Which statement best describes skincare for Rosacea?

• A. Rosacea: gentle formulations, avoid irritants and heat
• B. Rosacea: use strong exfoliants and heat during treatments
• C. Rosacea: avoid any moisturisers
• D. Rosacea: aggressive extractions

Answer: (A)

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that tends to flare with irritation and heat. The best skincare approach centers on protecting the skin barrier and avoiding triggers. This means using gentle, fragrance-free and non-irritating formulations, choosing a moisturizer to support barrier function, and protecting the skin from sun exposure, which can worsen redness. Heat and harsh exfoliation or aggressive procedures can provoke flushing and irritate the skin, so they should be avoided. By keeping the routine simple, soothing, and barrier-friendly, rosacea symptoms are less likely to intensify.
