Wouldn't the sun help people with Rosacea because the sun thickens the skin? Doesn't people with Rosacea have very thin skin, thats why the red blood vessels show? Wouldn't staying out in the sun thicken the skin making the blood vessels less visible? Thin skin is usually really sensitive too right?

Researchers have found that sun exposure may potentially cause blood vessel damage that is associated with rosacea.

"The significance of sun-damaged skin in rosacea cannot be stressed enough," said Dr. Gerd Plewig, professor of dermatology at the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, a noted rosacea researcher. He suggests that all rosacea patients should use sunscreens as part of their daily skin-care regimen.
