Couperose skin... A nice name for a condition that is often difficult to live with. Couperose skin is where fine red or purple blood vessels appear on the face. This localised redness is permanent and can be a real nuisance. The better you understand this condition, the better you can deal with it.
When your skin turns red, it is because your blood vessels are dilating. Normally, this dilation is only temporary, and the redness disappears when the vessels return to normal. If you suffer from rosacea, and more specifically couperose skin, small blood vessels on your face remain “ swollen ”. They then become obvious and can be seen with the naked eye on the skin. This condition affects hypersensitive skin, which already tends to blush suddenly and excessively at the slightest irritation. In recent years, specialists have identified other causes, such as inflammation related to immune deficiencies.
