How to differentiate Rosacea from Acne

It becomes difficult to distinguish rosacea from acne flareups. This is how you can do this. Rosacea, as we have said earlier, is a middle-aged skin issue. Acne in the middle age is usually seen around the jawline but rosacea symptoms especially acne can be noticed in the middle of the face.

  • Rosacea triggers: A few things can make your skin flareup more.
  • Heat heats it up:  Hot weather, water, and food – all are bad for rosacea. These may make it even worse.
  • Booz is bad: Alcohol can cause flushing, making it more visible to the people who may want to hide it from others.
  • Stress is suicidal: When you stress, you are making rosacea pervasive. Relax. Meditation is a nice way out.
  • Sun is seriously harming: Sunlight can cause inflammation. Counter it with clothing that hides your skin or do not step out much. Long hours in the sun is a complete no-no.
  • Sweat is not good for your skin: This may sound like, what? But yes, if you are working it out hard in the gym or otherwise, your skin condition will transcend from bad to worse.
  • Stay Chemical-safe: Harsher the chemical, harshest the outcome. Go gentle with your choice of cleansers and other skincare products if you are living with this rosacea skin condition.

Certain health conditions too can trigger rosacea. These include menopause, chronic cough, and caffeine withdrawal syndrome.
