Identifying the underlying causes is critical to your <strong>prevention and management<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, we explain the <strong>factors<\/strong> most common factors that contribute to its appearance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"rtoc-5\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Climatic factors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>sudden changes in temperature<\/strong> have a significant impact on the skin, especially in people prone to couperose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exposure to extreme temperatures, whether cold or hot, can cause <strong>dilation of blood vessels<\/strong>Cold causes vasoconstriction, but sudden contact with heat causes capillaries to dilate abruptly, worsening facial redness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the <strong>strong wind<\/strong> can <strong>irritate<\/strong> the skin and <strong>dehydrate<\/strong> its protective barrier, making it more vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"rtoc-6\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hormonal changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>hormonal fluctuations<\/strong> can affect the <strong>blood circulation<\/strong> and <strong>increase fragility<\/strong> of the glasses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These alterations, common during menstruation, pregnancy or menopause, generate an increase in <strong>blood volume<\/strong>, which makes the dilation of the vessels more visible and contributes to facial redness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"rtoc-7\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alcohol and tobacco consumption<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These habits are important factors in the development of couperose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He <strong>alcohol causes vasodilation<\/strong>, which increases blood flow to the skin and causes redness. <strong>tobacco<\/strong>, on the other hand, <strong>affects the oxygenation of the skin,<\/strong> compromising the health of blood vessels and promoting the appearance of spider veins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"rtoc-8\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sun exposure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Solar radiation can be another significant trigger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>inadequate exposure<\/strong> to UV rays <strong>weakens capillaries<\/strong>, making them more likely to break and cause redness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"rtoc-9\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stress and intense emotions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>He <strong>stress<\/strong> It has been linked to numerous alterations in skin health, and couperose is no exception.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the <strong>strong emotions<\/strong>, such as anger or embarrassment, can cause blood vessels to dilate, exacerbating facial redness in people with couperose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"rtoc-10\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food and hot drinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The consumption of <strong>extremely hot or spicy foods or drinks<\/strong> can increase the <strong>body temperature<\/strong> and dilate the blood vessels in the face, causing an immediate increase in blood flow and contributing to redness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"rtoc-11\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Topical irritants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using harsh cosmetics, cleansers that strip the skin of its natural oils, and overly harsh exfoliants can <strong>weaken the protective barrier<\/strong> of the skin, causing irritation and worsening facial redness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rtoc-12\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prevention of couperose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent couperose in susceptible people, it is essential <strong>take action<\/strong> that reduce the appearance
