Why Rosacea Intensifies in Midlife and How to Cut Flare Frequency

• Rosacea often worsens in midlife because years of inflammation prevent blood vessels from fully recovering between triggers, making redness more persistent
• An overactive immune response keeps inflammatory signals switched on, which drives flushing, burning, and visible blood vessels even without obvious triggers
• Gut imbalance fuels facial inflammation by sending immune signals into your bloodstream that keep skin cells reactive and slow recovery
• Processed foods, including seed oils, increase inflammatory load, while stabilizing digestion and reducing daily stressors lowers flare frequency
• Addressing root drivers such as diet, gut health, and emotional stress reduces reactivity and helps your skin regain the ability to reset
