'It's got a little bit worse recently and its showing up a little bit more. A lot of you have suggested about looking into autoimmune conditions.
'Because this can be the two things that come hand in hand the Raynaud's and the facial flushing.
'But to be honest I don't have any symptoms at all. I would just be looking for something wrong with me at this point.
'A lot of you are saying you can go on medication for the Raynaud's. I don't think it's that bad I just wondered if there was a cream I could put on my face.
'The Raynaud's is not in a good space at the moment. I couldn't text because my hands were so white and I'm dreading filming outside.'
It comes after Zara was knocked over on a 'busy main road' by a cyclist on an electric bike.
The star shared her frustrations after being ploughed into and sworn at while going about her day on Wednesday.
The influencer and presenter revealed she had been in the collision after the individual had been riding on the 'wrong side' of the road.

Sharing the update to her Instagram Stories, she said: 'To the cyclist who was riding an electric bike on the wrong side of the road, knocked me over on a busy main road, swore at me and drove off. Thanks.
'Honestly what is wrong with some people!!! The worst thing is no one came over to help me'.
Zara's experience comes after Jeremy Vine, a huge cycle campaigner, sparked another furious debate on Twitter over who is in the right after he shared footage of when he was nearly hit by a bus while cycling.
The BBC Radio 2 host can be heard shouting 'woah' as a red double-decker bus overtook him on his right-hand side while he cycled in the middle of a bus lane.
The cycle campaigner's video sparked a heated debate online after he posted the 53-second clip to his 790,000 followers on Twitter.
