@drivenbybeauty: “It’s just from drinking?” Babe, I hear this daily 🍷🚫 As a dermal clinician, here are 3 things I keep hearing that sound true… but aren’t: 1. “Rosacea only affects pale skin” – Nope. I’ve seen it in every skin tone. Genetics don’t discriminate. 2. “It’s just broken capillaries from too much alcohol” – Also false. While booze can be a trigger, it’s not the root cause. 3. “It’ll go away with a scrub” – Please stop scrubbing your barrier into oblivion. Rosacea is inflammatory, not dirty. Rosacea isn’t your fault. It could be genetic—some research suggests 1 in 20 in the UK have it due to Celtic ancestry. But what fascinates me most? I’ve seen it across all backgrounds. That’s the beauty of genetic diversity 🧬 If you’re flaring, flushed, or just fed up, don’t guess. Get managed. #rosacea #skintruths #dermalclinician #rednessrelief #skincaremyths #skinsensitivity #geneticskin #barrierrepair #skincareroutine #skincarefacts #notdirtyjustinflamed #skincarewithscience #celctic #derm
