[Skin Concerns] Does this look like it could be rosacea? Sun damage?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've dealt with facial redness for as long as I can remember, but my nose seems to be getting redder and uglier as I age. I'm able to cover everything up with makeup, but I dream of a day where I'm able to feel comfortable with my appearance without having four layers of product on my face.  My current routine is very simple: I wash with Aveeno Clear Complexion Cleanser and moisturize with Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture for Sensitive Skin. I spot-treat pimples with a benzoyl peroxide gel when needed, but I don't typically get acne.This is what my skin looks like roughly 30 minutes after washing and moisturizing. Big red nose and splotchy cheeks. It's nothing like a rash; my skin is actually quite smooth and doesn't itch or sting.  I've always thought whatever I'm dealing with is nothing like rosacea, but I've been looking at pictures and reading more information and my persistent redness and broken capillaries seem consistent with subtype 1 rosacea. I'm thinking it could also be damage from sunburns I'd gotten on more than a few occasions when I was young and careless about protecting my skin.Any feedback would be so greatly appreciated! My nose has become one of my biggest insecurities and I would like to know what I'm dealing with so I can try to find products that might help me out. I understand I could go to a dermatologist to get help (and will if I need to), but I've always gotten great advice at ScA and wanted to start here.
