Q: What are your rosacea do's and don'ts to combat symptoms and treat flare-ups?
If you are someone struggling with rosacea, Gucci can certainly relate! The unpredictable skin condition that causes redness and inflammation popped up in her 40s, and it's been a long journey to find preventative measures that work.
Today, she's learned to identify triggers and do what she can to avoid them. Spicy foods, red wine, caffeine, and stress are a few things that can cause flare-ups, but treatments like light therapy, gently active skincare, and microneedling have also helped. It all starts with a visit (or in Gucci's case many visits) to a dermatologist, though sometimes, medication may be necessary.
As for makeup tricks to camouflage the frustrating flush? Her soothe-saying combination is applying Vital Skincare Complexion Drops, as she would a favorite serum, and then spot-checking problematic areas with Vital Skin Foundation. The final step is sweeping on Vital Pressed Skincare Powder to set, as all three products contain powerful treatment actives that calm and soothe the skin while neutralizing redness. "Wearing them together, layered, you are working to improve the quality of your skin," says Gucci noting each formula's benefits, "It's skincare that happens to do your makeup."
