Yon-ka champions calm, healthy skin with science-backed solutions for rosacea
As spring brings renewal and fresh energy, April also marks Rosacea Awareness Month, a timely opportunity to shed light on a common yet often misunderstood skin condition that affects millions worldwide.
Nicknamed “The Curse of the Celts” due to its high prevalence among fair-skinned individuals, rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition typically affecting adults over 30.
In fact, 77% of people in Ireland identify as fair-skinned or freckled putting them at greater risk of experiencing rosacea’s hallmark symptoms, including persistent redness, flushing, and, in more severe cases, visible blood vessels or acne-like breakouts.
While there’s no known cure, the right skincare can make all the difference in managing symptoms, especially during the seasonal shift when fluctuating temperatures and environmental changes are common triggers.
To mark Rosacea Awareness Month, Yon-Ka, the professional skincare brand already trusted across Ireland, is using its expertise to share specialist-backed advice and calming product solutions for rosacea-prone skin.
Drawing on its rich heritage in phyto-aromatic care, Yon-Ka’s Sensitive and CBD ranges are specifically designed to reduce inflammation, restore skin harmony, and support long-term skin health.
5 top tips for managing rosacea-prone skin
- Prioritise gentle, fragrance-free products
Avoid potential irritants like essential oils and perfumes. Choose formulations made specifically for reactive skin.
- Hydrate & strengthen the skin barrier
Look for ingredients like shea butter and probiotics that lock in moisture and build resilience.
- Cool it down
Cleanse with lukewarm water and avoid physical scrubs. Harsh temperatures and exfoliation can trigger flare-ups.
- Daily SPF is essential
UV exposure is one of the biggest rosacea triggers. Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, rain or shine.
- Get to know Your triggers
Track lifestyle and environmental factors like diet, stress, and temperature. Everyone’s rosacea story is personal.
