wide-brimmed hat that covers your face. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use gentle skincare products<\/strong>. Avoid cleansers and creams with alcohol or fragrance and prefer milder ingredients. After washing your face, pat your skin dry with gentle motions.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apply moisturizing cream morning and night.<\/strong> It is particularly useful in winter, as low temperatures and wind can dry out the skin. Ask your pharmacist or dermatologist to recommend the appropriate one for you. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Massage your face.<\/strong> Gently rub your skin with circular motions. Start from the center of the face and move outward and upward. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Take care of your eyes.<\/strong> If they are red and irritated use a gentle eyelid cleanser on a daily basis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Watch your eating habits.<\/strong> The Mediterranean diet seems to help some patients who suffer from rosacea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Relax.<\/strong> It is important to manage your emotions and not let the condition affect you. If you feel uncomfortable with your skin or think your self-esteem is being affected, you should consult your doctor. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rosacea: Symptoms, Risk Factors and 7 Practical Tips for Reducing Redness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1571,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[140],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-skin-care"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-skin-pharmacist.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-skin-pharmacist.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-skin-pharmacist.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-skin-pharmacist.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-skin-pharmacist.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1570"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/the-skin-pharmacist.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1570\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1572,"href":"https:\/\/the-skin-pharmacist.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1570\/revisions\/1572"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-skin-pharmacist.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-skin-pharmacist.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-skin-pharmacist.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-skin-pharmacist.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
