Couperose (as known as Rosacea, and also commonly misspelled Rosasea) is a clinical skin condition that makes the face appear to be red due to dilated blood vessels and capillaries. We will be discussing the different triggers, symptoms and remedies used to soothe the symptoms of this irritating condition.

The Triggers of Couperose

There are many reasons that could cause your capillaries and blood vessels to dilate. Some of these triggers include alcohol and cigarettes, hot drinks and spicy food and other reasons like sun exposure, high temperatures or even stress. So naturally you should try to avoid or minimize your exposure to these possible triggers and definitely do not attempt to be in an environment where you have to combine two or more of the these triggers. In general you must try to avoid anything that will exacerbate the symptoms, which leads us to the next topic.

The Symptoms of Couperose

There are actually two main symptoms that you can experience with Couperose that I want to talk about. The first of them being the apparent redness you have on your skin. This of course like I mentioned earlier is due to your dilated capillaries and blood vessels that can even break at times. Their location under your skin will create an obvious red look that will be most noticeable on your nose and cheeks. The other symptom of Couperose is usually the dryness and sensitivity  of your skin. This can be very irritating, especially in the case of dry skin where it is more prone to breaking and causing some pain in that area. The pain in those cases are caused by the tightness of the skin and in some cases a burning feeling that can cause you some discomfort.

Remedies for Couperose

The first thing you can do is get a good cleanser that will help you reduce any burning feeling that you might be getting. It’s best to look for a cleanser that mentions that it can be used for that purpose on its packaging. The second thing to do would be trying to reduce the dryness that you’re experiencing and this can be done  by getting a moisturizer. Get yourself a quality moisturizer and keep applying it to your skin regularly and especially to the spots where your skin feels the most dry. The last thing you can also look for is treatments specifically designed for Couperose, in which case you can ask your doctor or dermatologist. This might be more expensive but probably most effective in targeting the specific symptoms that you might have if you are suffering from this condition. These methods, combined with the avoidance of triggers will help you significantly in soothing the symptoms and eventually eradicate couperose.
