5 Skincare Tips For a Flare-Up Free Fall!

After months of sun exposure, layers of sunscreen and hot, sticky weather that can cause breakouts, fall is the perfect time to get back on track with your skincare goals! BUT - it can also welcome a whole new set of not-so-fun skin-related issues. Fall can be a particularly a tough time for people with rosacea. Across the United States, roughly 16 million sufferers experience heightened redness and bumps during cooler weather. We've put together some top tips for optimizing your fall skincare routine (and how to avoid rosacea flare-ups this season!)

1. Keep Wearing Your SPF!

This is one of the biggest mistakes people make as temperatures start to cool down, it's natural to relax your SPF standards. However, sun dame is a year-round concern! Harmful UV rays are the #1 cause of skin cancer and premature aging. So remember - even if it's not hot outside, stock up on The Day Cream to avoid any sun damage.

2. Avoid Hot Showers

When it's chilly outside, it's hard to fight the urge to jump in a steamy hot shower and stay a bit longer than usual. We dare you to fight the urge! The truth is, your skin becomes drier as temperature and humidity levels drop. Hot water can be extremely irritating and can cause already-dry skin to become inflamed and cracked.

3. Skip Hot Drinks

While you may be eye-ing that piping hot pumpkin spice latte, keep in mind that hot drinks can trigger flushing in your face and can result in a flare-up of your rosacea. If it’s hot enough to make you feel overheated, then experts recommend letting drink become lukewarm before enjoying it!

4. Don't Forget Your Scarf

Did you know? Wind is reported as a rosacea trigger by more than 57% of those surveyed by The National Rosacea Society! During the fall and winter months, try your best to keep your face covered to keep the cold wind from irritating and dilating the blood vessels on your face.
