Facial redness can be caused by a variety of factors, ranging from temporary reactions to chronic skin conditions. Here are some common causes:

1. Skin Conditions

• Rosacea: A chronic condition causing facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps.

• Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): Inflamed, itchy, and red patches on the skin.

2. Environmental & External Factors

• Sun Exposure (Sunburn): UV rays can cause temporary or long-term redness.

• Extreme Weather (Wind, Cold, Heat): Harsh conditions can irritate the skin.

• Pollution & Irritants: Smoke, chemicals, or allergens can trigger redness.

• Hot Showers or Spicy Foods: Can cause temporary flushing.

3. Allergic Reactions & Irritants

• Contact Dermatitis: Reaction to skincare products, makeup, or fragrances.

• Food Allergies: Certain foods (dairy, gluten, alcohol) may trigger redness.

• Medication Side Effects: Some drugs (e.g., niacin, steroids) cause flushing.

4. Vascular & Blood Flow Issues

• Broken Capillaries (Telangiectasia): Tiny, visible blood vessels near the skin’s surface.

• High Blood Pressure or Alcohol Consumption: Can lead to facial flushing.

Treatments include:

1. Optimise impaired skin barrier: hyaluronic based skin booster (i.e. Profhilo)
2. Constrict aberrant blood vessels (i.e. Stellar M22, Elite IQ, etc.)
3. Treating inflammation with prescribed topical / oral medication.
