Lifestyle Considerations

Several lifestyle factors can make rosacea worse, although these are not the same for everyone because people have different reactions to the same ingredients or external ele­ments. These catalysts can include hot liquids, spicy foods, exposure to extreme temperatures (including cooking over a hot stove), alcohol consumption, sunlight, stress, saunas, hot tubs, smoking, rubbing or massaging the skin, irritating cosmetics, and anything else that overstimulates the skin and blood vessels.
