Cooking Induced Rosacea

Rosacea sufferers should try to beat the kitchen heat because exposure to heat from the oven and stove may cause blood vessels in the face to dilate, giving them that extreme flushed look that is characteristic of this condition.

Try the following tips to help keep flare-ups at bay when cooking:

Place a fan in the kitchen and wear loose, comfortable clothing when cooking

Dab your face with a cold wash cloth or chew an ice chip in order to cool off in the kitchen

Take repeated breaks from cooking and baking

Use your rosacea medication consistently
