therapist Manon explain and give you tips. <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Rosacea is an annoying skin condition associated with redness, bumps and visible blood vessels on the face.<br \/>\nIt is a chronic condition that can have a major impact on your self-confidence and daily life.<br \/>\nUnfortunately, the exact cause of rosacea is not yet fully understood.<br \/>\nHowever, we do know that genetic predisposition is often at the root and that various environmental factors can play a role in triggering rosacea.<br \/>\nIn this article, we will take you through an important trigger of rosacea, namely diet.    <\/p>\n<p>Dermatologist Francis Wu and skin therapist Manon like to share their knowledge on how nutrition can affect the symptoms of your rosacea.<br \/>\nThey give you tools to avoid possible triggers, which can stabilize your rosacea.<br \/>\nThis will allow you to make more conscious choices and hopefully reduce the impact of rosacea on your life.<br \/>\nWhat foods rosacea reacts to varies from person to person.<br \/>\nWe'll take you through the most well-known triggers, as well as foods that can actually calm your rosacea.    <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Foods that may worsen your rosacea symptoms<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Alcohol and spicy food<br \/><\/strong>Avoiding alcohol and spicy food can help reduce the symptoms of your rosacea.<br \/>\nAlcohol dilates your blood vessels and spicy foods stimulate the receptors in your skin, leading to additional redness of your skin that makes your rosacea more noticeable. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Histamine-rich foods<br \/><\/strong>Avoiding histamine-rich foods can help reduce inflammation and redness.<br \/>\nBe careful because histamine is often found in healthy foods!<br \/>\nHere are some examples of histamine-rich foods to avoid:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fermented foods: such as sauerkraut, kimchi and miso<\/li>\n<li>Processed meats: such as salami, ham and sausage<\/li>\n<li>Cheeses: such as cheddar, Gouda cheese and brie<\/li>\n<li>Wine and beer: mostly white wine and beer<\/li>\n<li>Fish and shellfish: especially tuna, sardines and anchovies<\/li>\n<li>Pickled foods: such as pickles and olives<\/li>\n<li>Some vegetables: such as spinach, tomatoes and eggplant<\/li>\n<li>Fruits: bananas, strawberries, avocados and dried fruits such as raisins<\/li>\n<li>Nuts and seeds: such as cashews and sunflower seeds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Foods with positive and anti-inflammatory properties<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Dairy products<\/strong><br \/>Despite dairy often being seen as a potential trigger, foods from this product group can sometimes actually help reduce inflammation and strengthen your skin barrier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Omega-3 fatty acids<\/strong><br \/>Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish oil and flaxseed oil, have anti-inflammatory properties.<br \/>\nThey can help reduce skin irritation and improve your skin condition, especially with ocular rosacea. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Caffeine<\/strong><br \/>Although this may sound surprising, drinking four or more cups of coffee a day can help reduce your rosacea symptoms.<br \/>\nThis is because the antioxidants in coffee are anti-inflammatory. <\/p>\n<h3><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Find a diet that suits you<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Keeping a food diary<\/strong><br \/>Every person with rosacea reacts differently to foods.<br \/>\nFoods that trigger rosacea symptoms in one person may not do so in another.<br \/>\nKeeping a food diary can help you discover which foods aggravate your rosacea symptoms.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Social and cultural challenges<\/strong><br \/>Avoiding certain foods can be challenging within certain cultures and social circles.<br \/>\nFind a balance that suits your lifestyle and allows you to control your rosacea symptoms. <\/p>\n<h2><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>What can the skin therapists at The Laser Clinic do for you?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, just adjusting your diet is usually not enough.<br \/>\nAt De Laserkliniek in Groningen and Heerenveen, we can treat your rosacea effectively.<br \/>\nWe look at specific characteristics of your skin to determine which treatment we apply.<br \/>\nWe often combine several treatments for the best results.<br \/>\nBasically, good daily skin care is important.<br \/>\nWith rosacea, we often say: <em>less is more<\/em>.<br \/>\nThe basics usually consist of only three or four skin products:      <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A mild cleanser, for example with niacinamide such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/dehuidwebshop.nl\/product\/dermaceutic-oxibiome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>Oxybiome or Advanced cleanser from Dermaceutic<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<li>A day\/night cream from such as <a href=\"https:\/\/dehuidwebshop.nl\/product\/iconic-spotreducer-cream\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iconic Elements' Spotreducer<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>An SPF50 broad-spectrum sunscreen such as <a href=\"https:\/\/dehuidwebshop.nl\/product\/heliocare-ar-emulsion-spf-50\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heliocare'<\/a>s <a href=\"https:\/\/dehuidwebshop.nl\/product\/heliocare-ar-emulsion-spf-50\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mineral fluid or AR emulsion<\/a><\/li>\n<li>For cornified skin or many acne spots, we recommend an additional cleanser with PHA (polyhydroxy acid).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Possible treatments for rosacea at The Laser Clinic<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Superficial medical microneedling<\/strong><br \/>With a superficial medical microneedling treatment, we stimulate your skin's repair process, strengthening it and reducing redness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LED therapy<\/strong><br \/>We use LED therapy to soothe and strengthen your skin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Laser therapy<\/strong><br \/>Laser therapy gives very nice results for rosacea.<br \/>\nThe visible red blood vessels diminish, making your skin more even and calm.<br \/>\nThis treatment also works against demodex skin mites.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Mild medical peels<\/strong><br \/>A peel makes your skin renew itself faster, making it stronger and less responsive to triggers. This will give you a more even skin tone. For rosacea, we use mild PHA acids because stronger acids can act as triggers again.<\/p>\n<p>At The Laser Clinic, we have extensive experience treating rosacea.<br \/>\nWe usually choose a unique combination of different techniques within one treatment for optimal results.  For example, laser treatment with a mild peel or microneedling with LED therapy.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Stabilizing your rosacea by avoiding or adding foods to your diet is a process of trial and error.<br \/>\nBy being intentional about what you eat and paying attention to possible triggers, you can reduce the frequency and severity of rosacea outbreaks. <\/p>\n<p>Would you like to improve your overall skin appearance or reduce the redness of your skin?<br \/>\nThen make a no-obligation appointment with the skin therapists at The Laser Clinic. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_1 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h6>Written by dermatologist Francis Wu and skin therapist Manon<\/h6>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":7081,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/delaserkliniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/delaserkliniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/delaserkliniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/delaserkliniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/delaserkliniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7087"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/delaserkliniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7087\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9884,"href":"https:\/\/delaserkliniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7087\/revisions\/9884"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/delaserkliniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/delaserkliniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/delaserkliniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/delaserkliniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
