From what I understand, if you already have rosacea you tend to blush easier. I think rosacea gets worse with age. Some cases are worse than others. I have a mild case and I am in my 30’s and I blush easily. I would actually call it flush instead of blush. If I laugh alot my face with flush. Also other triggers I have noticed that cause the flushing are alcohol, spicey foods, very warm bath/shower, and of course getting upset.
I just looked this up and this is what I found:
Although the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, various theories about the disorder’s origin have evolved over the years. Facial blood vessels dilate too easily, and the increased blood near the skin surface makes the skin appear red and flushed. Various things — called trigger factors — can increase this redness response. Acne-like bumps appear, often in the redder area of the central face. This may be due to factors related to blood flow, skin bacteria, microscopic skin mites (Demodex), irritation of follicles, sun damage of the connective tissue under the skin, an abnormal immune or inflammatory response, or psychological factors.
None of these possibilities has been proven, although potential inflammatory pathways have been identified in recent ongoing research — including an immune response triggered by a type of antimicrobial protein known as cathelicidin. A recent study also found that certain bacteria present on otherwise harmless Demodex mites could prompt an inflammatory response in rosacea patients.
Rosacea is owed to a poor circulation at the level of the face and to parasites in follicles.
Blushers are for nothing there.
