The calm before the concealer
While it’s not known exactly what causes rosacea – it has been linked with genetics, environmental factors, bacteria in the gut and the immune system – some triggers that can make it worse have been identified.
As the skin is a reactive mechanism, it can be affected by both internal and external factors. It is also key in protecting you from external aggressors such as the sun and pollution. Keeping it healthy can therefore be the difference between a happy complexion and an unwanted flare-up.
With sun damage and a weakened skin barrier thought to encourage irritants to enter the skin and free radical damage, which can intensify inflammation and cause the skin to flush, wearing a high protection, broad-spectrum sunscreen when you’re exposed is essential.
Avoiding alcohol, stress, spicy foods and hot drinks, extreme temperatures and skincare that may irritate can also prevent unwanted blushing and bumps linked to rosacea.
Using a gentle daily cleanser and hydrating moisturiser that traps in water can help to maintain your skin’s natural balance and improve its barrier function to calm unwanted redness.
It’s a cover-up
To conceal your blushes there’s also colour-corrective makeup.
As well as featuring our Mineralizing Water to provide 24-hour hydration, this Vichy foundation has SPF 35 in it to help protect you from the sun – one of the main triggers of rosacea on the face.
For best results to conceal rosacea skin, use with the Vichy Dermablend SOS Concealer Stick and Setting Powder. The Vichy Dermablend SOS Concealer Stick also provides up to 16 hours of full coverage and its allantoin-enriched formula help soothes skin redness and irritation.
