Dealing with rosacea

I've always had sensitive skin, and recently got diagnosed with rosacea. Unfortunately cold, wind, and intense sunshine are some of the triggers that make it worse. I'd appreciate any tips from fellow sufferers about how to manage this. Is there a particular sunblock/skin cream that helps? Should I just resign myself to wearing a ski mask?

Hi there...I have rosacea and cannot use physical barrier sunscreens as they are just not strong enough to keep my skin protected even off the slopes. I use Anthelios Face Fluid Light SPF 50 with Mexoryl off slope and their milk on slope. Mexoryl is not available in the United States so I order it from a dermatologist in NY https://store.skincarelab.com/anthelios.html. This is what works for me and may not for you. I also use a prescription lotion and have regular laser treatments.

Thanks for the reminder about Anthelios. I bought several bottles a couple of years ago when I was in France. So frustrating that Mexoryl is still not cleared for sale here in the US.
