Causes of facial flushing in TCM

Second, living in high-altitude cold areas or suffering from frostbite can cause obstruction of blood circulation and congestion of blood vessels, resulting in red blood streaks on the face.

3. It is caused by 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 being exposed to strong ultraviolet rays.

4. Sensitive skin generally has a thin stratum corneum. They are 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 form red blood streaks.

Causes of facial flushing

People with facial flushing are easily affected by climate and emotions, and 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 on the face to dilate, aggravating the severity of facial flushing.

Treatment

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 drugs, you should have targeted treatment and not choose blindly.
