Recommended Lifestyle ChangesIt
is well known that a variety of 'triggers' can cause a Rosacea flare-up. Instigating
a number of lifestyle changes to avoid these triggers can greatly reduce the number
and severity of Rosacea flare-ups.
You'll find below a list of commonly
recommended lifestyle changes. It is important to find your personal triggers
and adjust your lifestyle accordingly to prevent aggravating the condition.
- Probably the most important change you can make
is to avoid exposure to the sun. If you must be exposed to the sun, use a non-irritating
sunscreen whenever possible.
- Extremes of heat or cold
is a common for many sufferers. Hot showers, baths and even warm rooms can cause
problems. Exposure to cold winds is also a trigger for many people.
- Food
and drinks can induce Rosacea symptoms and these should be avoided when necessary.
Common problem foods and drinks include spicy foods and dairy products. Hot drinks
can also trigger a Rosacea reaction and some sufferers should also avoid alcohol.
- Tobacco
products are stimulants and are not recommended. Smoking also damages blood vessels
which may worsen symptoms.
- Take care of your skin and
choose skin products carefully. Only very mild products without perfumes, colors,
alcohol and other additives should be used on your face.
- Avoid
stressful situations as this can trigger a Rosacea flare-up.
- Moderate,
rather than hard exercise may be preferable.
