Q My face flares up when I come into a warm room from the cold in winter, or when I'm out in the summer sun. Which triggers should I be especially careful about?
A The main triggers are sudden temperature changes, UV light, hot saunas and steam baths, alcohol, and spicy food. Simply using sun protection and reducing temperature swings can noticeably cut down how often you flush.
Detailed Answer
Sudden temperature changes from moving between cold and hot places, strong sunlight, and high-heat environments such as saunas and steam baths rapidly dilate the facial blood vessels and trigger flushing. UV light damages the skin's blood vessels and barrier, worsening rosacea over the long term, so year-round sun protection is especially important.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
These external triggers act as a switch that further unsettles the upward-floating heat. While lowering internal heat, Dongjedang first guides you through easy-to-practice daily management—such as using sunscreen and reducing temperature differences—so that the face is less affected by external stimuli.
