@rosaceadecoded: Every time you wash your face with warm or hot water, you're triggering a 72-hour inflammation cascade in rosacea skin. Rosacea skin has dysfunctional blood vessels. They dilate too easily and don't constrict back properly. Heat is the strongest trigger for vasodilation in skin. When you wash your face with warm water, those vessels open up and stay open for hours afterwards - which is why your face stays red after a shower. But it's worse than just temporary redness. Each vasodilation episode releases inflammatory mediators called neuropeptides. These activate mast cells, which release more histamine and inflammation. One hot wash creates a 48 to 72 hour inflammatory tail. If you wash twice a day with warm water, you're never not inflamed. Water temperature should be cool to lukewarm - cool enough that it doesn't feel hot on your wrist. If you shower, keep your face out of the direct water and wash it separately with cool water after. This single change reduces flushing in most rosacea patients within two weeks. Don’t know if it’s Rosacea?
