Winter is my least favourite season. That may be surprising to people who know me, as it’s a season filled with some of my favourite things: stodgy foods, Christmas, staying inside… But for my rosacea, it’s an absolutely disaster. So, let’s chat about the ways you can help your skin. Read on for my rosacea tips for winter.
A few years ago, I did an instagram live with Andy Millward (Facialist extraordinaire) where we answered all of your questions about the best rosacea treatments – at home and in the salon.

I’m so grateful to Andy for answering all of my questions below, I hope you find it useful.

So, I thought I would ask the members of my fantastic private Facebook group, Rosacea Club, as they are a knowledgable and wonderful bunch. So here we go, some fantastic tips for how to exercise when you have rosacea, from those who know.
