Rosacea Awareness Month – Understanding & Treating Rosacea at Beauté Street Somerset

Rosacea Awareness Month

April marks Rosacea Awareness Month, a time dedicated to increasing public understanding of this common but often misunderstood skin condition. At Beauté Street Somerset, we believe in empowering our clients with knowledge, offering advanced skin treatments tailored to those affected by rosacea, and helping individuals regain confidence in their skin.

What Is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that typically affects the face, most commonly appearing on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. It often presents as persistent redness, visible blood vessels, flushing, and, in some cases, acne-like bumps. While rosacea can affect anyone, it is most common in individuals with fair skin, aged 30 to 50, and tends to worsen over time if left untreated.

Common Triggers of Rosacea

Rosacea symptoms can be aggravated by a variety of internal and external triggers. Identifying and avoiding these triggers is key to managing flare-ups. Common rosacea triggers include:

🔹 Sun Exposure – UV rays can aggravate sensitive skin and cause inflammation

🔹 Hot Weather or Wind – Sudden changes in temperature or harsh weather can inflame the skin

🔹 Stress and Anxiety – Emotional stress is a major trigger for many rosacea sufferers

🔹 Alcohol and Spicy Foods – Can dilate blood vessels and worsen facial redness

🔹 Caffeine and Hot Drinks – The heat can increase facial flushing

🔹 Harsh Skincare Products – Ingredients like alcohol, fragrance, or exfoliating acids can irritate the skin

At Beauté, we recommend keeping a skin diary to track flare-ups and help identify personal triggers more easily.

Professional Treatments for Rosacea at Beauté Street Somerset

While there is no cure for rosacea, targeted skincare and professional treatments can significantly reduce its appearance and prevent progression. At Beauté Street Somerset, we offer tailored treatment plans designed to soothe, strengthen, and support rosacea-prone skin.

🌿 Calming and Strengthening Facials

Our soothing skin facials are designed to reduce inflammation, strengthen the skin barrier, and deeply hydrate. We use gentle, professional-grade products specifically formulated for sensitive skin.

💡 LED Light Therapy

Particularly beneficial for rosacea, red and near-infrared LED light therapy reduces inflammation, calms redness, and promotes skin healing. This non-invasive treatment is safe, relaxing, and ideal for rosacea-prone skin.

🧪 Chemical-Free Skin Peels

We offer enzyme-based peels that exfoliate gently without triggering irritation. These peels are ideal for clients with rosacea who still want a rejuvenating treatment.

❄️ Cryotherapy and Cooling Masks

Cool-based therapies can help constrict blood vessels and calm hot, inflamed skin. Our bespoke cooling treatments offer instant relief from redness and discomfort.
