How to Stop Blushing Naturally

Blushing occurs when the blood vessels close to the surface of the face fill up with blood and become enlarged. This makes the skin on the cheeks and face look pink or bright red. People with a fair complexion are more likely to suffer from issues associated with blushing. Blushing can be more of a psychological and emotional condition than a physical condition. This kind of blushing can be controlled naturally by learning to take control of the emotions that can lead to blushing.

Instructions

• 1

  Take a deep breath and slowly exhale. Continue deep breathing for at least five minutes or until the body is relaxed. Practice deep breathing regularly to help reduce stress. People who are relaxed are less likely to blush.

• 2

  Think about something other than the embarrassing event that is causing the blushing. Focus on positive events that have happened.

• 3

  Avoid eating spicy food. Eating spicy foods will increase blood flow to the face.

• 4

  Wear a scarf when heading out in cold weather. A change in air temperature, particularly from cold to warm, can cause people to blush.
