Facial burning in heat

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the thoughtful message regarding balancing an enjoyable lifestyle and

avoiding triggers, Marjorie. I also think, based only on my own rosacea and a

gut

feeling, that there is more to rosacea than a vascular disorder.

With the long, hot summer -- since late June, just about every day is 90 or

above -- the central portion of my face has begun to burn when I am outside for

even short periods of time. I am not flushing more than normal; just

expeiencing

the tight, burning feeling. This happens after a couple minutes in the sun

(with

60 spf and hat) and even in the shade after a few minutes. Once I go inside the

burning stops so I know the most practical thing would be to stay inside as much

as possible. I've started riding/walking early in the morning but for those

situations where I need to be outside for a social occasion, etc. does anyone

have

any suggestions to lessen the burning? It seems that my face is lacking a

proper

barrier -- any ideas for strengthening the barrier?

Thanks,
