Facial redness or blushing is something that can give you a really hard time. When you talk with others about this, they might tell you that it’s “cute”, or that it’s not a big deal – but there are situations in life where walking around with a “tomato head” is a big deal.

From a physiological standpoint, it’s a quiet simple and easy-to-understand process. The blood vessels that are located in your facial skin dilate. And that causes the blood flow to increase.

Since the blood vessels in your face are very close to the surface of your skin, the increase in blood flow shows vividly on the outside: it makes your face red.

Common advice that you will get is that you should simply become more self-confident and care less about what other people might think of you.

And while this surely is well-meant advice, it’s a bit too general to be really helpful.

One very simple thing that can help you to reduce your blushing is to actually address it. So when you feel that you’re about to blush, simply state it: “Oh, here it comes again. I’m gonna blush, watch my face.”

What’s funny is that this sometimes can cause the blushing to stop, and then you’re in a situation where you have to correct yourself and say: “Guess it was a false alarm”.

But most of the time it will still occur, but since you pointed it out, you somehow demonstrate that you’re fine with it and that it’s just something that happens and not of big significance. Over time, this can help you to reduce your facial redness.

There are of course several causes of your facial redness, so it depends on what exactly is the cause of your problem.
