Couperose is a common skin condition in which small, red or purple blood vessels are visible on the skin, especially on the face. These dilated capillaries usually occur on the cheeks, nose, chin or neck and can cause a red glow. Although couperose is harmless, it can be cosmetically disturbing.
Causes of couperose
Couperose is caused by weakened blood vessel walls, which can be caused by:
- Genetic predisposition: Couperose is more common if it runs in the family.
- Temperature fluctuations: Exposure to cold, heat or sun can dilate the blood vessels.
- Age: As the skin ages, the blood vessel walls lose their elasticity.
- Lifestyle: Alcohol, smoking and spicy food can aggravate rosacea.

Tips for home
