How To Recognize And Treat Rosacea So You Can Get Back To Living Your Life

Rosacea Triggers: Extreme Weather And Temperatures

It is important to identify triggers of rosacea flare-ups to understand how to make lifestyle changes to prevent them. Common triggers include extremes in weather, such as strong winds, direct sun, and extreme cold. Temperature changes are also a known trigger, which is why it is best to avoid saunas and hot baths and opt for environments with moderate temperatures instead. In addition, quickly increasing the body's temperature by engaging in strenuous physical activity can cause the blood vessels to dilate, thereby triggering rosacea. Avoiding extreme temperature changes is best; however, keeping a frozen water bottle on the neck can keep the face from flushing during workouts and while outdoors in the sun.
