Madrid, Sep 6.(Press Europa) -

The use of the mask as a measure of protection against COVID-19 is causing the worsening of skin problems such as rosacea, according to Dr. Julio Maset, a cinfa doctor, so he advises to use masks that fit the face,In addition to extreme skin care and avoid abrupt temperature changes, among other recommendations.

The rosacea is characterized by transitory episodes of blush, redness, very visible dilated capillaries, papules and granitos, reminiscent of those of the adolescent acne.Sometimes, you can last weeks or months.According to Maset, this disease, also known as Rosacea Acne, "can cause the same emotional impact as youth acne and, like this disorder, undermine self -esteem to suffer it in an important way".

More frequent in women and between 30 and 50 years of age, it mainly affects the skin of the central area of the face (nose, cheeks, chin, front and quot), which are the areas where there is more sebum.In its most severe forms, you can cover your entire face, including eyelids, and spread around your neck.In the case of men, more frequent.

The Cinfa expert explains that an inflammatory and environmental disease is considered caused by multiple factors: clear skin, hereditary predisposition or very sensitive capillaries with more tendency to expand, so the redness appears that, over time, can become permanent.In addition, there are environmental factors that favor the appearance of rosacea, such as stress, sun exposure, or certain drugs and food (spicy, for example).Alcohol does not produce rosacea, but it can aggravate it, it warns Maset.

Care after summer and before stress

According to Cinfa's doctor, during the summer, and when it ends, patients with rosacea should pay greater attention to the care of their skin, since it is at this time of year, next to winter, when the skin suffers more."Sun exposure, heat and sudden temperature changes can cause a pink worsening," Maset explains.

"If we add stress, uncertainty and anxiety generated by pandemic, together with the use of the mask, the perfect cocktail is created.Under this, a microenvironment is created that favors local heat and proliferation of bacteria;In addition, if it is too tight, you can create excessive pressure on the skin of the face or, if it is too baggy, touch it and attack it ".

If cutaneous problems are identified with a specific type of mask, Cinfa's medical expert recommends using another that offers the same protection, but manufactured with different materials.It can also be beneficial to change model or brand, so that the tapping is supported or rubbing every time in different areas of the face, which would prevent the appearance of injuries.

TIPS CONTROL ROSACEA DURING PANDEMIA

As for skin care, the expert advises applying cleaners without soap, which irritate and dry out, in addition to helping to relieve symptoms such as irritation, itchor and erythema.After cleaning, it is recommended to use a lotion with emollient, moisturizing or soothing properties, applied with a soft massage.

It also advises protecting itself from solar radiation through the daily application of cosmetic products with solar filters with a minimum factor of 30, in order to mitigate the effect of UVA, UVB and IR-A radiation on the skin.Thus, it is essential to limit the time of exposure to the sun and avoid this in the central hours of the day.

As for makeup, the doctor advises the use of non -comedogenic bases.Likewise, specific makeup that contain green pigments that help hide redness can also be used.

According to Maset, it is also important to avoid sudden temperature changes.And, if possible, strong winds and cold climates or environments, since they are trigger factors of skin conditions.Likewise, smoke -loaded environments are not recommended either.In case of smoking, it is important to reduce or eliminate tobacco consumption, since nicotine can cause more capillaries to appear on your skin.

Learning to relax is another important point to improve control over rosacea.Working respiratory techniques and regularly practicing activities such as muscle relaxation, meditation, mindfulness or yoga will help better manage stress and reduce anxiety or other negative emotions, more frequent at a time like the current.And, as the doctor concludes, "emotional factors also have their reflection on the skin".
