I have had issues with food for a long time. So long in fact that I didn’t realise how bad the issues had become until recently, when their absence has been so shocking that it has become impossible to ignore the situation.

So I have pulled together the products that would work as a rosacea cover ups for men and those who prefer a lighter look.
I have lived with rosacea for 20 years and, for the most part, I have it under control. But I’m aware that this control is possible because I am largely able to regulate everything around me.

So here are my tips on how to calm rosacea flare ups, even when you’re away from your reliable at-home methods.

Let’s crack on with my June Skincare Shake Up. (It’s a long one, so get comfy!)
When I decided to start writing about beauty I chose to focus on nails because, although I was just as excited by make up and skincare, I saw this as a great way to talk about beauty without having to show my face to the world.
I have rosacea, a skin condition that means my face is always red and can flare up at any time. I never leave the house without make up and the thought of sharing photos of my bare skin used to fill me with dread. So what changed?
