Trigger: Are you taking hot showers? Rosacea can be triggered by extremes of temperature. It will be helpful to identify the triggers of flushing (e.g. Sunlight, exercise, alcohol), and avoid them. Use gentle skin cleanser ; moisturizer. Avoid applying harsh, irritating products on your skin. It's also recommended to apply sunscreen. If you're continually having problems, it's best to see your doctor.
