Factors That Can Influence Rosacea
The symptoms of rosacea are influenced by many factors, some we can control and some we cannot. We can't harness the sun light and it's effect on the skin but we can regulate our response to it - applying sun screen even on cloudy days can protect the skin from the harmful effect of the sun rays. Wearing a hat to shield the face and eyes is another option. Stress can have a physical and mental impact on the body. We each handle and process stress differently. The physical stress from over exertion causes a laborious or strenuous effort. This effort can result in facial redness and perspiration. The mental impact of stress or stressful situation can influence the body by lowering immune system's ability to function properly. This can result in increased skin inflammation. The steam from hot beverages can feel wonderfully warm on the skin on a cold day but can also cause a flush of redness on the skin from the heat of the beverage. Spicy foods create an internal heat in the body which can result in facial redness, and sweating.
