Asthma & rosacea: Is there a link?
Yes, there is a connection.

Having asthma doesn’t mean you will develop rosacea. But when the two coexist, it can help explain skin sensitivity and skin patterns.

Both asthma and rosacea are inflammatory conditions. Different parts of the body, but they share some common features.

• An over-reactive immune response. • Ongoing low-grade inflammation. • Fragile barriers (airways and skin).
Our airways have their own protective lining, much like the skin (pretty fascinating, eh?). • Sensitivity to stress, temperature changes and environmental triggers.

This helps explain why the two conditions are sometimes seen together.

Why is rosacea-prone skin more sensitive?

In rosacea, the skin tends to have: • A weakened skin barrier • Heightened immune reactivity • Increased inflammation and vascular sensitivity

This means the skin doesn’t regulate itself as effectively as more resilient skin. It can over-respond to things that would usually be well-tolerated.

A note on inhalers (puffers).
For those who use inhalers, the skin around the mouth and nose can sometimes feel drier or more easily irritated in rosacea-prone skin. They don’t cause rosacea, but it may mean the skin needs a little more support.

There’s been a bit of chat this week about 2016, so I thought I’d add a little of my own world from then.

Some of you might remember parts of this chapter if we’ve known each other for a while. 🫶

For me, it was a year full of travel, change, and a few other things in between.

2016 feels close and impossibly far away at the same time.

I don’t usually love these kinds of trends. I tend to think the past is the past. But over the last 10 years, life and the studio have evolved quickly. Alongside the good, there has also been loss, much of which isn’t spoken about on here.

Sometimes it’s worth pausing to look back, then moving forward. Lindy 💚X

Before I start, just a note. ✨
 This post shares awareness around the link between autoimmune conditions and rosacea. If you have, or suspect an autoimmune condition, medical or practitioner health guidance is essential.

Rosacea itself is not an autoimmune disease. However, people with autoimmune conditions are also more likely to experience rosacea.

This is thought to relate to immune dysregulation, in which the immune system becomes more reactive and slower to resolve.

Some common patterns seen when rosacea and autoimmune conditions overlap include.
 • flares linked to stress, illness, or periods of fatigue • sensitivity to stress and nervous system overload • heightened sensitivity to temperature changes • flares that take longer to calm and fully settle • slower skin healing and recovery

In rosacea, this can show up as.
 • redness and inflammation • flushing and heat sensitivity • blood vessels react easily, causing visible redness • skin that struggles to protect itself and hold moisture

In some people, conditions like MCAS or dysautonomia may also play a role. These affect how the body responds to heat, stress, and stimulation, which can help explain more flushing and reactivity.

Rosacea support is not one-size-fits-all. Every skin responds differently to products and treatments.

Save this post if it helps you better understand your skin, or share it with someone who may find it helpful. Lindy 💚 X

This is a skin health/wellness space, but it’s also a human one, and what we put into the world matters for our wellbeing, even when we don’t always realise it.

Let’s make 2026 better.

Closing out the year with a gentle reminder, we can all give thought to carrying.

To move through the world with more care. To treat everyone as people, to pause before judging, and to choose empathy and kindness even when no one is watching and there’s nothing to gain.

To be patient, grateful, and present with those we love, and thoughtful in the work we do. To remember that decency to others is never outdated.

To listen more than we talk. To say thank you often to the people around us and to strangers alike. And to remember that gratitude never goes out of fashion.

Let’s do better in 2026.

As we say in Scotland, I wish you Slàinte (good health) for the coming year, to you and your loved ones. Love, Lindy 💚 x

As we say goodbye to 2025, I want to take a moment to thank those of you who have been part of The Peaceful Skin Co. this year.

Whether you’ve visited the studio, trusted me with your skin, purchased skincare here, shared a post, or referred a friend, thank you for your support.

The Peaceful Skin Co. exists because of your support, and I’m truly grateful.

I hope that the treatments you’ve experienced, the guidance I’ve shared, and the conversations we’ve had, both in the studio and online, have supported your skin health and overall wellbeing.

As things begin to slow, I hope you find time to rest, reconnect, and spend time with the people that matter most to you. And for those for whom this season is not easy, you are in my thoughts.

For those visiting the studio, it will close from 2pm on 24 December and reopen on 9 January. I will be back in the new year and cannot wait to return to doing what I love and caring for your skin.

I wish you and your loved ones a new year filled with kindness, abundance, care and ease. Lindy 💚 X

A gentle reminder for us all. Unity is a state of being together, standing close, holding one another with care, when fear and hatred try to take hold.

Let’s talk about a lesser-known form of rosacea: neurogenic rosacea. Pictured above. 🔼

Rosacea is grouped into four main subtypes, but neurogenic rosacea is not included in these traditional categories.

While some forms of rosacea are linked to Demodex mite overgrowth, neurogenic rosacea is mainly driven by the nervous system rather than mites.

Because this rare type is nerve-driven, it often shows up as.
 • Burning or stinging • Deep facial heat • Tingling or electric-type sensations • Extreme sensitivity to touch and products • Sometimes very little visible redness at all

One of the clues with neurogenic rosacea is that it can flare without the usual triggers like heat, spicy food or alcohol.

The sensory nerves in the skin become overreactive, sending pain and heat signals even when there is no apparent cause.

Stress, hormones, trauma and ongoing inflammation can keep the nervous system in a heightened state, so the skin reacts first, sometimes before you even realise you are stressed.

This can be incredibly frustrating, because the skin can feel painful even when it does not look as inflamed as it feels.

When treating neurogenic rosacea, the focus must always be on gentle, calming treatments. Aggressive treatments can make this type worse and more painful.

The aim is to calm the nervous system, settle inflammation, strengthen the skin barrier, and gently manage triggers with the right products, lymphatic work, LED and lifestyle support.

For some people this is enough. For others, medical support may also be needed to help manage nerve related triggers.

If this has been of interest to you, please feel free to share this with others on your Instagram. You never know who might quietly be struggling. Lindy 💚X

This quote lives on the studio wall as a gentle reminder to all of us that your skin responds best when we work with it, not against it. This is the ethos that guides everything here at The Peaceful Skin Co.

We need to support repair of the skin over aggression for healthier skin function, a balanced microbiome and lasting resilience.

When we work with the skin, it can function at its best for long-term skin health, a quiet reminder that healthier skin starts with understanding, not overwhelming it. Lindy 💚x

Hello, lovely people. ✨
 With a few new faces here, I thought I’d share a little about myself, if you’re remotely curious, haha.

I’m originally from Edinburgh, Scotland and have spent more than 25 years working in the skin, spa and wellbeing world across Australia and internationally.

I founded The Peaceful Skin Co. in 2007. My work has always centred on a holistic approach, well before it became mainstream. I take an integrative view of the skin and look at the whole person.

With treatments that support the skin gently and encourage long-term skin health, using advanced skincare and techniques that help calm the nervous system.

I focus on rosacea, sensitivity and eczema, especially for clients who have struggled to find the proper support. I’m a lifelong learner of anything skin/health and have a special interest in how stress and mental wellbeing can affect the skin.

I believe there is room for everything in the beauty world. The studio is a judgment-free space, and my focus is on calm, thoughtful work that helps the skin feel settled and supported.

Outside the studio, I love travel, textiles, design, cooking and anything involving British humour. I love a good laugh a British comedy and a good sarcastic joke/ meme.

If you’re ready to begin your skin health journey or simply need a quiet moment to reset, I’d love to welcome you into the studio. Lindy 💚 x
