Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects more than 415M people, and is still poorly understood by most people. This disease can manifest itself in different ways and degrees of severity, but it usually presents with redness of the face, dilation of blood vessels, pustules and papules. Rosacea can affect people of all ages, but is most common in light-skinned individuals over 30.
Although there is no single cause for the onset of rosacea, it is known that several factors may contribute to its onset or worsening. These include prolonged sun exposure, use of inappropriate cosmetics and cleansing products, hormonal changes, alcohol consumption, spicy foods, stress, and genetic predisposition.
Although rosacea can be uncomfortable and embarrassing, there are several ways to control it and minimize its symptoms.
There are several treatment options for rosacea, among which are:
- Topical medications;
- Antibiotics;
- Laser and intense pulsed light;
- Avoidance of triggering factors, such as sun exposure, spicy foods and alcoholic beverages;
- Skin care: keep skin clean and moisturized, avoid irritating cleansers and cosmetics, and use sunscreen daily.
Although rosacea has no cure, it is possible to control its symptoms and improve the appearance of the skin. Early diagnosis can help prevent the progression of the condition and reduce its impacts on the quality of life and self-esteem of the person suffering from this chronic condition.
Following on from this and as already mentioned, one of the factors that can trigger or lead to the worsening of this condition is sun exposure and the use of inappropriate cosmetics for this type of skin.
In response to this need, ISDIN launched this year the product FOTOULTRA REDNESS. This sunscreen is specifically indicated for all people who suffer from sensitive skin prone to redness.
