class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Causes_Redness_in_the_Face\"><\/span><a><\/a>What Causes Redness in the Face?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to cosmetic dermatologist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michelegreenmd.com\/rosacea-treatment-nyc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Michele Green<\/a>, facial redness can be caused by several factors. \u201cCauses range from rosacea to acne to visible blood vessels from sun damage,\u201d she says. \u201cAny facial flushing as a result of these factors will often need intervention by a board-certified dermatologist and may require cosmetic procedures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, she adds, facial redness can also be a result of lifestyle factors like exercise, emotional stress, alcohol, spicy foods, and\/or high heat. \u201cIn these instances, facial redness is often temporary and will subside on its own,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_rosacea\"><\/span>What is rosacea?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition that causes redness, visible bumps, or pimples on your skin, and broken blood vessels. \u201cThe primary sites are the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin and may also be associated with a burning or itching sensation,\u201d Dr. Green notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rosacea_treatments\"><\/span>Rosacea treatments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is currently no cure for rosacea, according to Dr. Green, but treatment can help control the symptoms. \u201cRosacea is commonly diagnosed incorrectly as eczema, psoriasis, or allergic dermatitis which can make it difficult for patients to find relief,\u201d she says. \u201cTherefore, it is essential to get a proper, immediate diagnosis so you can receive appropriate treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the best ways to treat rosacea, according to Dr. Green, is with a laser. \u201cFacial redness as a result of rosacea is often treated with the VBeam Laser which only targets the red pigment on your skin and leaves the surrounding skin unaffected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also try topical medications if you have mild to moderate rosacea. \u201cA dermatologist can prescribe Mirvaso, Soolantra, and Metrogel,\u201d Dr. Green says. \u201cThese topical medications work to reduce flushing by constricting blood vessels. Many of these medications need to be applied regularly for a few weeks to see improvements and maintain them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Making sure you\u2019re taking the best possible care of your skin is also key. \u201cYou should always try to cleanse your face twice a day to remove all dirt and oil,\u201d Dr. Green says. \u201cChoose a mild, rosacea-friendly cleanser and gently rub it into your face with your fingertips before rinsing off with lukewarm water. Another important step is moisturizing which can help support the skin\u2019s protective barrier and make it more resistant to environmental damage that can dry out your skin. It is also essential that you use a physical sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or above. Sun exposure is one of the most common triggers of facial redness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, you may want to try oral antibiotics. \u201cIf you have moderate to severe rosacea with bumps and pimples, oral antibiotics like doxycycline (Oracea) can help,\u201d Dr. Green says. \u201cAlthough its mechanism of action is unknown, it works to effectively treat inflammatory lesions of rosacea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Causes_of_Facial_Redness\"><\/span><a><\/a>Other Causes of Facial Redness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, as noted above, rosacea isn\u2019t the only cause of facial redness. Some other common causes of redness in the face include:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Genetics\"><\/span><a><\/a>Genetics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, your genes are to blame for facial redness\u2014particularly when it comes to rosacea. \u201cCertain variations in HLA genes contribute to the abnormal inflammation that is characteristic of rosacea,\u201d notes Dr. Green. \u201cSome studies have suggested that people with rosacea are four times more likely to have a positive family history than individuals without the condition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Treatment_options\"><\/span><a><\/a>Treatment options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re dealing with rosacea, talk to your dermatologist about what treatment options may be available for you, from a topical treatment to oral antibiotics and laser treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Acne\"><\/span><a><\/a>Acne<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Acne is another common cause of facial redness, according to Dr. Green. \u201cFacial acne occurs when the pores are clogged with sebum, dead skin cells, and infected with bacteria,\u201d she says. \u201cThe body\u2019s immune system responds to the bacteria by attacking it which causes inflammation. This results in skin redness that is mainly localized around the major areas of skin breakouts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Treatment_options-2\"><\/span><a><\/a>Treatment options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re suffering from facial redness due to acne, talk to your dermatologist about what treatment options may be available to you including topical treatments, oral antibiotics, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sun_damage\"><\/span><a><\/a>Sun damage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sun damage is another cause of facial redness. \u201c Sun damage can break down collagen and elastin and cause your skin to become thin,\u201d explains Dr. Green. \u201cPersistent sun damage to your face can cause the top layer to peel and make blood vessels under the skin more visible. It can also enlarge and dilate your blood vessels, creating the appearance of facial redness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Treatment_options-3\"><\/span><a><\/a>Treatment options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re dealing with sun damage, your dermatologist may be able to present certain laser treatment options to you that can help. And to avoid further sun damage, make sure to always apply SPF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High_blood_pressure\"><\/span><a><\/a>High blood pressure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High blood pressure is another common cause of facial redness. \u201cWhen blood pressure is temporarily higher than normal, the face can become red,\u201d Dr. Green says. \u201cExercise and alcohol are two factors that can raise your blood pressure which can cause the blood vessels in the face to dilate and become red.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Treatment_options-4\"><\/span><a><\/a>Treatment options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your blood pressure is temporarily high, the redness should disappear on its own. However, if you have generally high blood pressure, it\u2019s important to talk to your doctor about what you can do to lower it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Prevent_Facial_Redness\"><\/span><a><\/a>How to Prevent Facial Redness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good skincare routine can help with facial redness and rosacea by helping your skin feel more comfortable, boosting your skin\u2019s overall health, and reducing the risk of flare-ups, Dr. Green explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIndividuals should cleanse their face twice a day with a gentle cleanser, moisturize frequently, and protect their skin from the sun,\u201d she says. \u201cCleansing your face twice daily will ensure there is no oil and dirt on your skin that may irritate you. Moisturizing frequently can also help reduce irritation and reinforce an impaired protection barrier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sun protection is also key. \u201cSun exposure damages the skin barrier and can trigger a facial redness flare-up, especially when combined with heavy exercise and heat,\u201d Dr. Green says. \u201cAnd try to avoid skincare products that contain ingredients like alcohol, fragrance, glycolic acid, lactic acid, menthol, urea, and sodium laurel sulfate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Takeaways\"><\/span><a><\/a>Key Takeaways<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facial redness has a handful of causes, and some of them are easy to get rid of on your own. But if you\u2019ve tried to get rid of facial redness to no avail, it\u2019s important to talk to your dermatologist, who can help you get to the bottom of exactly what\u2019s going on and lay out the best treatment options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to prevent and get rid of redness on the face<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1675,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[33,35,21],"class_list":["post-1647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pro-tips","tag-dry-skin","tag-sensitivity-redness","tag-soothe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Facial Redness: Causes and Treatments - The Skincare Source<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A consistently red face can have a lot of underlying causes.
