Triggers For Rosacea - The Troublesome Trio
If you suffer from Rosacea, or you know someone who does, then take two minutes to read this short, informative article.
The information in it could be just what you need to finally get your Rosacea under control.
Three Triggers For Rosacea Extreme Temperatures Eighty percent of Rosacea sufferers are known to have suffered a Rosacea outbreak which they believe was triggered by extreme temperatures.
Both extremes of heat and of cold can be a trigger for Rosacea so you should make efforts to avoid both.
Be particularly of 'sneaky' heat sources, like baths and showers with very hot water or room heating which is set too high.
Also be careful when coming into a hot room from the outside on a frosty day as this is a huge contributor to Rosacea Flare ups.
Excessive Exercise Whilst for most people regular exercise is essential for a healthy lifestyle, for Rosacea sufferers it could have the opposite effect.
To much exercise or a very strenuous workout is known to be a trigger for Rosacea in around fifty-five percent of Rosacea patients.
This is probably because as the cardiovascular system works harder and faster it gives off lactic acid from the muscles which then leads to the bloods vessels, especially the blood vessels in the facial area to dilate.
Which then presents as the Red faced flushing that we all associate with Rosacea.
So, what should you do if you suffer from Rosacea and still want to work out? First of all you should examine your routine.
Instead of maintaining a long, hard exercise regime, you should split it into smaller chunks and allow your body to recover between each chunk.
In addition you should make sure that you stay well hydrated and only exercise in a cool environment.
Perhaps open the windows or maybe only work out in the evening or early morning when it is cooler.
Wind You are possibly not aware of the effects that a cold or bracing wind can have on a Rosacea patients, but fifty-two percent believe that wind is responsible for or a major contributing factor to their Rosacea flare ups.
A cold wind can cause the moisture to rapidly evaporate from the skin which in turn makes the skin dry and crack.
The tiny cracks can then allow bacteria to enter the body resulting in a severe inflammation.
Wind will also stimulate the blood vessels close to the surface of the skin to dilate.
The extra blood which then flows into these dilated vessels are what we notice as facial flushing.
So, whenever you need to venture outside on a windy day be sure to apply a good moisturizer and then cover as much exposed flesh as possible.
A scarf or a ski-mask make great wind buffers.
One of these common triggers for Rosacea could be the cause of your own Rosacea outbreaks, but armed with this information, you could be about to draw a line under your Rosacea forever.
