Sofia Vergara reveals that she suffers from rosacea caused by the lights on set

Although Colombian sensation Sofia Vergara loves to be in the spotlight and render the best performance every time she is in front of the camera, her passion for acting has also contributed to a certain disease that causes the reddening and swelling of the skin - rosacea - and has been an ongoing struggle for nearly a decade.

Mrs. Manganiello confessed in an interview with Who What Wear that the condition turns her skin bright red because the blood vessels dilate, which also leads to acne and extreme sensibility in the skin.

“I have struggled with this for six or seven years. It is hard because I get very red, so I realized that I need to treat my skin as a sensitive skin, which I did not do before," she revealed.

Sofia has also had to change her trusty, go-to beauty products, since some of them cause secondary reactions to her skin. “I loved products and I tried them all, whatever you said. If you told me to put cement under my eyes, I would do it. Unfortunately all that fun is over.”

Besides treatments, the Modern Family star has turned to new products to keep her skin healthy. “I can't use moisturizers or heavy oils anymore. I must keep it simple,” she explained.
