Your support makes all the difference.Rosacea is a more widespread skin condition than many people realise, and the most common symptoms are flushing skin, texture on the skin and irritation around the eyes. In some more severe cases, there might also be a thickening of the skin.
If you do have rosacea, a solid skincare routine is key to managing and soothing your symptoms and will normally include, a fragrance-free cleanser, hyaluronic acid serum, moisturiser and sun protection. At each step, look for calming and anti-inflammatory ingredients such as green tea and niacinamide.
