The temperature change will help to constrict the dilated blood vessels and temporarily halt the inflammation process. However don’t apply ice directly on your face considering more is good; as it can cause skin damage.

Preferably use a green-tinted or yellow under-foundation cover if you are prone to flare-ups as the green or yellow color will combine with the red color on your face and completely neutralize it. If you wish to use any cream to prevent wrinkles then read the product carefully and avoid creams that contain alpha hydroxyl acids; the acid percent should be less than 2.5 percent. Discontinue any product which gives the redness or swollen veins on your face. Select cosmetics designed for sensitive skin as they have fewer chemical irritants then the regular ones.

Chamomile – Use moisturizers, cleansers and soaps containing chamomile, as this herb related to ragweed family helps to soothe rosacea prone skin (avoid this if you are allergic to ragweed).

Protection – To protect your face from sun wear a sunscreen lotion with sun protecting factor of 15 or higher, 20 minutes before you step out in the sun. Preferably use a sunscreen which has titanium dioxide as a main ingredient. To protect your skin in winter carry a scarf or ski mask. Don’t touch or rub your skin too much as it can irritate the delicate skin on the face.

Alcohol – Although alcohol doesn’t cause rosacea, consuming it can cause flushing of the skin and may worsen the symptoms. So it is wise to avoid alcohol to avoid any triggers or flare-ups of rosacea.
