Couperose is characterised by intermittent flushing which may be minutes long or persist for days or permanent redness and dilation of small superficial blood vessels (capillaries) of the face. Redness can be widespread or localised, varying in intensity and in the most severe forms, is associated with a marked visibility of often a network of thread veins, particularly visible on the cheeks and nose area of the face, forming a pattern that is known as ‘the butterfly.’ The main triggers and causes of this skin condition are multifactorial and diversified: UV radiation is key particularly unprotected exposure in the first third of your life, unprotected by sunscreen.
Other triggers are cold weather and hot-cold temperature variations (coming into a centrally heated house from the cold outside), hence flare-ups seen in winter as well as summer., emotional stress, hormonal triggers, physical exercise, hot drinks, spicy foods, alcohol, and unsuitable cosmetics.
A few simple but important measures should be adopted to improve the aesthetic appearance of rosacea-prone skin, for example: All year round protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation even on cloudy days; cleanse the face daily with gentle products that do not alter the hydrolipid film of the skin; avoid alcoholic drinks and spicy foods.

marked and evident soothing action. The combination of xylitol and glycerol makes it possible to obtain a clear moisturising action and promote good healthy skin by improving its barrier functions and microbiome. The mask effectively reduces erythema.
