Certain factors can trigger or worsen symptoms of rosacea by increasing blood flow to the surface of the skin.

Find out your skin type!
We recognise four different skin types: dry, oily, normal and combination skin. Everyones skin type is generally permanent and genetically determined, but for each skin type it is necessary to take into account additional factors such as sensitivity and uniformity of tone and texture, which ultimately also affect the choice of proper skincare.
