Rosacea: Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with an spf of 30 or higher, protect your face in the winter with a scarf or ski mask, avoid irritating your facial skin by rubbing or touching it too much, wash problem areas with a gentle cleanser (dove, cetaphil), avoid facial products that contain alcohol or other skin irritants. There is also "finacea" but it is pretty expensive.

It's the heat: Stress, heat, sun are things can can exacerbate rosacea. If you want treatment you can see an aesthetic doctor. Laser, ipl, chemical peels, topical antibiotics are some treatments that can help.
