I know this might be strange but... I blush so easily over things.

I mean, I didn't really notice it until a year ago when one of my friends kept on pointing it out.

"Oh, your face is turning into a tomato!! *poke*"

"Gosh, she turns red a lot!!"


And it's true. >__<; My face feels really warm... and sometimes, when I look into the mirror, it's really red. T____T; And since last year, it's become really bad. Because now I know when I'm blushing, and when I feel like I'm blushing, I get even more embarrassed that I'm blushing, and blush even more. Am I making any sense? ;___;

So I was wondering... is there a way to... uhh... stop from blushing? I'm a bit tan, but it doesn't stop it or anything. Would getting tanner skin help? Or... would wearing foundation help? I'm a bit new to makeup so I'm not sure...

It gets worse when I see cute people. .__.; I try thinking about other things when they approach me, but that doesn't work too. T_T

I'm sorry if this thread is in the wrong section, but any advice would be appreciated. ;_;

I get red too! Especially when I have a convo w/ someone I don't know that well. xD I don't think you can stop it though.

[Rainie]

I get red really easily as well, the only way to get rid of it is to wear foundation and powder. It covers the redness for sure, even when you blush.

[cooki3s]

yeah, i get red easily too >_<
hate it so much =/
my friend told me theres calming creams that can reduce the redness...but i never bought any of the products...so i wouldnt know if they work

[apricotpie]

iono its weird.. my ears turn red instead. xD... umm i guess the onlyway is to hide ur face. xDD jkk i do that

[Echoe]

It's possible you might have the skin condition called rosacea.

[saysjessi]

^ i thought that was only associated with alcohol? or am i thinking of something else....

i read in cosmo or some magazine that if you hold onto something cold, like a cold water bottle or glass, right when you feel like you're starting to blush, you can prevent it. never tried it, though. i also have a problem with turning cherry red

[SweetSerenity]

Well, i use to have the same problem as you ^^ But now i'm good o_o;;
Here are some ways i use to solve the red blushing problem *>_<*

1. Personal Way - Get more confidence in yourself, so that you don't get embarrassed easily. ^^ Don't listen to what others say or anything! It'll make it worse.
2. Cosmetic Way - Try using a green foundation. o_o It cancels out redness.
3. Product Way - You can buy some products in CVS or Walgreens if you live in the States that cancels redness. Just ask one of the workers for help *^^*
4. Rich Way - i'm sure there's a surgery for this out there somewhere o_o;;

I use #1 and #2 ^^ So now i'm good.

The only time when these methods didnt work for me is when i was soooooooooooo embarrassed and lost my confidence that i blushed even through the make up T_T my face like heated up and like melted the green away D: LMAO

[mashimaro_is_luff]

i have the same problem.. my face blush so much when i dont even notice it.. it's so embarrassing..

[Ningyo]

Okay this is really a psychological thing, but don't worry!!! I think you can fix it, cuz I did .

I had never blushed by just talking to someone before, but for some reason I just started to at one point during HS @@ dont ask me I dont know how... I'd feel like the blush coming up from my neck and then my face would get warm. I eventually got over it cuz I was all like "What the hell??? Why do I suddenly just start blushing now when I talk to someone cute???"

You just have to not think about it, dont think oh god, I always blush at this time! If you feel the heat coming on your face, FIGHT IT! I know you have an urge to just kind of let it hit you and hope to get it over with, but dont instead of thinking "Oh god, I'm blushing, think what's there to blush about?"

Smiling also helps, cuz it gives you confidence and something else to think about it

On the flip side, I'm sure some guys out there think blushing is cute!

[melkimx]

i blush easily too. it's horrible and embarrassing. like i can pretty much count on turning red if i'm giving a speech. i'll also turn red if i'm talking to someone who intimidates me, like a smart teacher or something... thank god i'm out of school; i can't remember this happening ever since then, except maybe the first time i met my boyfriend. i've had people give me a funny look while i'm talking because i'm turning red, and of course that makes it so much worse. i've also been told i turn red when someone's telling a dirty joke, but i don't feel like that one is true. and i have pale skin so everything just shows. the only thing where i'm off the hook is drinking... so many asians turn red then, but i don't.

since for me it's social situations, i try to go into them prepared, like rehearse what i'm about to say and just slow down when i start talking too fast and the heat builds up. i haven't found any cosmetic fixes or anything. haha i don't really wear blush though.

[mistresstigress]

I find that so adorable lols.

[NJSK.]

Ah, I blush so easily too, and I can feel my face heat up like crazy - there's nothing I can do about it, though =(


muchlove!

[samm]

[molle3]

Happens to me too
it hasn't happened to me in awhile though but when it does its so embarressing

[dorkafied!]

This is off topic, but your avatar really suits you since you blush a lot xD
Just don't try to be embaressed that's all I can say. Since I don't blush easily xD

[engot02]

Teeheee~ that's exactly like me!
Or worse. I notice even my arms gets red when I get really really embarassed.

I get embarassed of the smallest things!
*Sigh. and I get more red when they say "Omg. You're blushing! You're so red."

I also get red when like I read infront of the class. Haha.
Like I feel so hot in the face. Grr!

Or I dno .. sometimes .. I just have a blush on my face.
Like .. when its cold then suddenly I come into a hot room. It looks like I have blush-on.



I guess the best thing you can do is HIDE. LOL.
like hide behind your hands or behind your friend.
That's what I do ~

[mellybean]

coming from a different point of view (i don't blush easily), just like the poster above, i find people who blush adorable. so if it makes you feel any better, even though you may not like it, other people might think you're cute. anyway, i looked it up online, and here are some suggestions people make about chronic blushing:

1. cut down on coffee/alcohol/tea
2. wear uv protection
3. don't eat spicy/high carb foods before socializing
4. If in a stuffy room, insist on opening window, switch off radiators, turn on fan or a/c
5. use a green cream for rosy complexion with your foundation

hope that helps! good luck.

[미소&눈물]

haha you can get that surgery like the girl on grey's anatomy
