1. Everyone assumes you have a wicked sunburn.
2. Or just came back from frickin' Cancun.
3. Or that it's just acne.
4. Hot summer days are hardest of all.
Getting ready for a whole summer of "Oh bad sunburn?" Nope. That's just what my face looks like 😳 #rosacea
5. But honestly, no season is safe.
This year I am celebrating Christmas early, with this moving tribute to Rudolph. #RosaceaProblems
6. Sometimes it seems like everything can make it worse.
7. Living your normal everyday life seems harder.
8. I mean, even cheese??
9. You'll try any regimen, cream, goop, or lotion for that sweet relief.
10. Really, anything.
11. When you find a product that actually does the trick, it's like Christmas morning.
12. People sometimes write off your condition as "cute," rather than being, ya know, an actual medical condition.
13. Social interactions can get a bit... confusing.
14. It's not only the redness, your face can feel like it's actually on fire.
15. It's really hard not to be self-conscious.
16. You don't always trust sunscreen to be enough.
17. At the end of the day, you've learned how to deal with it and it'll never stop you from living your dang life.
18. And feelin' yourself. 🙌
I was feelin my rosacea and no makeup
