Who is Lex?
Hi, that’s me! I was diagnosed with rosacea 20 years ago and I’ve been sharing my experiences, educating others, supporting the community, and raising awareness for rosacea for 12 years.
To put it simply, I started talking about rosacea online because no one else was doing it. I remembered all too well how frustrated, isolated, and hopeless I felt when I was first diagnosed, and so I decided that if I couldn’t find rosacea representation, education, and support then I would be the one to provide that for others who needed it. You can find me all over the internet (and on TV, in print, and on the radio) banging the drum for rosacea and skin positivity, but this will be the home for my newsletter, rosacea information, and more personal writing.

Why subscribe?
Don’t just take my word for it, here are some testimonials from lovely Rosacea Club subscribers:
“I like it because I don't know exactly what I want to read about, I have rosacea but I don't usually have a specific question I want answering. Lex curates information and topics that are not only relevant but often interesting to me. I love the mixture: sometimes it’s a deep dive into topical issues (like the social media 'experts' post) and other times I like the completely unrelated book or podcast recommendations!” - TM"
“I highly recommend Lex and her rosacea club substack to honestly anyone. We all have concerns about our skin at one point or another and Lex provides information on how to track symptoms, how to talk to your GP about your concerns, and provides honest reviews on skincare and make up.
Her newsletter provides a variety of content including recommendations of music, books and films, plus inspirational reminders to help everyone remember that "we are more than our skin/appearance". I developed rosacea four years ago and spent hours researching it to understand it and try to "cure" it. Thankfully Lex came up on my search and I am so grateful because, not only have I accepted my skin, I am now no longer ashamed of it and I no longer feel alone.” - EM
