Why is my face red

Many times we think that rosy cheeks are cute, but blushing is not always good-looking. If it is caused by pathological reasons, then it is truly a morbid beauty. When the problem of red face occurs, we must distinguish whether it is caused by weather changes or by illness. We must find the correct cause so that we can get more targeted treatment and restore facial health.

1. Features

The faces of patients with facial erythema appear redder than normal skin color. Some patients only have redness on both sides of the cheekbones with round borders. This type of skin is thin and sensitive, and the face turns redder when it is too cold, too hot, or emotional. In severe cases, deposited pigmentation will form, which is difficult to cure. It not only affects the beauty of appearance, but also causes psychological shadows and brings great inconvenience to normal life. Therefore, removing red blood streaks is not only necessary but also urgent. There are many reasons for red blood streaks.

2. Reasons

First, long-term local use of corticosteroids can cause capillary dilation, leading to thinning and atrophy of the skin;

Second, living in high-altitude cold areas or suffering from frostbite, which causes blood circulation to be blocked and blood vessel walls to stagnate, resulting in red blood streaks on the face;

The third is cosmetic skin resurfacing, because skin resurfacing products mainly contain benzoic acid, which repeatedly stimulates the thin, tender and delicate facial area, exposing the unprotected dermis to the outside and receiving strong ultraviolet radiation;

Fourth, sensitive skin generally has a thin stratum corneum, and is more sensitive to external sunlight, medicines, cosmetics, temperature (hot or cold), etc., which causes the blood vessels to tighten and loosen, presenting repeated congestion, causing the blood vessels to dilate tortuously, and forming red blood streaks.

People with facial flushing are easily affected by climate and emotions. The flushing phenomenon will be more obvious after exercise and when they are emotionally excited. Frequent entry and exit of spaces with large temperature differences in winter will cause the capillaries in the face to dilate, aggravating the severity of facial flushing. Many people living in plateaus and cold areas experience facial flushing, which is the most powerful evidence of the impact of temperature environment on the face.

3. Treatment Methods

As we all know, the pathological change of facial flushing is a skin sensitivity phenomenon caused by the thinning of the stratum corneum. It is a red network on the face caused by the dilation and congestion of subcutaneous capillaries. Therefore, in the treatment of facial flushing, it is necessary to treat thoroughly from the inside out according to the pathogenesis of the face, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis from the inside, clear the blood stasis in the subcutaneous capillaries, and repair the facial stratum corneum from the outside in order to achieve the purpose of treating both the symptoms and the root cause and restoring skin immunity. In addition, when choosing medicines, you should have targeted treatment and not choose blindly.

4. Prevention

Avoid alcohol and spicy food

People with facial flushing have relatively sensitive skin, especially the flushed areas. Sometimes, small itchy bumps will appear even without mosquito bites. For this kind of skin, you should avoid spicy food, alcohol and other irritating foods. Alcohol and spicy food can cause internal heat and capillary dilation, and the first reaction on the face is facial flushing. Of course, spicy food and alcohol are the nemesis of good skin.

Do more moisturizing massage on the flushed area

Facial flushing often occurs in people with dry skin, and the degree of dryness is more serious than other parts of the face. The work to reduce flushing starts with moisturizing, and moisturizing work should be done conscientiously every morning and evening. However, choosing moisturizing products itself requires certain skills and cannot be chosen casually, especially for men, many moisturizing products contain alcohol. As mentioned above, people with facial flushing are prohibited from using alcohol. Therefore, when choosing a product, it is best to ask clearly or try it on the inside of your arm and then smell it to see if there is any smell of alcohol.
