To prevent rosacea, attention must be paid to reducing individual risk factors.
Behavioral risk factors
- Diet
- Hot drinks
- Strongly spiced food/spices (e.g. chili).
- Pleasure food consumption
- Alcohol
- Physical activity
- Sports
- Body care
- Sunbathing
Environmental pollution – intoxications (poisonings)
- Temperature changes such as hot / cold weather.
- UV radiation/intense solar radiation
Prevention factors (protection factors)
- Coffee consumption in women is not only not a trigger in rosacea, but may actually reduce the risk of rosacea based on data from a large prospective cohort study: those who reported drinking ≥ 4 cups daily had a nearly one-quarter lower risk of rosacea (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.69-0.87) than subjects who drank coffee less frequently than once per month.
