Overuse of sunscreen

The correct answer is: Damage or trauma to the skin

Couperose skin is characterized by redness and visible blood vessels, often on the cheeks and nose, typically resulting from factors that lead to vascular dilation and sensitivity in the skin. Damage or trauma to the skin is a key contributor to the development of couperose skin. This can be caused by factors such as excessive scrubbing, harsh exfoliation, or irritants in skincare products that compromise the skin's barrier, leading to increased redness and fragility of blood vessels. In addition to trauma, environmental factors like extreme temperatures, wind, and sun exposure can exacerbate the condition by causing blood vessels to expand, making them more visible. It's important to manage not just external trauma, but also to maintain a gentle skincare routine to prevent further irritation and support skin health.
