I seem to have developed rosacea . I’m using very gentle products and have bought Rosalique which is good to cover it up. Any tips on managing this condition.

It might be better to see a GP for a correct diagnosis rather than use anything which might irritate your skin if it is not rosacea.

A doctor can prescribe Rozex cream or you might need a course of antibiotics.

Stress can cause a flare-up of rosacea.

DP has this condition, but as said it does need proper diagnosis.There are creams to try which are prescribed and sometime anti-biotics for six months which can help.
Very little alcohol and wearing high factor sunscreen.

Thank you both for your comments! Very difficult to get a doctors appointment at the moment but I’ll keep on trying!
