Processed Foods

Processed foods are obvious rosacea-triggers but they’re still the hardest ones to avoid. With most stores and restaurants offering them, they can be quite difficult to stay away from. However, if you really want to avoid rosacea, you’ll have to work harder to eliminate processed foods from your diet. They contain a high amount of sugar which can worsen the inflammation that goes with rosacea.

In addition to processed foods, you should also skip fried foods. They are high in omega 6 fatty acids which can increase your body’s inflammatory response. Dairy products are linked to rosacea and acne. However, the exact mechanism as to why isn’t clear yet.

Knowing your triggers can be quite challenging. But, if you pay a closer attention to how your skin reacts to each food you eat, you’ll have a clearer idea. One of the best ways to start is to keep track of what you eat on a daily basis. List down your food intake and take note of what kind of reaction you get from them. This way, it’ll be easy for you to avoid the bad ones for your skin.

In addition to your diet, being more cautious of the products you use on your skin counts, too. Make sure you are cleansing, moisturizing and protecting your skin with the right products so that it stays calm and healthy.
