What is rosacea on the face: the main signs
Spider veins, reticulum, telangiectasia, couperose face are different names for dilated small vessels (capillaries) that show through the skin. The usual places of dislocation of rosacea:
- wings of the nose;
- cheeks;
- chin.
Most often, the tendency to rosacea on the face is inherited. And this unenviable inheritance went to about 10% of people, mostly fair-skinned Europeans belonging to phototypes 1 and 2 (Celtic and Nordic).
Causes of rosacea on the face
There are quite a few factors for the appearance of rosacea on the face (spider veins), from easily fixable to quite serious.
- Vitamin A deficiency.
- Thinning and increased sensitivity of the skin. An example is the dense male skin, which, due to daily shaving, often becomes prone to rosacea on the face.
- Taking hormonal drugs (for example, contraceptives).
- Pregnancy. Vessels can sensitively respond to changes in hormonal levels.
- Age-related hormonal changes.
- Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures. For example, a healthy blush caused by frost can gradually develop into a stable vascular network. Sometimes redness provokes overheating in the sun or in the bath, especially when it comes to people with fair skin.
- Unreasonable hardening.
Check if you are ready for winter.
“Washing in ice cold water to refresh or wake up is not worth it,” explains medical consultant Vichy Ekaterina Turubara. — Sudden changes in temperature can damage the fragile walls of the capillaries. For the same reason, hardening with contrasting washing with either hot or cold water is a dubious procedure. It is suitable only for absolutely healthy skin without a hint of rosacea or dehydration.
- Abuse of a vasodilator such as alcohol.
- chronic stress. Often, under emotional stress, blood literally rushes into the face.
- Couperose on the face can be one of the signs of rosacea or other dermatological and even internal diseases. Then the cosmetic approach will not help. Need a doctor’s consultation. It is he who will be able to understand the problem and prescribe the correct treatment. We urge you not to treat rosacea on your own!
Most often, the tendency to rosacea occurs in fair-skinned Europeans.

- Manganese (magnesium).
- Coffee abrasive particles (for example, in scrubs).
- Warming plant extracts: pepper, ginger, cinnamon.
Useful ingredients for couperose skin
