Rosacea & Sensitised Skin
Redness · Flushing · Sensitivity · Inflammation · Irritation
< “Sensitive skin” is a commonly used phrase rather than a diagnosis. Although some people are naturally more reactive, many are actually experiencing sensitised skin, where the protective barrier has been disrupted. Over-exfoliation, unsuitable products, combining too many active ingredients and constantly changing routines can all overwhelm the skin. Conflicting advice and viral skincare trends can make this worse. Sensitised skin may feel tight, dry, itchy or hot, sting when products are applied and become red or reactive.
Rosacea is different. It is a chronic skin condition that can cause flushing, persistent redness, visible blood vessels, warmth and sometimes acne-like bumps. Unsuitable skincare does not cause rosacea, but it can aggravate symptoms and trigger flare-ups. Sensitised skin can often improve once its triggers are removed and the barrier is supported. Rosacea requires ongoing management. >
