What causes facial skin to turn red easily?

The facial skin easily turns red, also known as facial flushing. One of the common reasons is the problem of facial red bloodshot. This is a skin disease caused by the expansion of facial capillaries. When people are emotionally excited or after exercise, it often causes facial flushing. This is related to genetic reasons. Of course, the induced type is the most common. For example, frequent use of some corticosteroid drugs is an important cause of skin thinning and atrophy.

The first reason is the long-term local use of corticosteroids, which causes capillary dilation, leading to skin thinning and atrophy. The second reason is living in high-altitude cold areas or suffering from frostbite, which results in obstructed blood circulation and congestion of blood vessels, causing red blood streaks on the face. The third reason is cosmetic skin resurfacing. Because skin resurfacing products mainly contain benzoic acid, benzoic acid repeatedly stimulates the thin and delicate facial areas, exposing the unprotected dermis to the outside and exposing it to strong ultraviolet rays. The fourth reason is that sensitive skin generally has a thin stratum corneum. They are more sensitive to external sunlight, drugs, cosmetics, temperature (hot or cold), etc., which causes the blood vessels to tighten and loosen repeatedly, showing 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.

Prevention 1. Avoid alcohol and spicy food in diet. People with facial flushing have relatively sensitive skin, especially the flushed area. 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.
