The National Rosacea Society has revealed that cold weather is often a rosacea trigger for many individuals. From a total of 1,066 patients studied, 46% reported cold weather exacerbated their condition while 57% were affected by windy weather The dramatic drop in temperature combined with biting winds can wreak havoc on sensitive skin.
