Gut Inflammation & Dysbiosis
H. pylori overgrowth, leaky gut, and imbalanced microbiota are strongly associated with rosacea. These create a constant, low-grade inflammatory response that shows up in the skin.
Rosacea isn’t just about blushing easily or having sensitive skin.
If you’ve been told to “just use gentle products” or avoid spicy foods, there’s more to the story.
In the Functional Skin Reset, we uncover the hidden root causes behind persistent redness, flushing, and flare-ups so you can finally calm your skin from the inside out.
What Is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that presents in four common subtypes:
-
Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea: Redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels
-
Papulopustular Rosacea: Acne-like breakouts and sensitivity
-
Phymatous Rosacea: Skin thickening, especially around the nose
-
Ocular Rosacea: Red, dry, irritated eyes and lids
It’s more than skin-deep - and while triggers like heat, alcohol, and stress may ignite flare-ups, the root drivers are internal.
How Do I Know If I Have Rosacea?
Many people mistake rosacea for acne, sensitivity, or even an allergic reaction.
Here are signs your skin may actually be dealing with rosacea:
Redness that worsens with heat, sun, or emotion
Skin flushing that lingers after meals, exercise, or alcohol
Bumps that resemble acne but don’t respond to typical acne treatment
Skin that reacts strongly to almost any product
The truth?
Topical creams, antibiotics, and laser treatments may reduce visible symptoms - but they don’t solve the internal dysfunction.
And when that goes unchecked, flare-ups often return with more intensity.
The Functional Skin Reset approaches rosacea as a full-body, systemic condition - because your skin is reflecting deeper imbalances.
What’s Really Driving Your Rosacea?
Why Conventional Treatments Don’t Offer Long-Term Relief
Let’s bust a few myths first:
Myth: Rosacea is just sensitive skin.
Myth: You just need to avoid triggers and use gentle products.
Myth: Rosacea is progressive and can’t be reversed.
Melasma isn’t a permanent flaw—it’s a sign your body is asking for deeper support. And that’s exactly where our approach begins.
Melasma can be incredibly persistent.
While you may get temporary fading from hydroquinone, laser therapy, chemical peels, and brightening serums - these treatments don’t address the root cause.
In fact, many topical solutions can trigger rebound pigmentation or increase skin sensitivity.
Nervous System Dysregulation
Chronic stress, burnout, and poor vagal tone can lead to persistent flushing and skin hypersensitivity. The skin's barrier becomes reactive when the body is stuck in “fight or flight.”
Histamine Intolerance & Food Sensitivities
Histamine-rich foods or poor histamine clearance can cause redness, itching, and hives—often mistaken for rosacea.
Immune Dysregulation
Low secretory IgA or elevated inflammatory markers indicate your immune system is overwhelmed—contributing to skin flare-ups and barrier breakdown.
Rosacea by the numbers
Rosacea affects over 16 million Americans
More common in women aged 30–50 - especially with fair skin
76% of people with rosacea report low self-confidence during flare-ups
40 - 60% of rosacea sufferers also experience digestive symptoms
