Those two are triggers for my rosacea too (nicotine, coca-cola and french fries as well). Although cottage cheese is ok for me.

My face is slowly getting better, just the tightness and my swollen areas below my eyebrow to go now. I am not wearing my contact lenses at the moment either just in case they are the irritant.

I haven't tried cottage cheese yet, anything fried I avoid so oven chips only for me.

Looked somewhat like mine. Do you have flakiness, and especially after shower?

Yes I do get bad flakiness, my skin literally sheds like a snake.

Just mixed some oatmeal and extra virgin olive oil and applied it to my face and gently rubbed it all over,then showered.Although my face went very red initially, after a walk outside it calmed down and now my skin feels very supple and there are less flakes.
