Which skin condition is characterized by redness and visible blood vessels?

Acne
Couperose skin
Eczema
Psoriasis

The correct answer is: Couperose skin

The condition characterized by redness and visible blood vessels is couperose skin. This skin condition is often a sign of broken capillaries and dilated blood vessels, usually found on the cheeks and around the nose. Individuals with couperose skin frequently experience sensitivity and flushing. Understanding this condition is essential, especially in esthetics, as it influences the choice of treatments and products. For example, aggressive treatments for acne may not be suitable for someone with couperose skin due to its sensitivity. Awareness of couperose skin also helps estheticians to provide appropriate skincare advice and to implement gentle techniques that address both beauty and health considerations.
