Why is my face flushed and hot?

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes symptomatic treatment, which means that through the symptoms of the human body, it can be diagnosed whether the body is suffering from a certain symptom. In this way, symptomatic treatment can achieve twice the result with half the effort. So what causes the flushing and hotness on your face? What should I do if my face becomes red and hot? In real life, how should female friends deal with this symptom after experiencing it? Let’s take a brief look at it together.

1. What causes facial redness and fever?

Facial redness is directly related to the body's blood circulation system. Wind, sun, and high temperature stimulation can damage the facial meridians, causing blood vessels to dilate and causing the disease; or blood stasis can block the meridians, causing blood vessels to flow poorly, and blood stasis can block the skin, causing blood vessels to dilate. Poor blood circulation can make it difficult for toxins in the body to be excreted, which can also form red blood streaks. Poor blood circulation is also directly related to the lack of vitamins and trace elements in the body. The lack of these substances directly causes the capillary walls to lack elasticity and cause expansion. The causes of red blood streaks can be roughly divided into two types: genetic and induced. The genetic type is mostly familial. Hair style is the most common, and the main reasons are as follows:

1. Long-term local use of corticosteroids can cause capillary dilation, leading to thinning and atrophy of the skin;

2. Blood circulation is blocked, blood vessel walls are stagnant, and red blood streaks appear on the face;

3. Misuse of skin care products containing hormones or drug ingredients, photorejuvenation, acid peels and other exfoliating treatments can make the skin's stratum corneum thinner and more transparent, easily leading to facial redness.

4. The skin itself is sensitive to external stimuli, which causes the blood vessels to tighten and loosen, showing repeated congestion, causing the blood vessels to dilate tortuously, and forming redness and red bloodshot on the face.

2. How to solve the problem of facial redness and hotness

1. Don’t wear heavy makeup. In daily life, it is better to wear light makeup. Heavy makeup will not only make people look weird, but also inhibit the skin from "breathing" smoothly.

2. Take breaks when applying makeup. Skin that doesn't get a rest will become scarred due to the endless accumulation of makeup. Therefore, you should give your skin proper rest. For example, don't wear makeup when you are not going out, just apply a little nourishing cream.

3. Don’t be sticklers when choosing cosmetics. Some people, in pursuit of or getting accustomed to a famous brand, use the same brand of cosmetics for several years or even more than ten years, as if this is the best choice. Little did they know that there are so many dangers. Any cosmetic has the property of inhibiting certain substances, so when only one cosmetic is used, some substances are inhibited while other substances are rampant, which will also have adverse effects on the skin.

4. Remove makeup promptly and thoroughly. Some people want to look better with makeup on, so they don't even want to remove it before going to bed; some young women even put on makeup again at night to please their husbands. These are all inappropriate. If the skin does not get rest, it will inevitably age and become damaged.

5. You must have a keen eye to identify inferior cosmetics. When buying cosmetics, you should not only look at the appearance, but also open it to see the contents. Poor quality and expired cosmetics generally undergo some changes, such as the color of the cosmetics changing from its normal color to black, yellow, or brown; the appearance of bubbles and strange smells; the surface becoming discolored and showing mildew; the cosmetics becoming thinner and water coming out of the surface when not in use, etc.

6. Carefully check the supervision label of cosmetics and choose a shorter production date.

7. People who often suffer from allergies can choose cosmetics without additives.
