Why Sunblock and Moisturiser Are Essential for Rosacea Sufferers

If you have rosacea, you know the constant balancing act—one moment, your skin feels calm, the next, it’s red, stinging, or flaring up without warning.

The environment can be a powerful trigger in Singapore’s hot and humid climate. According to a survey by the National Rosacea Society, the top four rosacea triggers are:

• ☀️ Sun Exposure – 81%
• 😣 Emotional Stress – 79%
• 🔥 Hot Weather – 75%
• 🌬️ Wind – 57%

Among them, sun exposure ranks #1. That’s why proper sun protection and a calming moisturiser aren’t just part of your skincare routine—they're essential tools in managing your skin condition.

☀️ Sunblock: The #1 Non-Negotiable for Rosacea

The tropical sun in Singapore doesn’t take a break, and neither should your sunscreen. UV rays are one of the most powerful and preventable rosacea triggers.

✅ Choose the Right SPF

Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. It should protect against both UVB (burning rays) and UVA (aging and inflammation-inducing rays). 

✅ Physical over Chemical

People with rosacea often react poorly to chemical sunscreens. Instead, look for physical sunscreens that use non-chemical mineral filters like zinc oxide or micronized titanium dioxide, which reflect rather than absorb UV rays—making them gentler and more effective for sensitive skin.

✅ Apply Like a Pro

Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure. If you are using chemical sunscreen, reapply every 2-3 hours. If you are using physical/mineral sunscreen, reapply after sweating, wiping or swimming.

💨 Moisturiser: Calm, Soothe, and Strengthen

Environmental triggers like wind and heat can leave rosacea-prone skin stinging and inflamed. Moisturising daily helps keep your skin barrier strong and resilient.

Dermatologists agree: a good moisturiser reduces burning, itching, and irritation, and forms a shield against outside irritants.

🌿 Our Pick: KARE Skin Soother Moisturiser

Powered by gentle, barrier-repairing ingredients, this moisturiser is formulated especially for sensitive, redness-prone skin.

In addition to Ceramide 3, it features:
