Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that causes redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small red bumps on the face. It often comes in cycles, with periods of flare-ups followed by calmer phases. While anyone can develop rosacea, it is most common in adults aged 30-60, particularly women with fair skin. Symptoms can range from mild flushing to more persistent redness and, in severe cases, thickened skin. Early management is key to preventing the condition from worsening.

Thread veins, sometimes called spider veins, are small, visible blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin. They are typically red or purple and most commonly show up on the face or legs. Unlike rosacea, thread veins are not a recurring condition but result from factors like sun exposure, genetics, or ageing.

‍

The exact causes of these conditions are not fully understood, but several factors can play a role: Genetics: A family history of rosacea or thread veins increases your likelihood of developing them.
Environmental Exposure: Prolonged exposure to sunlight or extreme temperatures can aggravate both conditions.
Lifestyle Triggers: Hot drinks, spicy foods, alcohol, and stress are common triggers for rosacea.
Skin Sensitivities: An overactive immune response to microorganisms on the skin may contribute to rosacea.
Ageing: With age, blood vessels can weaken, leading to the appearance of thread veins.

Using gentle, non-irritating skincare products is crucial for rosacea-prone skin. Look for products that are fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and designed for sensitive skin. Calming moisturizers with ingredients like niacinamide, green tea extract, or aloe vera are also recommended. At Skinportant Clinic, we recommend Janssen Cosmetics products for their effective, high-quality formulations tailored to sensitive and rosacea-prone skin.

Rosacea doesn’t have to define your skin. By understanding the condition, recognizing your triggers, and working with a professional, you can manage symptoms and achieve healthier skin.
